And Now We Have the "Gay and Trans" Mafia

To begin with, let's determine what the term “Mafia” means.  Besides the usual Italian connection, it is defined as:  a closed group of people in a particular field having a controlling influence.

First we had organized crime, then we had the Italian Mafia, the Russian Mafia, today the Mexican drug cartels (Mafia), and then other assorted ethnic mafia's, but now we have a new player on the scene, the “Gay and Trans Mafia”, whose main goal in life is to promote the gay and trans agenda and lifestyles, and to destroy all who oppose it.  These are the same people, who for years, have pleaded for tolerance of their gay and trans lifestyle, but by their actions, over the past few years, they have become very intolerant of those who oppose their gay and trans agenda.

With the help of the liberal media, liberal academia, and left-wing politicians, the militant gay and trans population (the “Gay and Trans Mafia”), has raised its ugly head to punish all who oppose the gay and trans lifestyle choices.  They verbally harass people of faith who oppose gay marriage and biological males participating in women's sports, desecrate their symbols, they demand the firing of people who promote “traditional marriage” and traditional lifestyles, they mock people of faith with in your face tactics of disrespect, and they organize boycotts of businesses run by people who do not adhere to the “gay or trans orthodoxy” (which they tried to do, a few years ago to Chick-fil-A, which failed miserably).

In the lead up to the 2015 Supreme Court decision on whether to legalize gay marriage nationally, this harassment and the instituting of boycotts had already put some small businesses out of business.  How Un-American is that?

Of course, the people who generally believe in our time-honored traditions, have, for the most part, sat idly by while a lot of this behavior was happening without putting up a fight.  The method used by today's “Gay and Trans Mafia” is to single out and demonize certain individuals, groups, and businesses by using terms like bigot, white supremacist, and homophobic and transphobic, to bring shame upon them.  This tactic is similar to what the “race hustlers” (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) have used by calling their opponents (enemies in their eyes), “racists”.  The onslaught is very rapid and direct and the mainstream news media generally plays up these views and personal attacks as a means of shaming those “offenders” to comply with their demands.

Just recently, many politicians have been cowered into complying with the demands of the “Gay and Trans Mafia” because they wanted to get elected or re-elected to political office (both Obama and Hillary changed their views in 2008, for instance, on gay marriage for political reasons).  Even though the gay population is only about 3% and the trans population less than 1% of the total population, they have an enormous amount of money to divvy out (the gay and trans communities are some of the richest communities in the country), with which to buy influence in the media and among politicians.

The gay marriage decision by the Supreme Court has given the “Gay and Trans Mafia”, more incentive now to extend their crusade to tearing down organized religion, a major roadblock in getting the gay and trans agenda fully accepted in society.  I firmly believe that gay marriage was not the main thrust of the militant gays back then, it was just the foot in the door tactic of trying to get the general public (the majority straight population) to accept as normal their abnormal lifestyle.  Little by little they are now or have succeeded in their efforts.

The only chance we, non-gay or non-trans people, can fight back against this attack on our culture and traditional values, is by electing politicians who believe that many of our values and traditions should remain and not thrown aside by the actions of a vocal and militant few (I call that the “tyranny of the minority”).  We must elect a president in 2024, Donald Trump or another Republican candidate, who will not fold like a cheap camera, like former president, Barack Obama and our current President Joe Biden, have done on quite a few occasions. He/she must adhere to the Constitution, and fight to preserve our freedoms by not transforming our country into a Marxist/Socialist hellhole. Whoever wins the Democrat nomination, he/she must be defeated for the good of our democratic republic.

We must confront and fight the “Gay and Trans Mafia”, or the America as we once ‘knew’, will never exist for our children and grandchildren.  We can't afford to sit idly by anymore.
