TAKE ACTION: The State Senate & Assembly have sided with homosexual and transsexual radicals and have passed AB 1266, sending the bill to Governor Jerry Brown where he can either veto the bill or sign it into law. AB 1266 seeks to grant special protections in the law for cross-dressing and transgender youth. AB 1266 specifically would require that transgender youth be “permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs, activities, and facilities, including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with his or her gender identity.”  

If Governor Brown sides with homosexual and transgender radicals then all of California’s schools, can you imagine from Kindergarten to 12^th grade, will begin to do the insanely unthinkable by allowing youth who think they are the opposite sex and might even dress like the opposite sex to be able to gain access to locker rooms, showers and restrooms of the opposite sex! Boys who think they are girls would be able to change and shower with girls!

AB 1266 even requires sexually confused males who feel they are girls to be able to play on all-girls sports teams! You can theoretically have an all-girls softball team made up of biological boys! Even youth who have undergone partial sex-changes can pick which “gender” or “sex” they feel they are. This would put girls at a disadvantage and be more likely to be hurt. This is insanity!

AB 1266 further promotes the concept that “gender” is based on how a person perceives themselves to be, regardless of their sex at birth and regardless of what their birth certificate says. With the signing of Assembly Bill 537 in the year 2000 and Senate Bill 1234 in 2004, California’s penal code and hate crimes laws were amended to include the absurd redefinition of the term “gender.” No longer does gender solely refer to male and female. California law now recognizes an open-ended definition of the term gender to include “gender identity” and “gender expression.” The law states that “’Gender expression’ means a person’s gender-related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.” This means that a male can perceive themself to be a woman and dress like a woman and the law protects their “gender expression.” AB 1266 seeks to further promote this sexually confused and unhealthy lifestyle in the law causing young people, even as young as 5, to question their birth sex.

Now with the Supreme Court ruling California’s marriage definition of one man and one woman unconstitutional, homosexual advocates are now saying their next agenda is full rights for transgender, transsexual and cross-dressing individuals. They wasted no time bragging about how transsexual marriage and “equality”’ was next. They now feel emboldened to get AB 1266 signed into law in a hurry.

Faithful friends, as with every time I write you, you are needed and are a key part of our

success. We need you to pray about what God would lead you to give at this crucial time and we need you to take action contacting the Governor without delay. The fate of our youth greatly depend on it.

Can I count on you for your urgent action against AB 1266?

I hope we can!
