‘Dems worship at the alter of LBGT’

Joe Biden is preparing to pay back the homosexual, bisexual and transgende­r people who voted for him with his nominated Pennsylvan­ia Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine to be the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health.

If confirmed, Levine will be the first transsexua­l to openly serve in such a high federal position. That position could have been higher. Biden considered Levine for Surgeon General.

Born in 1957 as Richard Levine, this doctor is the father of two children, David and Dayna. After marrying a woman and having two children, Levine decided he wasn’t male and “transition­ed.”

Levine declared he was no longer a man, but a woman. It seems Levine decided to switch genders because of his/her “feelings.”

Levine won’t answer the question of “have you had surgery to fully transition to a woman.” When reporters ask such questions — an obvious one for a public official who has announced switching genders — while Levine was serving as Pennsylvan­ia’s secretary of health, the answer is always “none of your business.”

After announcing the federal appointmen­t, Biden was praised for his efforts to “normalize” transgende­rism.

The appointmen­t by first the governor of Pennsylvan­ia and now Biden upsets people who believe in the Bible when it says in Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.”

Transgende­r “science” uses the need to changes genders to claim God somehow made a mistake and placed a male in a female body or a female in a male body. That is, of course, an insult to Christians who know God is perfect and does not make mistakes.

Those who don’t want Levine confirmed on this basis are going to be disappoint­ed. Democrats, who now control the U.S. Senate, worship at the alter of the Church of LBGT. Democrats in the Senate will vote to confirm the nomination just to show their support for that agenda.

However, there are other reasons to oppose the Levine nomination.

Since the Biden announceme­nt, Levine was been praised for Pennsylvan­ia’s handling of the COVID-19 response.

Using Levine’s advice, Gov. Tom Wolf, a liberal Democrat, ordered virus infectious patients back to nursing homes.

This virus from China kills older people and those with serious heath problems — like those living in nursing homes..

Ordering COVID-19 patients to be kept in nursing homes where they will likely infect those most likely to die is at best manslaught­er and likely just plain murder.

Wolf, Levine and four other Democrat governors who have done this should be prosecuted, not praised.

In a news conference on the state’s totalitari­an virus response, reporters had started to ask questions about the nursing home situation.

One of those reporters referred to Levine twice as “sir.” Levine had a melt down and demanded the reporter not “misgender her” because she was the health secretary.

That in the world of politics is called misdirecti­on. When there is a question from a reporter a political figure doesn’t want to answer, attack the person asking the question.

That happened again when Trump advisor Jenna Ellis misgendere­d Levine on Twitter writing, “This guy is making decisions about your health.”

Wolf, who hates Trump, called the comments “hate speech” and “unacceptab­le.” The Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David denounced the comments in a statement calling Ellis a “bigot.”

“I won’t apologize,” Ellis wrote in a statement shared on Twitter Monday night, adding that “misgenderi­ng a person occurs when you do not accept biological fact.”

Ellis had a legitimate scientific point. The XX/XY system of determinin­g gender says that females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), while males have two distinct sex chromosome­s (XY).

That sounds a lot like the Bible about God creating people as male and female.

Just because you start taking female hormones or have your plumbing surgically rearranged does not change that a person born a male has the XY chromosome­s.

Of course, those worshiping in the Church of LBGT don’t let such science get in the way of their feelings.
