Begging his mother for acceptance. . .

In a heart-wrenching moment, an 11-year-old biological boy looked up at his mother while appearing on Dateline NBC as a “girl” with long blonde hair that his mother was braiding. Below is the conversation:

The mother asks, “But on the inside where nobody else can see, are you a boy or are you a girl?”

Joey “Josie” Romero responds, “Maybe I’m a boy inside and a girl outside.”

“Really?” Joey’s mom asks. “So, if you wanted to grow up and be a man, would you tell me?”

“Nnnn … yeah.”

After Joey’s mom reassures the child, Joey says, “I want to be … sometimes I think I’m a boy sort of, but I want to be a girl. Would you love me if I’m a boy?” he questions his mom.

How much of this confusion is a child seeking the approval of their confused parents or peers? The Equality Act would force this social contagion — these lies — into our churches, daycares, schools, businesses, bathrooms, and homes!

If the “Equality Act” becomes law, it will force everyone to comply with the damaging LGBTQ and abortion agenda. We MUST stop HR 15! Every legislator must hear from you now! Demand they block this with your immediate faxes!

After Joey expressed these real doubts to his mom for the first time on camera, he looks up and says, “You look like you’re about to cry.” This child instantly knew that his response — that inside he feels like a boy — saddened his agenda-driven mom.

What the camera fails to reveal was that his mom, Vanessa, who, apparently changed her name to Sage, had already spent several years on the speakers bureau for TransYouth Family Allies. She also received a degree in psychology that same year with the goal of launching her career in the LGBT field. “I aspire to work with LGBT youth at the crisis intervention level,” she says on her LinkedIn profile.

And, thanks to Joey, his mother was now launched into the national spotlight in the very career she wanted to pursue in the same year she graduated. That’s a lot of adult pressure to put on a child.

“You’re so nervous,” Vanessa tells Joey in the nationally televised interview.

Children are becoming props for this radical agenda at an alarming rate and with disastrous results! Later, Joey’s mom asks, “What if I said, ‘Oh, please DON’T be a girl?’” Joey pops off, “Well, I guess I would be a boy.” “No!” his mother instantly corrects him.

Later, Joey claims on camera that he never doubted or changed his mind. They went ahead with hormone blockers when he was just 11 years old without regard for his tearful grimacing while having what appears like a small fuse-shaped object inserted into his arm.

The Equality Act could force parents in every state to ignore the tears of their child and allow transgender surgery for minors. This could cause irreversible harm, sterility, and even more hardships for people like Joey. We can’t let them succeed. We must stop this child abuse.

This bill says even a “perceived” slight against anything LGBTQ could trigger several lawsuits for a Christian doctor declining to provide this type of surgery and these drugs, or a counselor giving other options, or a church unwilling to expose children in their daycare to this confusion.

We need to STOP THIS BILL! Make your voice heard on Capitol Hill to block the Equality Act.

Imagine being a lifeguard who sees someone drowning and wants to help. But when you try to help, you are prevented from entering the water to save the desperate person. HR 15 will prevent parents from helping confused children. It will also prevent counselors from helping them.

This is what some professional religious counselors shared with me to explain the intensity of their feelings about what they are seeing. I am working across the nation to help restore and protect their freedom to help kids. These kids, and adults, need help.

If the LGBTQ lobbyists get their way, the truth will be hidden so deeply from these children being confused and abused that they will never know they can be set free, find hope, and accept who they really are, not go under the knife to seek approval from others.

HR 15 will expand this social contagion and harm children and families.

Liberty Counsel Action is leading grassroots opposition to this dangerous bill. We need your help to continue fighting this battle. We were the first voice alerting the public to this threat when it was first introduced years ago, and we will keep fighting as long as we have the resources we need to continue educating our legislators on Capitol Hill.

Please do not just read this email and think someone else will act. We need you to pray and act NOW.

Your financial support allows us to be on the front lines of the battle for the heart and soul of our nation. Support Liberty Counsel Action today.

I encourage you to pray Isaiah 59:19 for our nation: “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”

I invite you to raise a standard to help protect children like Joey. Your help is desperately needed right now.
