(LifeSiteNews) – The armed forces have been a project of the gender ideologues for some time, perhaps because they are so overwhelmingly masculine. They still are, and the U.S. military is still easily the most powerful in the world. But that hasn’t stopped the ideologues from making progress. “Pride” is now celebrated by many branches (remember the U.S. Marines’ “Pride bullets?”); there is all sorts of babble about transgender soldiers, as affirming individual identity rather than creating a cohesive unit were the purpose of the military; there was that cringeworthy CIA recruitment video series. (Unsurprisingly, military recruitment is at record lows.)
The latest news on the culture front comes from the U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PCAF), the division assigned the role of countering or confronting China. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the PCAF has “ordered its senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns in written formats, saying the shift to more neutral language will help improve the fighting force’s ‘lethality.’” According to an email sent in May at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam: “We must embrace, promote and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion.” Specifically, commanders are told: “Do not use pronouns, age, race etc.”
Why? Because: “Competition against near-peer adversaries requires a united focus from the command, the joint team, and our international partners. Welcoming and employing varied perspectives from a foundation of mutual respect will improve our interoperability, efficiency, creativity, and lethality.” According to the Washington Free Beacon, this “policy change is part of a larger effort by the Biden administration and the U.S. military to foster what it says is a more culturally sensitive environment.”
We need YOU to be a voice for natural marriage and the constitutional freedom of individual states by SIGNING and SHARING this petition calling on Republican U.S. Senators to oppose the deceitfully named "Respect for Marriage Act!"
Leftist members of Congress have, once again, opted to ignore the myriad of issues facing our country — be it the border crisis, gas prices, inflation, crime, and more — to instead virtue-signal by introducing their radical new bill, the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act," which, among other things, would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.
And with the radical left continuing its attempts to redefine words, people, and events to better suit their agenda and advance their political narratives, it should come as no surprise that their latest target happens to be natural marriage.
But marriage is not a political tool for the left to manipulate and destroy; it is the key building block of our society, and the primary basis for the safe, responsible upbringing of our children.
Republican members of the U.S. Senate still have a chance to defend natural marriage by stopping this bill from becoming law, but we need to let them know that the American people oppose the left's seemingly never-ending efforts to degrade the sanctity of marriage.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition to Republican members of the U.S. Senate, insisting that they vote against the "Respect for Marriage Act" when it comes before them for any form of vote.

The legislation in question, formally filed as H.R.8404 and sponsored by liberal New York Congressman Jerry Nadler, would codify same-sex marriage into federal law, effectively forcing states to recognize any marriage performed in another state regardless of laws on their own books.
It would also fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which was signed by President Clinton back in 1996 and formally defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman under federal law.
With the fall of Roe v. Wade back in June, the left's paranoia about losing ground when it comes to their radical social and political agenda has reached a fever pitch, resulting in the ongoing push for the "Respect for Marriage Act," which, if we don't act soon, may well become law...
TIME IS RUNNING OUT: With a 50-50 Senate, the left needs just TEN Republican members to bow to pressure: the mainstream media, Big Tech, Hollywood, and the university system are all fighting against us. With so much pressure against conservatives, we need you to send these Senators a powerful message demanding that they stand strong against the left.
That's why we need your help now.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition to Republican U.S. Senators across the country, urging them to stand against the left's attempts to reinvent marriage by opposing the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act" when it comes before them for a vote.
Protect natural marriage! Protect the freedoms of individual states!
Put Republican U.S. Senators on notice and let them know that you're watching closely how they vote on the "Respect for Marriage Act."
Thank you!
A spokesman for Andersen Air Force Base confirmed the authenticity of the emails: “Unleashing the potential of diversity and inclusion at all levels is a Pacific Air Forces’ priority and something we strive for at Andersen. Diversity and inclusion are force multipliers and warfighting imperatives that enable our competitive advantage against near-peer adversaries.” There was no explanation as to how, exactly, “diversity and inclusion” are “force multipliers” or specifically, how they “enable our competitive advantage” against the rising Chinese superpower which, it goes without saying, doesn’t particularly care about such things.
As long as the Biden Administration continues to push for these things, we are likely to see recruitment depressed as young men who want to join the military for traditional reasons are turned off by sensitivity trainings, gender ideology, and other progressive agendas. Most, it is fair to say, do not join the military profession to get lectured by academics on queer theory. It is also likely that this is simply the tip of the iceberg. Anyone who thinks that these new guidelines are a) all that the ideologues intend for the military or b) as far as they’re likely to go is kidding themselves. For now, no pronouns. Tomorrow, the introduction of the many new pronouns cropping up almost weekly.
So look forward to more prestigious American institutions beclowning themselves with pronoun nonsense. Like this much-mocked Twitter post by TIME Magazine, which was founded by a devout anti-Communist in another country far, far away: “TIME spoke to ‘Gender Queer’ author and illustrator Maia Kobabe on about eir work, the efforts to restrict access to eir writing, and what ey make of the current cultural moment.” Yes, I spelled all of that right. TIME Magazine is using the made-up pronouns “eir” and “ey,” which virtually nobody has ever heard of. But don’t worry – just like the U.S. Air Force division tasked with combatting China is embracing “diversity and inclusion” to improve their warfighting advantage, TIME Magazine is spoon-feeding its audience that nonsense in the name of truth and accuracy.
