Quote of the Day
“Maura Healey APPOINTS biological MAN to State Commissioner of prominent state-funded "women's rights" organization! Is this a Babylon Bee headline? No, in fact, this is the logical conclusion of feminism in Massachusetts society. Feminism suggests that women can do anything men can do. If this is true, then there is basically no difference between the sexes. If there no distinction between male and female, then why can't a woman become a man, or vice versa? If men and women are basically the same, then this man, Giselle Byrd, is perfectly justified in wearing the female form like a Halloween costume. Our state thought that when we threw God out of the public square, we would become more sophisticated and advanced. Instead, we bought a regressive lie mascaraeding as progressive truth. Massachusetts has rejected God's perfect design for marriage and sexuality. This is the sad result.”
