University Worked With Globalist NGO To Make Mexico’s Judicial System Gay

A taxpayer-funded California university partnered with a United Nations agency to teach Mexican officials how to make their justice system LGBT-friendly, records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

More than 220 Mexican judges, secretaries and officers in Mexico’s judicial branch participated in a virtual University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law course from October to November 2022 on upholding gay and transgender rights, according to materials received in a public records request and translated by the DCNF. The law school’s Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy provided the course in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Mexico’s Federal Judiciary Council, an agency that oversaw the country’s court system before legislative reforms delegated its authority elsewhere.

The UCLA course underscores the yearslong relationship between American legal institutions and Mexico’s government to advance liberal causes in both countries. Mexico also funds liberal American attorneys to stop U.S. courts from executing Mexican citizens, a punishment the nation calls “cruel and inhuman,” the DCNF previously reported.

UCLA receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal and state grants, including $641 million California approved in fiscal year 2024 alone. The school successfully sued to regain more than $500 million in federal funds the Trump administration froze in July over alleged campus civil rights violations, CalMatters reported. Master of Laws students at UCLA’s law school will be eligible for $20,500 annually in federal unsubsidized loans by July, according to the school’s website.

The law school, which houses the Williams Institute, did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment about whether the course is ongoing and where its funding comes from. The UNFPA and the head of Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry also did not respond to inquiries. (Read more from “University Worked With Globalist NGO To Make Mexico’s Judicial System Gay” HERE)

Britain’s First Homosexual ‘Parent’ via Baby Purchase Charged with Rape, Sexual Exploitation

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, the 57-year-old multimillionaire owner of Isthmian League football club Maldon and Tiptree, has long been an advocate for homosexuals acquiring children, specifically through surrogacy.

In 1999, Drewitt-Barlow and Tony Barlow became Britain’s first homosexual couple registered as “parents” through surrogacy, having purchased twins for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Altogether, the couple ended up buying five children from four surrogate mothers in the United States before Drewitt-Barlow left his “husband” for the young ex-boyfriend of one of the girls in his care.

With his new squeeze, Scott Drewitt-Barlow — and his ex temporarily living with them in a Florida mansion — the homosexual activist quickly obtained another child through in vitro fertilization, and then another two.

While Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has drawn ample criticism over his manner of acquiring babies, he is now in hot water for his alleged dealings with an older demographic.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow — who claimed on British television last year that he paid a super model over $68,000 for her eggs to reduce the risk of having an “ugly” child — and his 32-year-old “husband,” Scott, were arrested in Essex, U.K., on Wednesday and slapped with numerous sexual assault and sexual exploitation charges.

Major Coffee Chain Getting Rid Of Rainbow Flags And Baristas Are Losing It

San Francisco-born coffee chain Philz Coffee is set to remove “pride” flags from their stores.

The change is part of Philz’s effort to create “a more consistent, inclusive experience across all our stores, including removing a variety of flags and other decor,” CEO Mahesh Sadarangani told the San Francisco Chronicle. Sadarangani has served as CEO since 2021. . .

“This is a change in how our stores look, not in who we are. Our allyship runs deeper than what is on our walls. It shows up in who we hire, how we treat one another and in our annual Pride Month Unity celebration, which returns this June as it has every year. Unity is fundamental to how we operate.”

Sadarangani is exactly right that the rainbow flag (and the lesbian flag, and the asexual flag, and the transgender flag) contribute to a less inclusive environment. The flags are a loud partisan symbol.

A group calling itself “Philz Coffee Baristas” started a Change.org petition Sunday urging Philz to “keep the pride flags up!” The petition is approaching 4,000 signatures as of publication. (Read more from “Major Coffee Chain Getting Rid Of Rainbow Flags And Baristas Are Losing It” HERE)

Christian Athletes Rally Around Jaden Ivey After Bulls Cut Him Following Criticism of Pride Night

Jaden Ivey is no longer a Chicago Bull after he criticized the NBA for celebrating Pride Night. However, he has been welcomed with open arms by a much larger team of Christian athletes who support his beliefs.

Ivey, 24, posted a series of videos criticizing his former team, the Detroit Pistons, for hosting a Pride Night, calling it “unrighteousness.” Ivey further declared that the Detroit Pistons are “not gonna matter on Judgment Day.”

“They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA,” Ivey said in another video. “They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month,’ to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets — unrighteousness. So how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? [Who] are they to say that, ‘Man, this man is crazy’?”

While Ivey has been kicked off his team and criticized by the media and fans online, a growing number of Christian athletes have come to Ivey’s aid, sharing their support and verses of Scripture to strengthen him during this trying time.

Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was among the first to voice his support for Ivey.

Foster Care License Restored to Couple Opposed to Transgender Treatments on Children

A Vermont couple’s fostering license is being restored after their opposition to the practice of sexually transitioning children made them a target.

The married couple was identified as Melinda Antonucci and Casey Mathieu, who said the Vermont Department for Children and Families (DCF) forced them to participate in LGBTQ training when they applied for the license, Fox News reported Friday.

During that process, DCF discussed medical procedures for children transitioning to the opposite sex. In her statement to the outlet, Antonucci said they became foster parents because they wanted to help children in need.

“The state tried to disqualify us because of our protected beliefs and because we wouldn’t say what the government wanted us to say,” adding that the recent settlement meant “our family can continue serving foster youth, and it helps ensure other foster parents won’t be punished for speaking honestly or living out their faith.”

In an announcement Friday, the Center for American Liberty (CAL) said it reached the settlement with DCF, calling it a “landmark federal civil-rights case challenging Vermont’s attempt to impose ideological conditions on foster care licensing.” (Read more from “Foster Care License Restored to Couple Opposed to Transgender Treatments on Children” HERE)

FBI Tells Employees No ‘Pride’ Activities on Company Time

Pride month celebrations at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will not be permitted this June, leadership told agents and directors Thursday.

“I’ve received several questions about the FBI’s stance on Pride Month and what related activities FBI divisions and employees should or should not participate in,” FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson said in an email to assistant directors in charge and special agents in charge on Thursday morning. “So, I want to take the opportunity to make FBI leadership’s expectations clear: There should be no official FBI actions, events, or messaging regarding Pride Month.”

The email told employees that while they are not to engage in any celebration in the office, they are “free to do as you like” in their “personal capacity” or “on your own time,” according to a Fox News report.

“But on FBI time, using FBI resources and your Bureau affiliation, you and your divisions are expected to take no official actions or issue any specific messaging,” Williamson said.

The announcement is a shift from the FBI’s stance on Pride Month under the Biden administration, which openly promoted Pride Month, including decorating the White House with rainbow pillars and hosting Pride celebrations on the South Lawn.

Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show

The Biden administration’s global ambassador for all things LGBT was a travel diva with no regard for cost, who even got smacked down for “inappropriate” spending requests as she traveled on the government dime, according to a batched of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

The emails show that Jessica Stern, the Biden State Department’s Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, failed to report travel expenses on time, requested a costly car for a week in Rome, and berated staff for missing vegetarian meals on her flights as she jetted around the world pushing far-left ideology, according to a batch of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

Stern raked in $180,000 a year as her state-sanctioned LGBT activism took her to all six habitable continents, with stops in places like Fiji and Brazil, where she traveled on the taxpayer dime to march alongside a “transvestite sl*t,” a previous Daily Wire exposé found.

Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire, obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) show that Stern, who left her post after President Donald Trump’s re-election, failed to even report her travel expenses on time. The envoy, who said in her emails that she identifies with “all pronouns,” even admitted that she didn’t know where she would find her expenses after a State Department official asked for her accounting.

“We are still waiting on last year’s accounting for travel from your office … before approving further travel,” wrote a State Department official whose name is redacted in October 2022. “We have every other office except yours. I have asked several times and no one has provided. Please do so as soon as possible.” (Read more from “Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show” HERE)

Trump Orders End to Propaganda Pronouns in Government Email Signatures

Propaganda pronouns, those pronouns chosen by people who want to promote their LGTB ideologies, especially the transgender beliefs, in their government email signatures, are going away.

In fact, under an order from the Office of Personnel Management, they are to be gone by end of business Friday. . .

The order comes from the OPM, over the signature of Chuck Ezell, acting director.

The “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” sets out specific instructions.

Federal agencies and bureaucracies are to review all their programs, contracts, grants and more and end those that “promote or inculcate gender ideology.” (Read more from “Trump Orders End to Propaganda Pronouns in Government Email Signatures” HERE)

Judge Undermines Parental Rights, Blocking Access to Kids’ Medical Records

In a contentious legal battle, a Washington state judge has partially blocked key elements of the newly enacted “A Parents’ Bill of Rights” law. This Republican-backed initiative, spearheaded by state Rep. Jim Walsh, aims to reinforce the role of parents in their children’s education and well-being. Despite the legal setback, most of the law’s provisions remain intact, marking a crucial step in the fight for parental rights.

Initiative 2081, also known as “A Parents’ Bill of Rights,” was approved earlier this year by the Washington state legislature in decisive votes. The initiative declares 15 rights for parents and guardians of public school children, ensuring transparency and parental involvement in various aspects of their children’s lives, including educational materials, school records, and health services.

Rep. Walsh emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, “Custodial parents and guardians cannot be kept in the dark about what their minor children are going through in their lives. Parents have to be told — whether it’s things happening at school or things happening in the healthcare or mental healthcare space connected with school, or really anything affecting a minor child.”

Despite the broad support for the initiative, its implementation faced immediate legal challenges from radical LGBT organizations, represented by activist firms QLaw, Legal Voice, and the ACLU of Washington. These groups argued that the law infringes on students’ rights to privacy and an inclusive educational environment, asserting that it could cause “irreparable harm” to queer and trans students.

Last week, King County Superior Court Judge Michael Scott, appointed by Democratic Governor Jay Inslee, granted a temporary block on parts of the law. Specifically, the judge halted the provisions requiring schools to grant parents access to all their children’s medical and mental health counseling records and the requirement for schools to promptly turn over these records.

While the judge’s ruling is a setback, the bulk of the Parents’ Bill of Rights remains in effect. Rep. Walsh expressed encouragement that the judge left most of the law intact, highlighting the ongoing struggle for parental rights in the face of opposition from progressive groups and certain state officials.

Democratic State Superintendent Chris Reykdal has also weighed in, instructing school districts not to implement parts of the law until further legal clarity is achieved.

Brian Heywood, a key supporter of Initiative 2081, criticized Reykdal’s approach, accusing him of undermining democracy. “WA state Superintendent of Schools believes he is above the law and that the state knows better than parents what is best for your children,” Heywood stated. He called for Reykdal’s removal from office.

Bush-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s New Title IX Rule in Six More States

A Kentucky federal judge blocked the Biden administration Monday from implementing its Title IX expansion for LGBT students in six states.

Bush-appointed U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves sided with Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman’s lawsuit against the United States Department of Education (ED) in blocking the Biden administration’s new Title IX rule in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia, according to the court documents. The new Title IX rule, set to take effect on Aug. 1, 2024, expands protections for LGBT students by preventing discrimination based on “gender identity.”

The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and it alleges “the Department has used rulemaking power to convert a law designed to equalize opportunities for both sexes into a far broader regime of its own making.” Reeves limited the injunction to the six plaintiff states.

“The new rule contravenes the plain text of Title IX by redefining ‘sex’ to include gender identity, violates government employees’ First Amendment rights, and is the result of arbitrary and capricious rulemaking,” Reeves states in the court ruling.

Reeves siding with Coleman’s lawsuit follows in the same steps of Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty blocking Biden’s Title IX rule in four Republican states last week. (Read more from “Bush-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s New Title IX Rule in Six More States” HERE)
