Boy Wins Girls’ Irish Dance Competition for Third Consecutive Year

LGBT, ,

Concerned Women for America reports a teenage boy has won a girls’ Irish dance competition for the third year in a row, taking the top spot from female competitors and earning a chance to compete as a girl at the Irish Dance World Championships this spring.

The same boy first won a girls’ competition in 2023 at age 12 in Dallas, Texas. His victory sparked international controversy when he placed 20th at the World Championships in Scotland, taking a medal spot that would have gone to a female competitor.

Letting boys compete in girls’ sports reverses 50 years of advancements for women and effectively erases women’s athletics.

Female swimmers, powerlifters, cyclists, sprinters, volleyball players, and others have seen their sports radically changed by men who claim to be women. In some sports, it can even be dangerous.

Concerned Women for America reports that more than 1,900 male athletes who claim to be female have taken first place medals away from women and girls.

Most Americans agree that athletes should compete according to their biological sex — not their gender identity.

Fortunately, Arkansas has taken steps to protect fairness in women’s sports.

In 2021, Arkansas passed Act 461 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) preventing male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. This good law protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.

Earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order protecting fairness in women’s sports under federal law. Since then, athletic programs around the country have taken steps to keep men out of women’s sports. The International Olympic Committee recently announced it is considering a policy that would keep biological males out of women’s Olympic events.

It is essential for parents, coaches, athletic organizations, and policymakers to stand up for fairness in women’s sports. That is something Family Council is committed to doing.

Study Reveals Shocking Truth About Children’s Programming on Netflix

LGBT, ,

A new study from Concerned Women for America shows that over 41% of children’s shows on Netflix contain LGBT content.

The comprehensive analysis shows how the streaming giant is pushing adult themes on young viewers. The study found that while less than 10% of the overall population identifies as LGBT, 41% of G-rated series and 41% of TV-Y7-rated series on Netflix include LGBT characters, themes, or messaging. Even shows rated TV-Y for the youngest children contained pro-LGBT content 21% of the time.

The study also revealed a troubling pattern of “updating” popular children’s shows like “The Baby-Sitter’s Club,” and “She-Ra” with LGBT characters in reboots and later seasons.

All of this underscores why parents must pay attention to what their children see online and on television. Netflix can push harmful material and pro-LGBT content to children at home — often without parents realizing it. If consumers demand more appropriate entertainment, Netflix and other companies might be willing to deliver it.

Customers Cry Fowl Over Chick-fil-A’s Same-Sex Marriage Message

LGBT, , ,

A Utah Chick-fil-A franchise recently posted photos celebrating a same-sex marriage, sparking backlash from customers.

The Washington Stand reports the restaurant posted images of two men with the caption “CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HAPPY COUPLE!” The post has since been removed.

This incident highlights ongoing problems with Chick-fil-A’s corporate direction and leadership.

While companies like Walmart, Target, Toyota, John Deere, Tractor Supply, Harley Davidson, and Lowe’s, as well as major financial institutions have rolled back pro-LGBT and DEI policies in response to consumer backlash, Chick-fil-A continues moving in the opposite direction.

The restaurant chain still employs a vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It quietly renamed its DEI program “Better at Together,” but it continues to promote the same DEI principles.

It’s obvious that consumers are tired of pro-LGBT pandering by Corporate America. In 2023, Bud Light managed to single-handedly overthrow itself as the number-one beer in America after sending transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney a novelty can of Bud Light with Mulvaney’s picture on it. Target has quietly replaced its LGBT Pride merchandise, and entertainment giants like Pixar and Disney have removed pro-LGBT elements from their storylines.

Pro-LGBT and DEI initiatives promote flawed ideologies that do not ensure individuals are valued, heard, or included. Employees who hold Biblical views of marriage or gender risk losing their jobs in workplaces that have adopted DEI policies. None of that is good for our economy or our country.

Chick-fil-A would do well to learn from other corporations’ mistakes and abandon its pro-LGBT pandering.
