There is something rotten in the Illinois General Assembly. Dozens of Illinois Democrats are cosponsoring House Bill 1596, titled, “The Children And Family Services Act,” a bill that will expunge every occurrence of the pronouns “he,” “she,” “his,” and “her” from existing laws pertaining to children. Wherever the law formerly stated, “he or she,” or “his or her” it now says, “the minor,” or “the child,” or “the applicant,” or “the member.” And they plan to do this to numerous existing laws.

This bill is now in the Illinois Senate after passing in the Illinois House by a partisan vote of 72 to 37 on March 21st.

It seems that “Progressives” in Illinois will do anything to get away from using gender specific pronouns. What could be the reason for refusing to use pronoun-specific language? It is an attempt to erase the recognition of God’s creation of male and female. You see, out of infinite love, God created us man and woman — to complement each other with our masculinity and femininity. Progressives hate that symbiotically ordered relationship. They love sin and chaos.

Here is the legislative synopsis::

Amends various Acts concerning children by: replacing certain pronouns with the nouns to which the pronouns refer; replacing certain instances of the word “biological”; changing the Independent Juvenile Ombudsman to the Independent Juvenile Ombudsperson; deleting certain obsolete language; and making technical and other changes.

The radical trans agenda has reached a point where even the law of the land that mentions men or women infuriates them. And it doesn’t stop there. In the bill, section (20 ILCS 505/5) (from Ch. 23, par. 5005 3 (e)), the phrase, “biological family” is replaced with “birth family.” Even basic biology is no longer accepted in “progressive” Illinois, to the extent that the word “biological” provokes our legislature.

Friends, when society has gone this mad, it is incumbent upon Christians to stand for the Truth. The explanation for this insanity is simple, the Apostle Paul tells us, “And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (Romans 1:28).

It is irrational to remove gender-specific pronouns from our vocabulary. It is preposterous to cancel biology. And it is not proper for our lawmakers to thrust the transgender agenda down the throats of the people of Illinois. It is time for us to speak out, and call our local state senator and tell him or her that we do not agree with removing gendered pronouns from legislation regarding our children and family. Boys are boys and girls are girls, and that will never change, no matter if a super majority of state lawmakers wish it weren’t so.

Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to your State Senator to urge him or her to vote down HB 1596. You may want to point out that the people of Illinois do not want lawmakers to re-write the English language to accommodate the demands of a group of left-wing ideologues. They have other priorities that demand their attention during this session. Spending time to push legislation that would eliminate pronouns is a non-starter.

Please also contact your state senator by phone during normal business hours via the Capitol switchboard: (217) 782-2000.

Thank you in advance!

On Wednesday May 18, Mayor Rahm Emanuel introduced an amendment to a Chicago human rights ordinance that if passed would make it even easier for men to use women’s restrooms and other facilities in which private activities take place.

On Wednesday June 8, the Chicago City Council’s Human Rights Committee recommended approval by the whole city council. This Wednesday it moves to the full city council for a final vote.

The current ordinance is bad enough in that it allows gender dysphoric men and women to use opposite-sex facilities as long as they can provide falsified government documentation, such as driver’s licenses or passports, identifying them as the sex they are not.

The proposed amendment, also sponsored by members of Chicago’s lesbian, “gay,” “bisexual,” and “transgender” caucus, eliminates the requirement regarding government documentation. The amendment states that “‘sex’” includes both biological category and gender identity. Each person determines his or her own gender identity; no proof shall be required except his or her expression of his or her gender.”

The ordinance applies to restrooms, shower rooms, bathhouses, dressing rooms, health clubs, single-sex “sleeping rooms,” single-sex residential facilities (e.g., women’s shelters), and single-sex classes that are open to the public.

Kim Hunt, executive director of Pride Action Tank, claims that “This is a matter of human dignity and human rights.”

If gender dysphoric men who wish they were women are denied their human dignity and rights if they cannot shower with only women, then are actual women denied their human dignity and rights if they cannot shower with only women?

The Chicago City Council is voting on this dangerous amendment on Wednesday. If the public does not oppose this ordinance change with a loud and unequivocal voice, the city of Chicago will have co-ed restrooms and showers.

The end of sex-segregation everywhere continues apace.

Take Action:  Please take three minutes to look up your local Alderman HERE, then call or email them to express your opposition to this ordinance.
