Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

A Virginia elementary school gym teacher was suspended because he refuses to lie to the kids — he knows that boys are not girls and girls are not boys. But that truth nearly got him fired.
If HR 15 passes, this insanity will become law EVERYWHERE in America, and this nonsense will become commonplace. Your church, your Christian school, and even you and your family will be forced to accept and promote the entire LGBTQ agenda or face punishment.
We must stop HR 15 before it destroys our children and grandchildren, our religious freedom, and our nation!
Take a moment to fax Congress. There is extreme pressure on members of Congress to pass the “Equality Act.” — Your Faith & Liberty team
A physical education teacher in Virginia, Bryon “Tanner” Cross, was put on leave for refusing to tell elementary kids that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.
The Loudoun County school board approved the “Rights of Transgender and Gender-Expansive Students” policy, which even allowed boys to use girls’ restrooms.
“I love all of my students, but I will never lie to them regardless of the consequences,” Cross told the board. “I’m a teacher, but I serve God first, and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa because it's against my religion. It's lying to a child, it's abuse to a child, and it's sinning against our God.”
Cross went on to cite studies showing that many who take opposite-sex hormones and undergo surgery to remove healthy body parts do not fully understand the consequences of their actions. He cited a recent study detailing 30 young people who “felt led astray because of lack of pushback or how easy it was to make physical changes to their bodies.” He said they are now trying to undo the damage they did to their bodies.
“It's not my intention to hurt anyone,” Cross continued, “but there are certain truths that we must face when ready. We condemn school policies [that] would damage children [or] defile the holy image of God.”
Refusing to lie, Tanner Cross was suspended and put on indefinite leave … because he refused to lie to his students.
While a court ruled that Tanner was able to return to work, if the Equality Act is passed, there would be a vastly different outcome. Under this bill, Tanner could have been sued by the school, the student(s), and the government! We must flood Congress with faxes and petitions to demand they STOP the Equality Act!
Remember Bradley “Chelsea” Manning, the biological male who exposed more than 700,000 classified documents? Manning was court-martialed and sentenced to 35 years in prison — until Obama commuted his sentence.
Manning’s mental instability was obvious — a man pretending to be a woman. Manning will now be entitled to military medical care.
And if HR 15 passes, people like Manning will be untouchable, even if they just “perceive” that there might be discrimination. HR 15 abolishes objective reality. Urge Congress to block the Equality Act.
Canadian father Rob Hoogland’s daughter became confused after her school began teaching children that they could be a boy, girl, both, or neither. Rob refused to call his daughter a boy, objected to giving her hormone-blocking drugs and opposite-sex hormones, and would not pay for mutilating surgery.
Then LGBTQ forces closed ranks, using the legal system to deny Rob his parental rights, as they, effectively, stole his daughter.
After having spent weeks in jail, Rob Hoogland was sentenced to six months in prison and 30,000 dollars in fines for refusing to tell his confused daughter a lie.
If HR 15 passes, generations of children will be caught in the LGBT and Q lobby’s deadly game — and adults, including their own parents, will be punished if they intervene.
The Equality Act elevates sexual deviancy to a protected class against which no one will be able to object. As Cross and Hoogland found out, refusing to lie to children, or even using the biologically correct pronoun for one’s own daughter, can result in government persecution!
We must stop HR 15 before it destroys an entire generation of children. Fax Congress NOW!
