When Parents Push Back Against Transanity
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   06.18.18
We’ve been saying for years that there will be a pushback against LGBTQ extremism. And it’s not because people are uncaring. Or intolerant. Or bigoted. Or unfair. Instead, the pushback comes as a rational reaction to the rising tide of transanity.
How LGBT Activism Works, Illustrated in Front Of Our Eyes
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   06.14.18
image_pdfimage_print It starts with one outraged person. Then, the outrage gets reported. Next, it becomes a story. Then it becomes a cause. It’s happening today, right in front of our eyes. Earlier this week I reported how YouTube had come under...
Which Is the Smallest and Most Rejected Minority in America?
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   05.11.18
image_pdfimage_printHow would you answer this question? Which group is the smallest, most rejected minority in our country? African Americans have certainly suffered terribly through our history. But they are not the smallest minority today, making up roughly 12 percent of...
When Christian Conservatives Are Compared to the 9/11 Terrorists
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   04.27.18
image_pdfimage_printYou may have thought I was overstating things in my recent article, “Will California Go from Banning Religious Books to Burning Them?” You may have thought I was exaggerating when I referenced LGBT activists who compared Christian conservatives to ISIS...
Free Speech: Use It or Lose It
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   04.20.18
For many years I’ve said that, when it comes to America, I’m more concerned with the absence of light than with the presence of darkness. In the same way, I’m more concerned with our failure to speak freely than with those who are trying to silence us.
When a Man Set the Record for the Fastest Marathon Run by a Woman
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   04.11.18
image_pdfimage_printIf our world survives a few more generations, historians will doubtless look back at our current era and ask, “Was there something in the water? Something in the air? How is it that an entire society went mad at the...
Are People Born Transgender?
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   03.21.18
image_pdfimage_printTwo recent headlines proclaim, “Transgender people are born that way, a new study has found,” and “Scientists uncover 20 genes linked to being transgender – supporting claims the condition has a physical basis.” What are we to make of this?...
The Left Really Is Trying to Silence Us
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   03.05.18
image_pdfimage_printMaybe you once thought that the left wanted tolerance and diversity, but in reality, tolerance and diversity have never been the goals of the left, especially the radical left. Instead, it wants to suppress and silence opposing views, and the...
What’s the Difference Between Transgender, Transabled, Transracial, Transspecies and Transage?
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   02.03.18
If it is far from ideal to mutilate healthy body parts to accommodate someone who identifies as transabled, then it is far from ideal to do the same for someone who identifies as transgender.
Why the Masterpiece Cake Case Matters to All Americans
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   12.04.17
Should a gay baker be required by law to design a cake with the message, “God hates fags”? Should an African American t-shirt maker be required by law to design a t-shirt saying, “Long live the KKK?” Should a Muslim caterer be required by law to provide pork for a secular event? Should a Jewish photographer be required to shoot a wedding on the Sabbath? The answer to all these questions is: Of course not. Why, then, should a Christian baker be required by law to design a cake celebrating the “wedding” of two women (or men)?
Pushing Back Against Transanity in the Sports World
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   10.23.17
image_pdfimage_printEvery so often, there is a moment of sanity that pushes back against transgender activism in the sports world, although the reaction to the sane decision is often anything but sane. And so it happened in Australia, where, “A male-female...
No, God Did Not Prescribe the Use of Cannabis in the Bible
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   09.26.17
image_pdfimage_printJust when you think you’ve heard it all, a pastor calls your radio show asking how to respond to a congregant who claims that cannabis was sanctioned by God in the Torah. That’s right, sanctioned by the Lord Himself, not...
The Media’s Glaring Double Standards on Violence and Hate
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   08.21.17
When protestors pulled down a Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina, NPR reported that they were chanting, "No KKK, No Fascist USA." Actually, they were chanting, "No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA!" Why did NPR omit "No cops"?
From ‘Lassie to ‘Game of Thrones’: What Has Become of America?
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   07.15.17
America was very far from perfect in the early 1960s. In much of the nation segregation was the law of the land and women certainly had far less opportunities than men, just to mention two of society’s inequities. And I’m quite aware the first issue of Playboy, featuring Marilyn Monroe in the nude, was published in 1953. At the same time, there’s no denying that America back then was a far more innocent, family friendly country than it is today.
