The Department of the Air Force hosted a two-day pride month celebration that featured the CEO of an organization that advocates for children to undergo irreversible medical sex change procedures and pushes sexually explicit LGBT books onto children, The Daily Wire has learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A promotional Air Force poster advertising the \u201cDAF Pride Celebration,\u201d exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, reveals how the military branch celebrated pride month, showing that the CEO of the pro-transgender organization PFLAG, Brian Bond<\/a>, was a keynote speaker at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPFLAG is one of the nation\u2019s most prominent pro-transgender organizations. Under Bond\u2019s leadership, it has fervently opposed legislation that seeks to protect children from cross-sex hormone treatments and sex change procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event is being promoted on posters inside the Pentagon office space, according to images obtained by The Daily Wire. It was scheduled to take place in the Pentagon courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/06\/pflag_dod_720-432x576.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBond\u2019s radical organization has a \u201ctransgender reading list for children<\/a>\u201d which includes \u201cI Am Jazz,\u201d which it described as a story about \u201ca transgender child based on the real-life experience of Jazz Jennings.\u201d There\u2019s also the \u201cGender Now Coloring Book,\u201d which is \u201cmeant to provide reflection and support unity by showing multiple genders standing together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother book on the list, called \u201cWhat Makes a Baby,\u201d is said to be a \u201cchildren\u2019s book that takes gender out of making a baby.\u201d The book\u2019s author, Cory Silverberg, is one of the founders<\/a> of what has been referred to as a \u201cbeginner\u2019s sex store\u201d in Toronto. He has also authored \u201cSex is a Funny Word,\u201d a children\u2019s book that discusses \u201ctransgender identity, intersex conditions, and masturbation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nA Pentagon source told The Daily Wire that the event is indicative of \u201cmisplaced\u201d focus in the military, which is losing sight of its main purpose: fighting wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are bombarded with emails, memos, official messages, meetings, and gatherings for special interest groups and social issues, but nary a word is issued about our warfighting heritage,\u201d the source said. \u201cThis is indicative of a much larger problem in the Pentagon: more time and effort is spent on social programs and issues than preparing for war. The focus is misplaced, and taxpayers should know what they are paying for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PFLAG has taken legal action against Texas<\/a>, Missouri<\/a>, and North Carolina<\/a> after the states sought to protect children from medical interventions like cross-sex hormone therapy injections and sex-change surgeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cFamilies need to be free to access care that is in their child\u2019s best interest,\u201d the organization argued in a statement<\/a> that also said, \u201c\u2018medical bans\u2019 criminalize treating a transgender child under the age of 18, imposing penalties on parents and health care providers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe military branch hosted a range of different activities and speakers for Pride Month beyond just the PFLAG CEO. The event schedule included \u201cqueer trivia,\u201d as well as speaker sessions on \u201cLGBTQ+ & Organizational Culture\u201d and the \u201cLGBTQ+ Civilian and Service Experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opening comments on the second day of the event were offered by Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram, an engineer with the United States Space Force and activist for pro-transgender policies in the military. The Daily Wire previously discovered that the Air Force Academy hosted Fram for a symposium where he spoke to cadets<\/a> about transgender inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFram, a man who identifies as a woman, also addressed a Pride celebration where he called for those in the military to \u201cinitiate difficult conversations about racial and gender barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
