Mathias Reynard, a lawmaker from the Social Democratic Party of Switzerland who first proposed the law, said, “Homophobia is not an opinion. It’s a crime. “This victory sends a strong signal.

Politician who supported LGBTQ ideology in schools caught messaging 16-year-old schoolboy
Scotland’s finance secretary has quit after it was revealed he sent up to 270 private messages to a 16-year-old schoolboy over a period of six months.

UK Labour leadership hopeful vows to seize privately owned homes if they’re not being used to her liking
UK Labour leadership contender Emily Thornberry has laid out her housing policy, vowing to seize empty homes and property if she becomes Labour leader. The shadow foreign secretary told BBC Two’s Victoria Derbyshire if a privately owned property is left vacant for too long, then her government will claim it as their own. “If you leave a flat empty and you’re not using it then you will lose it,” Thornberry said. Derbyshire, visibly surprised by Thornberry’s admission, went on to ask, “What? You mean, you’ll just take it off someone who’s bought it?” “Yes,” Thornberry replied. “They would need to…
Teen launches judicial review after council says female students should share toilets, change rooms and sleeping dorms with boys who identify as girls
A 13-year-old schoolgirl has applied for judicial review, claiming the Oxfordshire County Council’s ‘Trans Inclusion Toolkit for Schools 2019‘ compromises her safety and violates her right to privacy. The young girl has said the 65-page guide for students questioning their gender poses a risk to children by allowing boys and girls to share private spaces, including toilets, changerooms and sleeping dorms. The council’s guidance to more than 300 schools in Oxfordshire states: “Children and young people are supported through the Equality Act 2010 to access the toilet that corresponds to their gender identity; so trans girls because they are girls,…

Doctors acquitted after being accused of unlawful euthanasia on young autistic woman
A Belgium court has acquitted three doctors accused of unlawfully euthanizing a 38-year-old woman who was suffering from mental problems. According to AP, Tine Nys’ family took the case to court, arguing that the euthanasia should never have happened, claiming her mental state wasn’t hopeless and treatment was still possible. Tine Nys’ sisters, Lotte and Sophie, claimed she was not incurably ill, as Belgian law requires, but was suffering from the mental stress of a fail relationship. Despite being affected with severe psychiatric problems in her childhood, the 38-year-old had not received treatment for 15 years. Prior to her death,…

A 19-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome has been placed under house arrest and fined over £500 after asking a transgender police officer if they were a boy or girl. Police support officer, Connor Freel, said she was left feeling “upset and embarrassed” when Declan Armstrong asked in a loud voice, “Is it a boy or is it a girl?” The incident, which occurred in October last year, in Mold, North Wales, was said to have left the 25-year-old transgender officer reluctant to undertake foot patrols alone. Although Armstrong denied making the comments, he was convicted of an offence under the Public…
Convicted child molester freed after claiming he identifies as a woman, no longer deemed a threat as a female
A 23-year-old man convicted of a myriad of sex-crimes will be released from an Iowa prison after claiming he now identifies as a woman. According to the Storm Lake Times, Iowa officials determined that Joseph Matthew Smith’s reduction in testosterone levels following his ‘transition’ puts him at a lower risk of re-offending. Smith, who was convicted of molesting a fellow student at Midwest Christian Services, also reportedly molested up to 15 children under the age of 13 before being sentenced to prison in 2015, the Iowa Sex Offender Registry reveals. At the time, the report found that Smith had a…

Agnostic Historian Says, Roman Sexual Slavery Was Overturned by Christians
Agnostic historian and author Tom Holland has said Christians radically changed the way people treated sex and slavery in the classical world. During an exchange on The Big Conversation, Holland explained that Paul’s idea of lifelong matrimony, as an image of the marriage of Christ and the church, set in train a radical reconfiguring of the way that people came to think about sex and marriage. “I think, by and large, pretty much everyone now takes those assumptions for granted and we can see that,” Holland said. “In the 60s, in particular, there was this kind of sense that Christian…

Biological woman legally listed as child’s “father” after giving birth, biological man listed as “mother”
A biological woman has been legally recognised as the “father” of the child she birthed, in a first for the state of Illinois. If that’s not confusing enough, the woman’s spouse, who is also transgender, will be listed as the “mother” on the child’s birth certificate, despite being born a biological male. “It was so crazy,” Myles Davis, 38, told the Chicago Tribune. “I never even thought the birth certificate would have misgendered us in that way.” Myles, and spouse, Precious, reported the problem to an employer at Equality Illinois and reached out to the LGBTQ rights group Lambda Legal,…
