Gays Against Groomers: A Sane Voice Amidst Shouting Over LGBTQ+

The controversy over LGBTQ+ has been getting louder and louder - especially now that Pride Month is upon us. You've undoubtedly heard news about Budweiser, Target and Disney and the backlash they've received for indulging in LGBTQ+ marketing. Unfortunately, the voices have gotten so loud that no one is listening to each other anymore. Today's guest, Chris Barrett, is the Co-Director of Chapters, Gays Against Groomers and Missouri Chapter Lead. Gays Against Groomers is a 501(c)4 organization of gay people who oppose the recent trend of indoctrinating, sexualizing and medicalizing children under the guise of “LGBTQIA+” It is one of the few sane voices in this heated irrational debate. Gays Against Groomers has existed for over a year now and it has chapters all over America and internationally. They describe their reason for existing as: Our community that once preached love and acceptance of others has been hijacked by radical activists who are now pushing extreme concepts onto society, specifically targeting children in recent years. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Carole is very concerned about the propaganda being fed to children to convince them that they are some other sex than they were born as. She says that it is one thing for a child to authentically come to the realization that they are gay or some other identity of sex or gender. But, to be convinced by teachers or activists that they should be something else, before they are old enough to understand what that even means, is child abuse. Kids are lost these days - after the lockdowns took them away from their peers - and with the world at large being an existential mess. So, they are vulnerable to people who tell them that if they become trans, or anything other than their biological sex, they will feel like they belong and life will be rosy. But, when they go along with this - and get hormones and surgeries - they sadly discover that the grass isn't greener and their life isn't happier, after all. Chris Barrett will also speak about The Detrans Care Initiative. During the month of June, 50% of all donations to Gays Against Groomers will go towards detransitioners that were medicalized as youth to assist with the care and healing they need.
