At a national level, radical activists and their collaborators are set to defy claims of “hate,” weaponizing these accusations to shame those attempting to shield their children from damaging ideologies.
In my organization, courage is a consistent practice. We’ve been tagged as a “Hate Group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to our stances on transgender issues and legislation affecting children. The dilemma we faced was whether to defend ourselves against these smears or to take control of the narrative.
Hatred, in this context, is a rational response—being outraged when witnessing the innocence of children undermined.
I opted for the latter stance.
As I mentioned to Blaze News in April, “Yes, we are indeed a group filled with hatred—100%. We despise what’s being done to our children. We detest those who promote transgender trafficking bills.”
This is now a call to American patriots: rethink the label of “hate” and consider wearing it as a badge of bravery. By flipping this narrative, we can reclaim the conversation around protecting childhood innocence and assert our rights as parents in the face of those trying to erode our way of life.
The manipulation of empathy
For far too long, well-meaning Americans have entrapped themselves. Radical activists, such as those behind Colorado’s HB 1312, exploit our compassion, framing their agenda as benevolence while branding opposition as “hate.”
This bill seeks to undermine parental rights by allowing children’s identities to be controlled at a national level, enabling decisions about gender transition without parental consent. When parents resist, they face accusations of hating the transgender community.
“There’s no point in engaging with those who spew hatred towards parents fighting for their children’s rights,” says Colorado Rep. Javier Mabry.
This strategy is deliberate and deceptive. It shifts focus away from harmful agendas and our goal of protecting kids from irreversible decisions, while it makes well-intentioned parents feel defensive about being labeled as “hate-filled.”
This is a misguided approach. The longer we spend on defending against their labels, the less we can spotlight their agenda—one that threatens parental rights, exploits children, and destroys innocence in the name of “inclusivity.”
Redefining “hate” in a constructive way
Since courage is a habit, we decided to embrace the “Hate Group” label. We dislike ideologies and policies that harm children.
In this light, hatred is the natural reaction of someone who sees the indoctrination and mutilation of a child. We are against bills like HB 1312 that conceal information from parents. We oppose legislation promoting transgender care for minors against their parents’ wishes. We are upset that young kids are led to believe they are born in the wrong bodies.
Patriots should embrace this redefinition. Don’t shy away when accused of “hate.” Instead, redirect the conversation: “Yes, I hate what’s happening to our children. I detest the policies that endanger their safety, and I find your dishonesty appalling.”
This tactic disarms the accuser by rejecting their foundational argument.
Claiming the moral high ground
The radical left wants you to think that opposing their agenda amounts to prejudice. However, protecting children isn’t about hate; it’s a noble act. It shields the most vulnerable among us, who can’t make substantial decisions for themselves. This stance requires a commitment to truth, even when faced with ideological fantasies.
As we resist transgender ideology in schools, we are defending the innocence and future of the next generation.
The moral ground belongs to those prioritizing kids over politics. While advocates for severe policies may try to mask their agenda with compassion, their actions reveal their true intentions.
A recent UK study, the Cass Review, found that treatments involving adolescent blockers and cross-sex hormones carry significant risks without solid evidence of long-term benefits. Nevertheless, extremists disregard these findings and accuse critics of “transphobia” rather than addressing reality.
A call for bold action
Patriots, it’s time to stop apologizing and start taking action. Here’s how to flip the “hate” accusations into a rallying cry:
- Embrace the narrative: When labeled with “hate,” acknowledge it. “I despise policies that harm children. I oppose ideologies that take advantage of them.” This shifts focus back to pressing issues.
- Speak confidently: Don’t downplay strong language. Call bills what they are: Transgender Trafficking Bills that prioritize ideology over facts. They attack parental rights and betray children’s trust.
- Educate and mobilize: Share resources like the Cass Review and stories from young people regretting irreversible actions pushed by activists. Participate in school board meetings and reach out to lawmakers demanding transparency.
- Build community: Connect with other concerned parents and groups opposing harmful ideologies. By joining forces, we can amplify our messages and expose those undermining parental authority.
- Stay focused: The left will use bad faith tactics to divert attention. Don’t get sidetracked. Keep discussions centered on the dangers of their support for harmful policies and reaffirm why it’s noble to challenge this agenda.
Courage as a habit
We’ve come to understand that courage is built through small, continuous decisions to seek truth.
Being labeled “hate groups” should not feel like a stigma; it’s a badge of honor. It signifies you are standing against those who harm children and threaten freedom. Wear it with pride. I abhor what is happening to our kids. I despise policies that deceive and endanger them. Let that drive your commitment to the cause.
The time for defense is over. Now is the time to be proactive. Remove these ideologies from our schools. Challenge their proponents in office. Protect the well-being of your children not just today, but for the future. As I’ve stated, “We oppose everything you represent”—and we will not back down.
Make courage your everyday practice.
