OPINION:
An 11-year-old boy pretending to be a girl — because, in large part, his parents have pushed him to believe that — donned a flowery princess gown and served as the grand marshal of Orlando’s “pride parade” to the clapping and cheering of a crowd of thousands.
These sick, evil people, along with the boy’s sick, evil parents, will one day face an unimaginable wrath.
“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea,” Matthew 18:6 states.
The boy, Dempsey Jara, 11, is from New York and his parents, Dennis and Jaime, say he’s always “gravitated” toward “girl things” — whatever that means; leftists can’t even define what a woman is nowadays, never mind a girl toy versus a boy toy.
But when it comes to changing children’s sexes at whim?
“She’s just always gravitated toward girl things, girls’ toys,’” Jaime Jara, a schoolteacher, told the Orlando Sentinel. “She’d say, ‘I’m a girl in my heart and my brain.’ She’s been on this journey since she was five and she’s living her best life.”
Meanwhile, both Jaime and Dennis have taken to Instagram to show their son in various girl outfits, supposedly narrating his transition to girlhood.
These parents should lose custody of their son. They’re exploiting him and abusing him. They should have told him the truth at age 5 — that he was a boy — but instead they fostered his child imagination and led him down a path of lies and deceptions. And now they’re reaping fame from their abuse.
“Dempsey Jara became the youngest grand marshal in the event’s history, as [he] paraded in an open top car through the streets of the Florida city at one of the world’s biggest pride events,” the Daily Mail wrote. “Wearing pink heart-shaped sunglasses and a floral gown, [he] blew kisses to the crowd while clutching a puppy wrapped in a blue bow, as [his] parents beamed in the back seat.”
Children need to be told who they are in Christ when they’re young and impressionable. They don’t know what a boy is versus a girl; they have no concept of what it means to be a man versus a woman. It’s the job of the parents to guide the gift called children down the proper path and educate them in the ways of God and the Bible — to train them in the way they should go.
Parents often fail.
Parents aren’t always fit for the job.
Parents often have baggage from their own lives they bring into the child-rearing game, making it challenging to raise them right.
But parents who purposely exploit their children’s innocence and lead them into deceptions that will cause permanent mental, physical and emotional damage — and put that child on display for all the world to see, flaunting the damage they’ve caused — are a special kind of evil. So, too, those who stand by, watch the evil as it unfolds, cheer the evil as it goes forth, and embolden even more evil to come and spread.
Pride events are by nature despicable shows of rebellion against God. But sticking a child at the helm and applauding his participation? That’s just a totally new level of sickness. Children with parents who allow them to gender shift as such an early age as 5 ought to be arrested and charged with child abuse, not given public platforms to showcase their abuse. It’s as simple as that. And Americans of all political walks ought to be able to acknowledge that and join in effort to save the children.
