Trans groups have been promoting April 1 as a “Day of Vengeance” for more than a month. On Monday, they got what they wanted. Today we will reveal the timeline of hate, the government official that lauded the shooting of “transphobes,” and the importance of Liberty Counsel’s ongoing fight for counselors and children.

Meanwhile, many local and state governments are trying to ban the lifesaving counsel that uses Christian principles and talk therapy to overcome gender confusion and unwanted same sex desires, thus avoiding the deep depression and sometimes violent psychosis that often accompanies “transgender therapy.” We need YOUR help to win these cases and rescue a generation from madness and violence. Read on. —Mat

Some time on or before February 17, 2023, a group billing itself as the “Trans Radical Activist Network,” aka “TRAN,” announced on its website and social media accounts a “Trans Day of Vengeance.” The group claims that bills protecting children from puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and mutilating surgeries amount to “genocide.”

The TRAN event page prominently features a quote by Sylvia Rivera, “I was a radical revolutionist. I still am a revolutionist … I am glad I was in the Stonewall Riot. I remember when someone threw a Molotov cocktail, I thought, “My god, the revolution is here. The revolution is finally here.”

Antifa-associated “Our Rights DC” and the radical “Struggle for Socialism” picked up the militant call and began promoting the event as well.

On March 3, 2023, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed into law a bill that bans cross-hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and mutilating surgeries for children under 18.

By March 16, the socialist front "WI Bail Out the People Movement" encouraged its members to join the Trans Day of Vengeance event to "Fight back against far-right attacks!"

On March 27, a 28-year-old deranged young woman, who referred to herself as “he/him,” entered a private Christian school she had attended more than a decade before, murdering three children and three adults.

Forty-eight hours after the horrific shooting, “TRAN” quietly updated its event page with the words, “This protest is about unity, not inciting violence. TRAN does not encourage violence and it is not welcome at this event” … although TRAN chose to keep the “Day of Vengeance” moniker for the event.

Not all the LGBTQ camp got the message to “back off” on the violence talk, however. This is a dangerous movement that is harming children and young people. We must fight back to save our children and our freedom.

On the day of the Nashville shooting, before the three murdered 9-year-old children’s bodies were even cold, Twitter user “NoV(1312)” wrote, “If transphobes don’t want to be shot, they can always just stop being transphobes, that’s not very hard.”

The user also wrote, “If you’re trans, shooting a transphobe is self-defense. They want people like me dead."

On March 28, 2023, Josselyn Berry, the “notoriously progressive” press secretary to ultra-liberal Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, apparently agreed that violence is the remedy to people wanting to protect children from life-changing hormone treatments and gender mutilation surgeries.

Just 24 hours after the Tennessee shooting, Berry tweeted a picture of a woman in a defensive stance, guns ready to fire in each hand, adding the statement, “Us when we see transphobes."

Evil is most certainly working on destroying America’s future generations by attacking our children. But we know what always defeats evil — the Word of God and ultimate truth.

The enemy knows it, too — that's why those under his influence are trying to stop children from hearing the truth that can set them free, all while eliminating the truth about the dangers of the trans agenda.

Liberty Counsel has worked for years to defend counselors — specially trained professional Christian counselors who help people free themselves from gender confusion and unwanted same sex behaviors and sexual activities. These counselors have saved countless lives. Yet the radical LGBTQ+ folks want this talk therapy banned. They can’t handle the truth!

GLAAD, the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ activism group, recently sent a demand letter to the New York Times insisting The Times stop publishing any reports and scientific studies or articles that run contrary to GLAAD’s lies.

Liberty Counsel has already overturned multiple laws that banned change counsel, and we are working to overturn all such bans nationwide. I have no doubt we will continue winning if we stay on course.

We need YOUR HELP to counter the lies, escalating violence, and life-destroying bans. Please fund our critical legal work defending our children — and the Word of God — today. When you do, a special Challenge Grant will DOUBLE THE IMPACT of your donation. Please give generously today.

Finally, please be in prayer for all those impacted by the deadly Nashville shooting — that our Lord may bring comfort to their hearts and souls. Please pray also that those lost in the transgender ideology turn their hearts and minds to the Lord. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17).
