How to Qualify for Homosexual Set-Asides in California

In moonbat-ruled California, contracts are awarded not only on the basis of being non-white and/or female, but as a reward for engaging in homosexuality.

From City Journal:

The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California’s 39 million residents.

Back in the 1980s, CPUC established a Supplier Diversity Program to discriminate against white men. Like all things progressive, it progressed:

In September 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring CPUC to recognize “LGBT-owned businesses” as eligible for supplier-diversity benefits. Five years later, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the program further, “encouraging” other companies involved in the energy sector to award contracts to gay-owned firms.

CPUC now has quotas for how much business must go to firms owned by homosexuals. Here’s how bureaucrats ensure they deserve this privileged status:

Supplier Clearinghouse, a group that certifies firms for the CPUC program, features a list of qualifications linked on its website. Applicants can secure certification by providing a letter from an “LGBT organization” attesting to their sexual preferences; proof that a newspaper identified them as “LGBT”; or three letters from “personal contacts” written “on company letterhead” attesting to their homosexual orientation. Corporate officials who “falsely represent” their business as gay face up to a year in county jail.

Supplier Clearinghouse also accepts gay-certification letters from the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has its own list of accepted documents, including human resources complaints or police records claiming LGBT discrimination.

Just to be sure, maybe they should require business owners to submit homemade porno movies.

In California, preferential public contracting is technically illegal. In 1996, voters approved Proposition 209, which banned the state from granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity in public employment, education, and contracting. More than two decades later, in 2020, they rejected an effort to repeal the ban.

Sure, and in 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, banning homosexual marriage. Where moonbattery prevails, voters only get what they want when they want what they are supposed to.

Activists Steer BBC Storylines to Promote Great Replacement to Children

Homosexuality is hardly the only area where children are subjected to indoctrination. The liberal agenda even more prominently features the displacement of Western populations. Modernity reports that pro-open borders activists have steered the storylines at a CBBC show for kids in primary school:

The programme in question is Pickle Storm, a CBBC (Children’s BBC) series following a young ‘alien’ who flees persecution on her home planet and settles in a British town. … Reports note that pro-migrant charity Heard held meetings with the show’s producers at Blackdog Television, including at least one BBC children’s programming representative on a Zoom call.

Heard later claimed in its own materials that producers used the input to inform the second series, which aired in 2025. The charity described the engagement as part of a strategy to “tap into children’s media and directly impact framing of migration in children’s content.”

They should spell in “Herd,” considering that its purpose to is to herd the impressionable off to the stockyards.

Heard presents itself as seeking to “shift public attitudes, norms and policy preferences.”

To accomplish this, it targets impressionable children who do not understand the threat posed to their own kind.

Heard has received money from sinister ultraleft financier George Soros as well as from the British taxpayers it aspires to displace via Arts Council England.

Denver Public School Teacher Forced Same Sex Students to Kiss

CBS News reports that Denver Public Schools dismissed a 50-year-old French teacher for pushing the envelope too far too fast:

The board voted 7-0 after meeting in executive session to consider the firing of Jennifer Honka.

Students had been complaining to other teachers that Honka staged skits in which students were made to kiss each other — on a same sex basis. Kids who refused to participate were given a score of zero.

Although this is consistent with the aggressive promotion of homosexuality to children in public schools, educrats are not yet ready to take the next logical step from indoctrination to coercion. The public might push back.

Honka had shared with her students that she is a lesbian and active in promoting LGBTism. Her defense is what you would expect:

Honka told investigators she believed she was the subject of discrimination based on her sexual orientation. But, according to the independent review, Honka has filed 18 grievances against the school district as a representative of the teachers’ union. According to the school board, none of them included a discrimination claim.

Discrimination against LGBTers is a preposterous concept in the context of schools these days.

State administrative law judge Keith J. Kirchubel observed that “for all of her asserted interest in a diverse and accepting environment at school, it was (Honka) who attributed the outcry by the students to their strong Christian backgrounds. That statement had its own discriminatory ring.”

Public schools have gone out of their way to promote LGBTism. This encourages unwholesome behavior. It may even draw people to the teaching profession for the wrong reasons.

$1.5 Million in Oblations to Luigi Mangione

To get an idea of the level of malevolence that characterizes the Democrat base, consider the monetary offerings bestowed upon an alleged terrorist arrested for shooting an innocent man in the back. Via Newsmax:

Thousands of supporters of Luigi Mangione, the man charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, have contributed more than $1.5 million to his legal defense…

The supporter-created donation website Stats4Lulu reported on Monday that Mangione’s legal fund had collected $1,530,753 from over 40,000 donors.

Mangione has also received more than 6,000 letters of support.

Murdering Thompson was a heroic deed from the liberal point of view due to presumed political motive. He was killed not for any personal reason but because of his job providing healthcare insurance on a nonsocialist basis. This has earned Mangione implicit support from as prominent a Democrat as US Senator and former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

If they shoot healthcare executives in the street now, imagine what they might do to you once they have consolidated control of the government.

Illinois DEI Training Video Depicts Whites as Mosquitoes

Under Islam, Jews are traditionally denounced as apes and pigs. Under liberalism, the most hated group is associated with a lower life-form — namely mosquitoes, the #1 enemy of the human race.

Via New American:

If you want to know why there will be more Karmelo Anthonys — angry black youth all too willing to kill whites — look no further than diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training offered by the Illinois government. It portrays white people and police as mosquitoes inflicting “microaggression” bites that maddeningly accumulate over time. Don’t worry, though, there is a remedy.

The training also shows a black woman using a flamethrower to incinerate the whites and cops mosquitoes.

Hitler had Jews. Stalin had kulaks. Mao had landowners. Liberals have normal white guys.

The video below has been used for indoctrination purposes by JB Pritzker’s Department of Human Rights. Parental advisory — the language of Illinois’s moonbat rulers is not suitable for children:

Resistance to Mandatory LGBTism Spreads to San Francisco Giants

Blake Treinen is not the only August Landmesser standing up to the leftist social engineers running Major League Baseball. Resistance has arisen right in the heart of moral decay — San Francisco.

From Outkick Sports:

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their “Pride Night,” with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.

The point is to force players to publicly advocate homosexuality.

Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats.

Landen Roupp followed the lead of Dodger great Clayton Kershaw with a reference to Genesis 9:12-16:

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

That’s what the rainbow means. For it to be appropriated by militant degenerates in the name of sexual perversion is sheer blasphemy.

A couple other Giants also stood tall. JT Brubaker wrote Genesis 9:13 on his hat. Sam Hentges reportedly refused to wear an LGBT hat at all.

The liberals in charge are not happy:

“The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” said Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

At least, it violates their rules when they don’t like the message.

Christians have for millennia suffered far worse persecution for their faith than anything MLB moonbats can inflict. This persecution continues in benighted places like Africa and communist China. If a Nigerian has the guts to show up for church in light of recent massacres, no ballplayer should be afraid to write a Bible verse on his hat.
