Op-ed: The Sexual Revolution – reaping and sowing

June is gone now, and with it its celebration of sexual chaos, confusion, and perversity. Another example of how the radical left destroys: Look how a large majority of Americans count the days for an entire month to be gone instead of enjoying its summery bliss as in days of old.

Every June now, we watch the '60s sexual revolution's horrors advance in perpetual motion, in real time, only to wonder when and how it will stop. To what depths can this depravity sink?

Once you knock down the biblical sexual mores framed by God, as we knocked them down in the 1960s, not only will you have severe consequences; you will have consequences that no one dreamed possible.

Consequences like these:

A recent video of sexual anarchists in a homosexual parade in New York City, caught the paradors chanting, "We're here, we're queer; we're coming for your children!"

Also at a gay pride event in New York City several weeks ago, topless women were kissing each other, and, according to the article I read, were "frolicking with children."

Seattle, Wash., also finished off Pride Month with a parade consisting of men--given over to reprobate mind (Romans 1)--riding on bicycles, completely naked, and in full view and close proximity of children.

Have you caught the common theme of these consequences? Yes: children.

The indoctrination of children occurs also outside of the June pride events; it is quite ubiquitous and closer to home than you might think.

Also in Parkersburg, the Shriners hosted a drag queen event where parents (who should be put in jail) brought their children for an afternoon of family entertainment.

Common theme still? Correct. Children.

According to Abigail Shrier in her new freight-train of a book called "Irreversible Damage," young girls are being seduced into transgender indoctrination and the nightmares that follow. Shrier says, "But [the American family] finds itself in a society that increasingly regards parents as obstacles, bigots, and dupes . . . Peers and therapists and [radical] teachers and internet heroes egg these girls on …"

Then there is the comprehensive, brutal savagery of the transgender transitioning: surgeries, puberty blockers, hormone therapy, etc. The evils in detail are described well in Shrier's book, but also in a descriptive article in American Thinker by Robyn Dolgin called "Transgender Lawsuits Reveal Horrors of Procedures."

And what are the horrors of these surgeries being done to our teenagers and children? "Kayla Lovdahl," the article reads, "now 18 [13 at the time of her surgery], has retained an attorney, who describes what the medical team did to Kayla as "barbaric and cruel;" she, for instance, was never told "that nearly half of trans surgeries result in serious and life-threatening complications."

Lovdahl decided she was a boy at age 11, and was put on puberty blockers (that, well, block puberty) and "powerful male hormone drugs."

These surgeries can and do involve top surgeries (mastectomies), bottom surgeries, and surgeries that create "male body parts" that are attached onto a female (created from the skin of the girl's forearm, leaving a horrendous scar).

"Surgeons spend little to no time," Dolgin says, "explaining the possibility of complicated infections, enduring difficulty in urinating or destroying hopes of physical intimacy. And the consequences of multiple incisions altering a complex network of tissues, nerves, and muscles."

A big leap, you might say, connecting the '60s sexual revolution to this. I say, not at all. Had we never pushed down the wall of protection of God's sexual laws, we would never have run headlong into the nightmare in which we find ourselves.

Happily, mercifully, there is, however, a Great Physician, who can heal all of our wounds, our sin, and our pain: if we simply run to his arms . . . like children: Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
