Dear John,

I confess, I read this headline at least three times to figure out its meaning: “UK: Trans ‘Man’ with ‘Non-Binary’ Partner Gives Birth Using ‘Female’ Sperm Donor.”

The article then “clarified”: A female-to-male trans “man” and their “non-binary” partner have had a baby in Brighton, England—assisted by a trans doctor and a male-to-female trans “woman” sperm donor (Breitbart, 12/29/19).

Over 40 words to say how a baby came into the world! And though you—as I did—may have figured it out, I wager we will never understand it. As you can see, traditional views of sexuality—and even parentage—are being twisted in our culture more and more. And those who hold those views—that’s you and me—are being targeted, intimidated and silenced for speaking out.

That’s why Family Policy Alliance—representing pastors, policy advocates, statesmen and business leaders across the nation—is working in alliance as your voice in state capitals, Washington, D.C., and the public square.

And that’s why, as we head into this critical 2020 election, I am asking for your support now more than ever. Your financial gift today will enable us to stand for family values in legislatures across America and work to elect pro-family leaders to stand with us this November! It’s that simple. As simple as it is to understand that it takes a man and a woman, made one with a portion of the Holy Spirit (Mal. 2:15), to make a baby.

You may say, “Paul, that headline is from England. How does that affect me and my family here?” Fair question. A recent NBC online post proclaimed, “A Very LGBTQ Decade: Gay Marriage, Trans Rights and a ‘Rainbow Wave.’ ” The post extolled the LGBTQ “gains” made in such a short time. So, here are just a few examples about how this ideology affects you, your children and grandchildren—right here at home: 

• “Don’t tell your parents!” Teachers across the nation are being told to withhold information from parents about required sexually explicit books and classroom discussions about normalizing transgender identity and behavior. 

• Or, a girl in middle school being told that a boy—who feels like he is a girl—is allowed to change for PE class in the girl’s locker room, and if the girl didn’t like it, she had to change in the nurse’s office. Rightly outraged, the girl’s parents moved her to a nearby traditional private school. But what about the kids who don’t have that opportunity? (By the way, this is just one reason—along with avoiding liberal indoctrination—why Family Policy Alliance fights so hard for school choice across the nation.) 

• And further, more and more trans “women” (men who say they are women) are competing in women’s sports and winning! So much for women’s rights! 

In fact, we were introduced to a courageous high school student-athlete named Tanner who is a state champion in track. Tanner wasn’t asked first before she was forced to run against a male student who identifies as a female. Tanner beat that biologically male competitor, but she pointed out that at least one girl was prevented from competing because a male was permitted to race against girls—and that this will affect all girls’ and women’s sports. And she’s right.

That’s why Family Policy Alliance and our policy allies are working in multiple states to ensure biological boys cannot compete against girls in girls’ sports, and vice versa. We’re also working on the ground and behind the scenes to ensure schools are protected when they enforce fair competition through boys’ and girls’ sports teams.

So, what are we to do? In these times, I am forever drawn to our theme verse at Family Policy Alliance, “the people, who know their God, shall stand firm and take action” (Dan. 11:32b). Here’s what you can do by joining together with us: 

• Give so that we can stand for parents’ rights, fair competition in girls’ and boys’ sports and school choice—so that parents (not the government) can determine the best educational option (including what is taught about sexuality) for their children. 
• Introduce Family Policy Alliance to your pastor, to your fellowship groups and professional organizations so that we can spread the word. Christians cannot stay silent and expect our culture to improve.
• Support our efforts for the upcoming, critical 2020 election—from targeting state races to important U.S. House and Senate races, all elections are local.
• Most importantly, pray for our nation, for our leaders, for our ministry and the vision that God has given us: for a nation where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive and life is cherished.
• Lastly, don’t lose hope. Our God can do anything, but He expects obedience from us. 

John, with your generous support today, we can make a difference—together! Thank you in advance for your support of protecting our children and grandchildren from this radical, damaging transgender agenda.

Standing for the family of believers,

Paul Weber

President & CEO

P.S. – John, your continued support in 2020 will help us protect parents’ rights and fair competition in girls’ and boys’ sports, advance school choice and elect pro-family leaders. Please stand with us today!
