Leading a global defense of children’s rights and natural marriage. Founder @ThemBeforeUs. Giving you the language to challenge divorce, IVF, and surrogacy.
Children have a right ⁃to life ⁃to their mother & father ⁃to sexual innocence (no sex/gender ideology in school) ⁃to intact bodies (not chemically/surgically mutilated) Their rights are being attacked. Screw your social acceptance. Start defending children.
Same sex marriage has redefined the human child in US law. They used to be subjects born into a pre-political relationship with their own mom and dad. Now they are objects to be acquired by contract. It's not about protecting my marriage. It's about protecting children.
If same-sex marriage is in any way effecting your straight marriage, that is a problem with your marriage, not same-sex marriage.🤨
Everyone says marriage is dying. But here’s the shocker: divorce is too. The U.S. divorce rate just hit a 50-year low. Let’s break down what that means for kids: 🧵

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard a lobbyist, activist, or legislator argue that we need to legalize surrogacy to make it safe, I'd be rich. But that doesn't change the fact that some of the most high-profile abuses have occurred in states with legal surrogacy.
" The tragic case of Zhang and Xuan, a California couple who commissioned 21 children through surrogacy, makes it painfully clear: legal surrogacy doesn’t protect children." @PatienceSunne for our TBU substack open.substack.com/pub/thembefore…
Surrogate babies on the hairy chest of a man do not have this kind of peace.

Home renovation duo @ChipGaines & @JoannaGaines are facing backlash after featuring a gay couple on their latest reality show. Some conservative Christians have called for the Gaineses to "repent," reflecting a pattern certain scholars say is nothing new. julieroys.com/chip-joanna-ga…

The people who need a "fighting chance" are the 97% of lab-made #IVF babies who won't make it through the process alive.

I was 22 when my dad divorced my mom. Complete devastation.
My parent's divorce destroyed me at 8 years old. As a child I often said, my parents hated each other more than they loved me. I know that's simplistic, but that's how children see it.
"I’ve had Catholic friends tell me, lovingly, that they’re praying I’ll “come home to the one true Church.” I’ve smiled and told them, just as lovingly, the veil wasn't torn so I could pray to St. Joseph." Why our differences don't preclude cooperation open.substack.com/pub/thembefore…

BRUTAL- A young girl’s poem about divorce. "So when my mother asks what I want next year, cash is what I’ll say. Because what I really want is something they don’t want to hear.” Remember this the next time you have the urge to say “all kids want is to see their parents happy!”
🏳️🌈 In 2012, a bombshell study threatened to derail the march to gay marriage. It said what no one else would: Kids do best with their mom and dad. They tried to bury it. 10 years later? The evidence is stronger than ever. Here’s what they didn’t want you to know: 🧵
