Dear Colleague,

We all condemn unjust discrimination against those who identify as homosexual or transgender. We firmly condemn all forms of violence against them. However, a new bill that has passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives will go far beyond this. The Global Equality Act will allow the federal government broad latitude to ban U.S. entry to those who criticize or otherwise campaign for Biblical values when it comes to homosexuality and transgenderism. Protections of homosexuals using human rights language is already part of U.S. law in the Magnitsky Act. Rebecca Oas, Ph.D. analyzes this thorny issue.

Quite astoundingly the UN envoy against the buying and selling of children has come out strongly in favor of buying and selling of children in utero. Stefano Gennarini, J.D. reports.

Let me just pat my staff on the back one more time. No one gets these stories as they do. I dare to say neither of these stories will be reported until after we break the news. So, help our cause. Please go to www.c-fam.org/donate and give to support independent journalism at the UN.

I am giving a talk on the evening of October 3 to the annual gala of the Family Institute of Connecticut led by my dear friend Peter Wolfgang. If you are in Connecticut or anywhere nearby, come to the dinner! I will be signing books afterward! Here is the link to register for information and registration. Come and say hello!

Spread the word. Be daring. Keep the faith.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse
President
