An LGBTQ choir at King Charles III’s coronation (and other stories)
A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

From the Christian Institute, utterly unsurprising: “‘Scottish Labour pushed its MSPs to vote for gender self-ID Bill against their conscience.’” That’s backfiring as the consequences of their delusions are already forcing them to backtrack, with Nicola Sturgeon stuttering as she’s asked whether a brawny male rapist is actually a woman—something critics told her would happen roughly fifteen minutes ago.

Paul Erlich, author of The Population Bomb, has been getting everything wrong for decades. He once stated that overpopulation was such a threat that large families should be demonized, and he hasn’t retracted his positions in the face of a demographic implosion undermining the West—not to mention other nations such as China and Japan. But still, media outlets trot him out to peddle his nonsense. Paul Tuns has a good response to his latest appearance: “Here we go again.”

The coronation celebrations of King Charles III will feature a LGBTQ choir which, considering Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby’s commitment to same-sex “marriage,” is not particularly surprising—although it does underline what I wrote when Queen Elizabeth II passed away—that her reign was the afterglow of Christian civilization.

My hands are soft through lack of doing what anything that my grandfather might have referred to as “real work.” And the challenge this poses for me is: Who are truly my brother and my sister? When the line is finally drawn, on which side will I stand? With the people who belong to my class or the people who belong to my church?

So this has happened yet again. From The Blaze: “Ohio transsexual charged with indecent exposure after allegedly brandishing his manhood in women’s locker room with girls present.” Reality sure is transphobic sometimes.

This, from Nate Hochman at National Review, makes a very important point: “The False Promise of Transgender Centrism.” We cannot parlay with those who want to destroy society as we know it. The transgender debate is, in many ways, a zero sum game.
