Jail Scandal Due to Women Guards at Men’s Prison
Wisdom thinks through decisions, reflecting on human nature, to their possible outcomes – and choosing the best final outcome. Political correctness, however, denies human nature and doesn’t consider possible consequences, leading to disasters. And that sums up the problem with gender politics. Here is a perfect example. The next time someone says women can replace [...]

Lesbian TV Hostess Announces Pregnancy, Engagement
This morning a TV news hostess announced her engagement to her colleague, a female reporter, and her pregnancy.

NBC’s Jenna Wolfe revealed she’s been dating foreign correspondent Stephanie [...]
LGBT try to get climate change funding

Noelene Nabulivou, from Fiji, is a member of Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN). She proposed this theory at a panel on Development [...]
UK: Lords make fun of “gay marriage”
Well, that’s also a way of fighting against the rising tide of laws that, in various countries, seek to impose the legal recognition of same-sex “marriages”, and maybe not the least efficient one: to expose those legislative projecs to the ridicule they deserve. As had to be expected, nobody is more talented for this than [...]
Had the woman been a man… Comments on the ECHR ruling of X and others v. Austria on homosexual adoption and the abandonment of natural law.
Director of the ECLJ. The Court establishes that the impossibility of second-parent adoption in a same-sex relationship is discriminatory when such adoption is possible for unmarried heterosexual couples, although the exclusion of the biological parent. The reasoning may be thus summarised: If the woman had been a man, the adoption would have been possible, so it [...]
“Various Forms of the Family” Unnecessary in UN Resolutions
In December, the EU tried to qualify the word “family” with “various forms of the family exist” in a GA resolution on observing the international year of the family (2014). The proposal was shot down by the G77 (who sponsored the resolution), and the EU whined vociferously during the adoption of the resolution in the [...]
Human Rights Alert: Forced abortion and sterilization in China.
Abortion and sterilization are quite different in China than in the US. In the US pro-life and pro-choice advocates debate whether abortion should remain a legal choice. As a result 55 million abortions have taken place in the US. In China fertility is controlled by the state. When women violate the one-child policy or related policies (such [...]

Beware the next UNFPA Youth Forum
UNFPA expects 900 people at a youth forum scheduled for December 4-6 in Bali. It says the Indonesian Vice-President will open the event with UNFPA’s executive director.

Should alternative forms of marriage and family become normative?
Since the 1960s most Western societies have experienced a shift from traditional forms of marriage and family to complex alternative forms of marriage and family.

France to Ban “Mother” and “Father”
France is eliminating the words “mother” and “father” from official documents to pave the way for homosexual marriage. The attempt to create an alternate reality where men and women are interchangeable – or unnecessary – in marriage, now apparently requires denying that mothers and fathers are distinct. This comes just two months after Elton John [...]
Nordic Countries defund Gender Ideology
A devastating blow for “Gender Theory”: the Nordic Council of Ministers (a regional inter-governmental co-operation consisting of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland) has decided to close down the NIKK Nordic Gender Institute. The NIKK had been the flagship of “Gender Theory”, providing the “scientific” basis for social and educational policies that, from the 1970s [...]

UN Women Allowed to Join UNAIDS
When UN Women reached its one year anniversary last year, it was met with a scathing review in The Nation. Long-time UN advocate Barbara Crossette detailed the travails of the new UN agency. Internal issues, such as employee in-fighting, plagued UN Women, as well as external. Backers felt governments and UN higher-ups lacked respect for the women’s agency. Paula Donovan of [...]
Important new study on the effects of same-sex marriage
When I testified last year about a proposed law that would redefine marriage in my state, the legislation’s proponents rested much of their case on a study saying lesbians make better moms than the rest of us. No significant report has emerged to counter it, and so in the public debates the marriage equality side has had the edge in peer reviewed research. That changed this [...]
China Hits Couple With Record Fine for Second Child
If you thought it was costly to have a child, consider how much one couple in China paid. For violating China’s one-child policy by having a second child, the parents were fined 1.3 million yuan ($204,114). Local family planning authorities worked with commerce, industry and township officials to investigate the couple’s finances. The parents were deemed “rich in assets” and hit with the highest [...]
Catholic Bishops Question Girl Scouts Programs
The Girl Scouts have been criticized for years for its leadership pulling the wholesome organization into the trendy world of sexual and gender activism.
