Conservative author Paul Kengor appeared on Jan Mickelson’s radio program this week to discuss the public’s response to Caitlyn Jenner’s gender transition. Kengor, believing his opinions are representative of Americans writ large, asserted: “I think a lot of people are getting really fed up with a lot of the saturation on marriage, on transgenderism, and all these other things. And the Bruce Jenner situation just strikes a lot of people as weird; they don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to deal with it. They’re kind of fed up with it.”
Mickelson, similarly “fed up” with the media “trying to play with our brains over this,” responded that “there’s two different elements to it, Dr. Kengor, and I bet you would agree with this. One is, as I said, the freak show part of it. But the other side is the sense that there are people who are making up and serving this stuff up in order to legitimize or mainstream, or to rewrite the social script.”
Bravely resisting such LGBT indoctrination, Kengor wondered if Jenner’s transition will eventually be revealed as “sort of a farce.” Even if Caitlyn Jenner is not lying about her transgender identity, Kengor says, he still upset about the “juggernaut that’s going on in the culture to redefine literally everything from marriage, to family, to sexuality itself,” especially because we are “dealing with a very tiny minority of people, and they represent a maximum three percent of the population are homosexual, and an even tinier percentage of those actually want to get married, and then a much tinier number still want sex change operations.”
Concerned for the minds of our youth, Mickelson argued they “totally get worked over by a disproportionate amount of content that deals with this statistically insignificant group of people, and you get they’re just playing us. It’s programming.”
“People really are sheep,” Kengor continued, pointing to a Wells Fargo ad about a lesbian couple adopting a deaf child as “a carefully crafted piece of propaganda.”
Mickelson, questioning whether Franklin Graham’s boycott of Wells Fargo over the ad is the right response, asked for Kengor’s sage advice. While Kengor claimed he did not know whether Graham took the right approach or not, he did share the “really interesting thing that happened a few months ago” when “Elton John called out two Italian designers, Dolce and Gabbana, who are gay men – they’re gay designers, fashion designers. And they criticized his adopting of children.”
In response, “Elton John led a bunch of gay marriage brigades to a boycott of Dolce and Gabbana products. And Dolce and Gabbana just responded by saying ‘listen, ah, we simply believe that every child should have a mother and a father and be brought into a family. We’re gay too,’ they were saying to Elton John.” Kengor praised the response of the Italian parliament, who supposedly said “‘well let’s boycott all Elton John music.’ And Elton John got his back up about that.” “But,” concluded Kengor, “if you’re gonna do it to one side, then maybe the other side oughta do it to you!”
