/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney-owned Hulu will stream the gay dating reality show I Kissed a Boy! as part of the streamer’s programming for Pride month, which kicks off June 1.

Hulu announced Monday its “Hulu Has Pride” line-up, which includes the first season of the BBC’s I Kissed a Boy! In the show, ten gay men are brought to a picturesque Italian villa to test the waters of love. As the title hints, the contestants must first kiss their potential matches before proceeding with the dating process. . .

Meanwhile, the spin-off series I Kissed a Girl! — which features lesbians in place of gay men — is also set to stream on Hulu at an unspecified date, according to a Deadline report.

The Walt Disney Company has been gradually integrating Hulu with the family-friendly Disney+ in recent months. Both services are now available together in a single streaming bundle, with Disney+ subscribers able to access Hulu from a tab within the Disney+ app. (Read more from “Disney to Stream Gay Dating Reality Show ‘I Kissed a Boy’ for Pride Month” HERE)

Second-Largest Protestant Denomination in U.S. Votes to Allow LGBT Clergy

/1 Comment/in , /by

United Methodists voted on Wednesday to rescind a denominational rule prohibiting LGBT clergy from ordination, a historic moment for the country’s second-largest Protestant denomination and its progressive drift. . .

At the UMC’s general conference meeting in Charlotte, the denomination struck the prohibition from denomination guidelines with an overwhelming vote, 93% to 7%. The change was passed alongside nearly two dozen other pieces of legislation without debate.

The change follows the conference’s trend, which has been to pass denominational legislation normalizing the LGBT lifestyle and to remove ethical and disciplinary measures related to LGBT-identifying and LGBT-practicing Christians. Conference delegates are expected to pass additional pro-LGBT measures before the conference ends on Friday.

Methodists who oppose the UMC’s progressive trend began breaking away from the denomination several years ago, starting the Global Methodist Church or remaining independent. Thousands of Methodist congregations have already joined the ranks of the Global Methodist body.

The pro-LGBT affirming vote is representative of the split, as most conservative Methodists chose not to attend the conference. (Read more from “Second-Largest Protestant Denomination in U.S. Votes to Allow LGBT Clergy” HERE)

Biden FDA to Drop Ban on Sperm Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men

/1 Comment/in , /by

The FDA is set to axe its ban on gay and bisexual men donating sperm, it has been revealed.

Under the current rule, men who have had sex with men within the last five years are blocked from anonymously donating sperm amid fears of HIV infection.

But the agency is now seeking to scrap the blanket ban, and replace it with screening questions that assess a donor’s risk of carrying HIV or other infections. . .

The Wall Street Journal revealed the news, and said the FDA was planning to finalize its proposal by the summer. If approved by the White House, it could go into effect before the end of this year. . .

The shift comes the year after the FDA permitted gay and bisexual men to give blood – after a long ban due to concerns about HIV. (Read more from “Biden FDA to Drop Ban on Sperm Donations From Gay and Bisexual Men” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than one in five Generation Z adults now identify as LGBT, new data shows, including nearly 30% of Gen Z women.

About 22% of young adults who were aged 18 to 26 last year self-identify as LGBT, according to a poll released Wednesday by Gallup.

This is higher than the nearly one in 10 millennials — those aged 27 to 42 — who identify as LGBT, and even higher than the 5% of Generation X, 2% of baby boomers, and 1% of the Silent Generation who identify as such.

“Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+,” reads the report.

Meanwhile, the general population of adults who identify as LGBT hit 7.6% last year, an all-time high, while 85.6% say they are straight or heterosexual. (Read more from “Nearly 30% of Gen Z Women Identify as LGBT: Gallup Poll” HERE)

STEM Students Troll Woke LGBT Survey — Researchers Blame ‘Rise of Online Fascism’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Academic researchers reacted with horror when college students submitted irreverent responses to the researchers’ LGBT survey.

Academics from Oregon State University wrote they were shocked to receive sarcastic and offensive responses to a survey as part of their research into undergraduate LGBT students in STEM fields.

Out of 349 total survey responses, 50 — or about 15% — were from “malicious respondents” and contained “slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team,” the researchers said.

One “malicious” responder said his gender was “aerosol,” his race was “Afro/Klingon-Asiatic Galapogayation,” and his disability was “being 2.86% white.”

Another said his gender was “airplane,” his race was “Native American (Elizabeth Warren),” and his disability was “transgenderism.” (Read more from “STEM Students Troll Woke LGBT Survey — Researchers Blame ‘Rise of Online Fascism’” HERE)

Forty Percent of Brown University Students Say They Are LGBT, Suggesting Social Contagion

/0 Comments/in , /by

New survey data from Brown University’s student newspaper provides further evidence that the increase in LGBT identification is driven by social pressures.

The latest data show that between 2010 and 2023, identification as LGBTQ+ has almost tripled among the student body at Brown (from 14% in 2010 saying they were not heterosexual to 38% now). “The Herald’s Spring 2023 poll found that 38% of students do not identify as straight — over five times the national rate ,” The Brown Daily Herald reported . “Over the past decade, LGBTQ+ identification has increased across the nation, with especially sharp growth at Brown.”

Other sexual orientations have seen massive increases. “Since Fall 2010, Brown’s LGBTQ+ population has expanded considerably. The gay or lesbian population has increased by 26% and the percentage of students identifying as bisexual has increased by 232%,” the student newspaper reported. “Students identifying as other sexual orientations within the LGBTQ+ community have increased by 793%.”

The idea of LGBT identification as a social contagion is one that continues to draw criticism among academics. For example, the head of an academic journal that published a paper that supported the theory of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria faced a cancellation attempt, along with the Northwestern University professor who wrote the paper.

War on Christianity: Biden Admin Used Pride Month to Plaster Christian Countries With Pride Flags, but Not Muslim Ones

/0 Comments/in , /by

During pride month, the Biden Administration took the opportunity to place pride flags at several embassies in overwhelmingly Christian countries, but not in Muslim majority states.

A list compiled by the Daily Caller revealed a Biden Administration trend to place pride flags at U.S. embassies in numerous Christian-majority states, including explicitly Christian countries like Vatican City. Biden’s diplomats and officials have made it a mission to spread pro-LGBTQ ideology in western countries from Hungary, to Greece, to the United Kingdom, to Haiti, and even to Japan.

David Pressman, the United States ambassador to Hungary, in a speech this June criticized Hungary for its anti-LGBTQ policies, rhetoric, and “hate.” The Hungarian parliament has taken several steps over the past five years to define itself and its policies as Christian, which includes a legal definition of traditional family. President Joe Biden has attempted to isolate the country as a result of Hungary’s hostilities to liberalization, which includes LGBTQ activism.

However, the administration’s push for an LGBTQ agenda is heavily concentrated in western, developed countries. It conveniently leaves out places where Muslims, not Christians, are in the majority.

In majority Muslim nations in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, the pride flag is rarely seen at U.S. embassies. One exception in the region, however, is the state of Israel, which is majority Jewish.
