It’s been a week to forget for surf company Rip Curl, the latest brand to risk consumers’ wrath with a pro-transgender marketing campaign. Its January post urging people to meet “waterwoman” Sasha Lowerson, a biological man in a bikini, lit a literal fire under fans, who took to the internet to burn everything from surf booties to…

Twenty-seven states and Washington, D.C., have banned efforts to change sexual orientation, commonly but mistakenly referred to as “conversion therapy,” for minors on the premise that therapies seeking to mitigate or resolve unwanted same-sex attraction are inherently harmful and increase the risk of suicide. Father Paul Sullins, a Roman Catholic priest, senior research associate at…

Woodrow Wilson, the father of the American administrative state, once wrote: “Government does now whatever experience permits or the times demand.”  Well, the times now “demand” the construction of a massive transgender architecture across the labyrinth of the federal government. Perhaps if Wilson were able to gaze a century into the future and see the…

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Ph.D. biologist Colin Wright is publicly inviting the Southern Poverty Law Center to debate him on the subject of what the SPLC calls “anti-LGBTQ+ pseudoscience,” specifically on the transgender issue.

On Friday, Ohio’s Republican governor, Mike DeWine, issued an “emergency” executive order to ban sex-reassignment surgeries for minors just one week after he vetoed a bill that would have banned those same surgeries and addressed related issues. The General Assembly is expected to begin the process of overriding his veto Wednesday. Why did DeWine sign…

Imagine the government told you what you can and cannot pray for, inside your own head. Such an idea seems better suited to “thoughtcrime” dystopias—such as George Orwell’s “1984” or Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” where the government attempts to control your every thought—rather than to the modern, free English-speaking world. Yet a government in…

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a scandal-plagued far-left smear factory notorious for putting mainstream conservative and Christian organizations on a “hate map” with KKK chapters, released a new report demonizing opposition to gender ideology as “pseudoscience” and a tool of “white supremacy” and “theocracy.” “The controversy over trans health care is manufactured to reinforce both…

As they close in, one attacker shakes his fist and shouts, “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?” Target Corp., the popular American department…

How humiliating and disheartening must it be for a Miss Universe pageant contestant to lose to a “woman” with a penis and testicles? That, regrettably, is not a hypothetical question. That’s exactly what happened to real young women earlier this year in preliminary pageants in two European nations, Portugal and the Netherlands. On Saturday night,…

President Joe Biden spoke Saturday at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual national dinner. Biden said it was his fourth appearance at the annual event, which is billed as “a national gathering for champions of LGBTQ equality.” Although the 80-year-old president rarely makes public appearances before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., he made an exception for his close allies,…

First lady Jill Biden introduced her husband, President Joe Biden as he spoke Saturday at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual national dinner, billed as “a national gathering for champions of LGBTQ equality.” Like a well-planned multi-course meal, Jill Biden prepared the favorable audience for her husband’s truth-lite entrée—which will be analyzed elsewhere—with a complementary appetizer so fanciful it deserves…
