Biden Signs Trojan Horse Executive Order Taking Aim At
Christians, Time-Honored American Values

President Joe Biden signed an overreaching executive order for “pride month”
on Wednesday that Alliance Defending freedom is warning targets and removes
“fundamental rights with a stroke of his pen.”
Like many other pro-LGBT policies and legislation, the
executive order signed this week acts like a trojan horse cloaked in “equality”
and combatting hateful discrimination while carrying measures aiming to attack
religious liberty and parental rights.
Although the order contains a dozen sections, three
particular points of concern should be examined.
1 — Targeting Conservative Laws That Protect Children
from Abuse
While announcing the order in the White House East Room,
Biden condemned “hateful attacks” from conservative states against LGBT
individuals, referencing bills and laws that seek to protect children, fairness
in sports, and parental rights over children’s education.
“I don’t have to tell you about the ultra MAGA agenda
attacking families and our freedoms. Three hundred discriminatory bills [have
been] introduced in the states across this country,” he accused. “In Texas,
knocking on front doors to harass and investigate parents who are raising
transgender children. In Florida, going after Mickey Mouse, for God’s
sake—that’s striking close to home. All you in this room know better than
anyone that these attacks are real and consequential for real families.”
Wednesday’s executive order claims “LGBTQI+ [Blog
Editor: As a Biblical Christian I have no idea the plethora of alphabet
meanings of Leftist antichrist lettering. If you are curious here’s a Merriam-Webster
definition-acronym summary] children and families in
particular” are being “threatened” by “unrelenting political and legislative
attacks at the State level.”
“These attacks defy our American values of liberty and
dignity, corrode our democracy, and threaten basic personal safety,” the order
reads. “They echo the criminalization that LGBTQI+ people continue to face in
some 70 countries around the world. The Federal Government must defend the
rights and safety of LGBTQI+ individuals.”
Following that statement, under Section two, “Addressing
Harmful and Discriminatory Legislative Attacks on LGBTQI+ Children, Youth, and
Families,” the order instructs the Secretary of the HHS and its
authorities “to protect LGBTQI+ individuals’ access to medically necessary care
from harmful State and local laws and practices…”
The order further tells the Secretary of Education to use
authorities from the Dept. of Education “to support LGBTQI+ students, their
families, educators, and other school personnel targeted by harmful State and
local laws and practices, and shall promote the adoption of promising policies
and practices to support the safety, well-being, and rights of LGBTQI+
students.”
Several states have stepped into the crosshair of the
current administration by passing laws and introducing legislation to combat
sexual/gender manipulation and perversion of minors.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott responded to previous criticism from the White
House in February, underscoring the responsibility of laws to “protect Texas
children from abuse,” specifically life-altering and “abusive [gender
reassignment] procedures.”
Science also concurs with the findings of conservative
states on gender confusion. The American College of Pediatricians recently
released a statement concluding that “adolescents with
gender dysphoria should not be making decisions that lead to permanent,
unnecessary surgeries, mutilation, and infertility,” according to board member Jane Anderson.
The “research show[ed] that adolescents’ brains are not
developed enough to make sound decisions, and this should inform potential
medical and surgical interventions on minors with gender dysphoria because of
their lifelong consequences,” she stressed. “Neuroscientists studying
decision-making have found adolescents are much more likely to rely upon
emotions and peer pressure and less likely to consider future consequences.”
In an interview with Tony Perkins, evangelist Franklin
Graham underscored that children who want to become
“transgender” could not comprehend the path they’re starting down.
“God made us male and female; two men can’t make a child,
two women can’t make a child; it takes a male and a female. That’s the way God
made us and created us,” Rev. Graham asserted. “For someone to come along and
say you can change that if you want… Well, you better talk to God about that
because we’re on very thin ice when we start messing with the way God made us
and created us.”
“What’s happening, we see, is just wicked. To take a child
and try to convince them that they can change and be a girl, they can change
and be a boy, and we can give you drugs, and you can have surgery and all of
these things… a child can’t comprehend that, and once you start down this path
you can’t reverse it. It’s just a wicked thing…” he asserted. “We need to stand
for truth, we need to stand for God’s Word, and we need to stand behind these
legislators and the governors, and others that are willing to sign bills.”
2 — Wheeling In A Trojan Horse ‘Conversion Therapy’ Ban
In section three of this week’s executive order, Biden
directs the Secretary of the HHS to “establish an initiative to reduce the risk
of youth exposure to so-called conversion therapy.”
The order asks the HHS to clarify that agencies that counsel
individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction will not “meet criteria for use
in federally funded health and human services programs.”
It further calls on the HHS to increase “public awareness”
and provide training “to health care and social service providers” regarding
the “dangers of so-called conversion therapy” and fund “trauma-informed
services to better support survivors…”
“The Federal Trade Commission is encouraged to consider
whether so-called conversion therapy constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or
practice, and to issue such consumer warnings or notices as may be
appropriate,” the order states.
Additionally concerning, the order establishes an “action
plan to promote an end to [conversion therapy’s] use around the world.”
“In developing the action plan—to take appropriate steps to
prevent the use of so-called conversion therapy, as well as to help ensure that
United States foreign assistance programs do not use foreign assistance funds
for so-called conversion therapy,” the order continued. “To further critical
data collection, the Secretary of State shall instruct all United States
Embassies and Missions worldwide to submit additional information on the
practice and incidence of so-called conversion therapy as part of the Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices.”
Many Christian leaders, including Ken Ham,
have been sounding the alarm for years against the very thing President Biden’s
executive order addresses: restricting “Conversion Therapy.”
Such bans “pave the way for the bridling of free speech and
the criminalization of those who believe and act on biblical principles,”
Ham explained. “You see, LGBT activists claim that if
you don’t fully embrace, support, and celebrate an LGBT lifestyle or identity,
then that’s hate speech and harming someone because that person is more likely
to commit suicide since you did not affirm them.”
“In their minds and by their flawed logic, those who hold to
the biblical belief that an LGBT identity and lifestyle are sinful are hurting
other people and driving them to suicide; therefore such people (Christians
specifically) don’t deserve to be able to speak their views,” he described.
“Many politicians are viewing this matter now as a civil rights issue—but it’s
not. It’s a moral issue.”
“It’s an outright assault on freedom of religion and speech
and, above all, on biblical truth and the gospel of Jesus Christ (the
only message that truly delivers someone from their slavery to a sinful
identity, if they will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ),” he underscored.
In January, thousands of Pastors across North America stood
up and preached a message on Biblical sexuality in defiance of a new Canadian
“Conversion Therapy” ban that made such sermons illegal. The stated purpose of
this defiance was to “put the Canadian and the U.S. governments on notice that
they have attacked the Word of God.”
It is also worth noting that as Biden’s order seeks to
suppress Biblical truth from reaching gender-confused children and individuals,
it instructs the HHS to “promote expanded access” to “gender-affirming care.”
3 — Stamping Out The Religious Freedom Of
Faith-Based Foster Care & Adoption Agencies
Faith-based foster and adoption agencies have come under
fire for refusing to violate their conscience by placing children in the homes
of individuals who are not Christians (including unmarried and same-sex
couples).
Section five of the executive order establishes an
initiative to “address and eliminate disparities in the child welfare system
experienced by LGBTQI+ children, parents, and caregivers.”
The Biden administration’s initiative will also “prevent the
placement of LGBTQI+ youth in foster and congregate care environments that will
be hostile to their gender identity or sexual orientation.” In other words,
children will be prevented from being placed with families, including Christian
ones, that do not affirm their confusion.
Alliance Defending Freedom Responds to Biden’s ‘Gross
Overreach’
Julie Marie Blake, who serves as senior counsel for Alliance
Defending Freedom, responded to the executive order in a Press Release arguing that it “villainizes and
grossly misrepresents religious Americans and others holding to commonsense
American values and violates their constitutionally and legally protected
freedoms.”
“Every American is protected under the Constitution to
freely live and work according to their religious beliefs, and President Biden
can’t remove those fundamental rights with a stroke of his pen,” she asserted.
“It is a gross overreach of his authority, for example, to
mandate what Christian counselors can say, or not say, in private conversations
with their clients, as is the case with our client Brian
Tingley in Washington state, or demand faith-based foster care
and adoption homes, like our client Holston United Methodist Home for Children in
Tennessee, violate their religious beliefs or lose needed funding to help
children find a forever home,” she said in the Press Release. The government
can’t “stop American citizens from living according to their conscience and
faith.”
“We will continue defending individuals and organizations from this unlawful government violation of their First Amendment and other legal protections,” she concluded.
Speaking The Truth No Matter The Hostility
Isaiah 5:20 warns, “Woe unto them that call
evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
As Answers In Genesis Founder and CEO Ken Ham further explained, Christians must stand firm in speaking
the truth no matter the increased hostility we face in our morally
upside-down Isaiah 5:20 society.
“As believers, we must be prepared to continue sharing
biblical truth regardless of what the culture around us says or threatens.
Teaching God’s Word is not abusive or dangerous—the gospel is the power of God
unto salvation (Romans 1:16),” he urged. “It is the gospel and the
truth of God’s Word, with the power of the Holy Spirit, that free us from our
slavery to sin (Romans 6:6) and makes us a new creation in Christ
Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17).”
“The time is coming when speaking biblical truth regarding
sexuality will be illegal,” he cautioned. “But we must love people enough to
continue to contend for the faith (Jude 1:3),
making disciples (Matthew 28:19), as we do the King’s business until
he returns (Luke 19:13). Are we courageous enough to boldly
state as Peter and the apostles did: ‘We must obey God rather than men’ (Acts 5:29)?”
Biblical Truth Has Become
Scarce...
News organizations have always
had incredible influence over societies; this is especially troubling when the
media, and our world as a whole, have exchanged Biblical truth for corruption,
agenda-driven deception, and moral relativism.
That is why Harbingers Daily has
dedicated itself to reporting and analyzing world events through the lens of

Update: Biden Announces Sweeping Executive Order to
Advance Radical “LGBTQI+” Agenda In Schools – New EO Bans “Conversion Therapy,”
Which Now Includes ‘Suggesting’ That a Child Should Not Undergo Medical
Transition
June 16, 2022 at 9:51pm
It’s 2022 and up is down, the sky is purple, gas
prices are sprinting towards $10, Monkeypox
is bigoted, and now executive orders are being used to groom your kids.
Welcome to hell Joe
Biden’s America.
On Wednesday, Joe Biden announced that he would be signing
another executive order to bolster the left’s radical
gender identity crusade in schools across America.
The sweeping EO will provide funding to the
Department of Education in order to create a new advocacy group that “issues
guidance” on LGBTQI+ policies to “states, school districts, and other
educational institutions,” and also sends resources to the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) that would focus on gender identity affirmation
services for students in the US.
One of the main goals of the new legislation [Blog
Editor: Except it is NOT “legislation” from Congress, rather it is the stroke
of a pen from a Coup Elected Faux-President] will be to expand access to
destructive “gender-affirming” drugs and medical procedures for children
despite mounting
evidence of the severe long-term consequences (sterility, bone
loss, other health issues) and increased
suicide rates among young people who are coerced into
medically transitioning.
Thanks to a few researchers who are finally doing the work
and looking into this issue, the results are becoming crystal clear –
‘gender-affirming care,’ which entails pumping children full of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, is
making the problem measurably worse.
But, it shouldn’t take a scientist or a clinical study to
see that we should not be giving young children, who don’t have the faculties
to make these types of life-altering decisions on their own, drugs that
are used to chemically castrate pedophiles (Lupron, puberty blocker) – let alone giving young, healthy girls’ double mastectomies in
the name of ‘gender affirmation’ – it’s unspeakable what these monsters are doing
to America’s children.
And now, Biden is mandating this poison with a stroke of a
pen.
From the WH announcement and “fact sheet”:
“Today, to mark Pride Month,
President Biden will sign an Executive Order Advancing Equality for LGBTQI+
Individuals…
…Order charges HHS to work
with states to promote expanded access to gender-affirming care…
…[the EO] directs the Department
of Education to establish a new Working Group on LGBTQI+ Students and Families,
which will advance policies for states, school districts, and other
educational institutions to promote safe and inclusive learning
environments in which all students thrive…”
In addition to providing resources to expand the Federal
Governments LGBTQAI+ push, the order would also ban “conversion therapy” –
which is defined by Merriam Webster as: “the use of any of various
methods (such as aversive stimulation or religious counseling) in an attempt to
change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or to change a person’s
gender identity to correspond to the sex the person has.”
However, under the new EO, the definition of “conversion therapy”
was expanded widely. Now, simply suggesting that a
child refrains from undergoing medical procedures to change their gender will
be classified as such, and, therefore, would be effectively outlawed once Biden
signs the order, according to the Post Millennial. Failing to affirm the child’s
gender wishes in any way could result in consequences for school officials,
child counselors, and even medical professionals who receive federal funding of
any sort.
As if the grooming problem in schools wasn’t bad enough
already…
From the Post Millennial:
“It was only recently, during
the Transgender Visibility Day, that Biden told parents
across America to “affirm” their children, meaning that should a child claim to
be what they are not, parents should nod affirmatively and sign them up for
irrevocable courses of medical treatment that will prevent them from living
full lives.
Filled with rhetoric and
emotional flourishes, this new order states that so-called conversion therapy
must be banned across the country, but it warps the language of conversion
therapy to say that for youth who identify as transgender, it would be a
therapeutic conversion to suggest to them that they not alter their healthy
bodies to match their gender dysphoria.
Biden also declares in this
executive order that federally-funded programs cannot offer so-called
‘conversion therapy.'” This means that children who present as transgender must
be affirmed to be transgender and cannot be cautioned off of that course. He intends
to prevent conversation therapy globally with this EO as well.”
Biden’s EO goes directly against state’s rights and
forces the adoption of these unspeakable medical practices and destructive
ideologies nationwide. Several states, such as Texas and Florida, have enacted
laws that protect children from these ‘gender-affirming’ procedures and defend
the reality of biological sex – which is apparently a bridge too far for the
Biden Regime.
According to the WH announcement, this sweeping order comes, in part,
because of “over 300 anti-LGBTQI+ laws” that have been introduced in
Republican-led states “over the past year.” Unbelievably, the “fact sheet” baselessly alleges that these laws
“specifically target” trans children and are effectively a form of “hateful”
bullying on the part of said state legislatures. [Blog Editor: HELLO – Biden
ignoring 10th
Amendment]
However, despite having so many instances of ‘outright
bigotry’ to choose from, no specific examples were provided to back up their
bogus anti-LGBTQI+ claims.
From the WH:
“Over 300 anti-LGBTQI+ laws have
been introduced in state legislatures over the past year, and many of them
specifically target transgender children and their parents by banning access to
medical care and support at school. President Biden is addressing these
harmful, hateful, and discriminatory attacks head-on – not only by speaking up
for America’s families, but taking action to stand up to the bullies targeting
LGBTQI+ people.”
With Biden’s latest EO, it’s official – add ‘grooming’ to
the Build Back Better agenda. [Bold text is Blog Editor’s]
