Boss of London Pride parade is sacked after ‘spending £7,000 of donations on luxury perfumes and Apple products’

The boss of Pride in London has been sacked after allegedly spending £7,000 of donated vouchers on luxury perfumes and Apple products.

Christopher Joell-Deshields was let go after an investigation was launched into allegations of misuse of company funds, financial mismanagement, and a failure to safeguard volunteers against bullying.

He had been CEO since 2021 and was often seen rubbing shoulders with celebrity supporters such as Naomi Campbell – but was suspended accused of using vouchers donated by a sponsor to purchase luxury products.

Whistleblowers claimed he had spent £7,125 of vouchers intended for volunteers on items including an Apple HomePod speaker, Apple AirPod earphones and colognes including Creed Aventus, which retails from £165. 

The pattern of the purchases suggested they were for ‘personal – rather than organisational – benefit’, the whistleblowers said. 

It was reported that he was being paid his full £87,500 salary whilst suspended, prior to his dismissal at the end of last month. He has denied any wrongdoing.

In a statement, Pride in London’s board of management said Mr Joell-Deshields is ‘no longer employed by or affiliated with London LGBT Community Pride’ – the community interest company that runs the annual event.

He appealed against the decision, but it was subsequently upheld by an independent reviewer. Pride did not say whether it had found the allegations against him proved.

Kristi Noem’s husband and the dark secret of trans

What guy hasn’t wanted to wear pink spandex and a mammoth pair of prosthetic boobs? I only ask because that’s what the husband of Kristi Noem, former US secretary of homeland security, was wearing in pictures that appeared in the Daily Mail on 31 March. Had the paper delayed publication for another day, the story might have been dismissed as an April Fool’s.

Bryon Noem – a successful crop-insurance salesman – racked up, it is alleged, bills of $25,000 from paying women to talk to him online, while he was wearing huge rubber breasts and pouting with all the feminine allure he could muster (despite forgetting to shave).

It sometimes seems as if nothing can shock us about adults’ consenting sexual behaviour, but the universal bafflement that greeted the images of Mr Noem was understandable. It has echoed the stunned reaction to the revelation in HBO’s The White Lotus, that Sam Rockwell’s character likes dressing up as a woman and getting ‘railed’ by four or five men at a time. In their different ways, Noem and Rockwell have helped lift the veil on a subject the trans lobby and their insanely uncritical allies have long refused to acknowledge. Whisper it gently: the vast majority of cross-dressing men get a sexual thrill from doing so.

Trans activists have relentlessly suppressed this fact. And who can blame them? The public would never for a moment have entertained allowing men in dresses access to women’s single-sex spaces if they knew the truth – namely, that many of these men are sexually aroused by forcing other people to treat them as if they’re women.

This is not to say that autogynephilia, the technical name for men getting off on imagining themselves as female, comes in only one style, the fetish equivalent of the little black dress. There’s a whole walk-in wardrobe of different cross-dressing fashions. Each more spicy than the next.

“No One Knows What Will Happen Now”: Justice Jackson Warns Against Unbridled Free Speech

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is again warning of a growing threat to the nation. In her lone dissent in Chiles v. Salazar, Jackson observed that “to be completely frank, no one knows what will happen now.” The ominous tone stemmed from the fact that free speech had prevailed over state-imposed orthodoxy in a Colorado case.

Eight justices, including her two liberal colleagues, ruled that Colorado could not prevent licensed counselors from “any practice or treatment” that “attempts or purports to change” a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

The win for free speech was catastrophic for Jackson and many on the left. Allowing counselors to discuss the causes and basis for sexual orientation changes, Jackson maintained, would “open a can of worms.” It would be far better for the majority to simply silence such dissenting voices in the name of science.

The dissent in Chiles is only the latest example of the chilling jurisprudence of Justice Jackson, including a pronounced dismissal of free speech values. Consider the holding of her colleagues that Jackson finds so horrific.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the First Amendment “reflects … a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth … any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an ‘egregious’ assault on both of those commitments.”

What a nightmare.

Instead, Jackson would have declared the ban on anything deemed “conversion therapy” to be “conduct,” not speech.

It is that easy.

You simply impose an orthodoxy and then treat any dissenters as being regulated for their conduct, not their viewpoints.

Justice Elena Kagan could not withhold her frustration with her colleague, noting that “[b]ecause the State has suppressed one side of a debate, while aiding the other, the constitutional issue is straightforward.” She added that Jackson’s view “rests on reimagining—and in that way collapsing—the well-settled distinction between viewpoint-based and other content-based speech restrictions.”

Other countries have embraced Jackson’s permissive approach to speech curtailment.

Supreme Court Rules 8-1 Against Colorado Law Banning So-Called ‘Conversion Therapy’

The Supreme Court overwhelmingly ruled against a Colorado “conversion therapy” law on Tuesday that bans therapists from helping minors align their “gender identity” with their biological reality. 

The High Court ruled against the law 8-1, saying it likely violates the First Amendment by allowing some viewpoints but not others. Liberal-leaning Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has repeatedly been unable to describe what a woman is, penned the lone dissent. 

Colorado’s law was passed in 2019; more than 20 other states have laws banning “conversion therapy.” While Colorado’s law bans archaic and unethical aversion methods historically associated with conversion therapy, like electroshock therapy, it also more broadly outlaws “providing professional services for the purpose of attempting to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity, including attempting to change behaviors or expressions of self or to reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same gender.”

Kaley Chiles, a practicing Christian and a licensed counselor who, per court documents, “believes that people flourish when they live consistently with God’s design, including their biological sex,” sued the state over the law. She argued the law banned her from using talk therapy with clients who voluntarily come to her to help them align their sexuality or view of their identity with their biological reality, particularly with regard to minors.

Chiles contended Colorado banned consensual conversations based on the viewpoints expressed, in violation of the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment, and only allows counselors to push minors toward “gender-affirming care,” which includes social transition, sex change drugs, and surgeries — methods which are experimental, steeped in ideology, and pushed by large medical associations. Colorado argued that licensed health professionals in the state are subject to professional discipline for providing treatment to patients that falls “below the accepted standard of care.”

Idaho Passes Strictest Law In The US For Transgenders Using Incorrect Bathrooms

The transgender movement is widely regarded as a political insurgency rather than a civil rights movement, and for good reason.  Leftist activists often declare themselves to be “trans” as a political statement, even when they don’t actually suffer from gender dysphoria, a rare mental illness that has little to do with gay rights or “social justice”. 

Children, by extension, are easily manipulated by such activists in the form of parents and teachers, and they tend to declare they are trans in order to please the brainwashing lunatics in their lives.  

The idea that gender is an amorphous condition separate from biological sex is pure theory based on little or no scientific data.  In a non-political and truly scientific environment gender identity claims are treated as ideological, not tangible.  In other words, trans is a trend, not an inherent sexual identity group that needs to be protected from discrimination.

The purpose of the transgender movement is to further deconstruct western society and inject concepts of relativity.  It is designed to make us question concrete reality and abandon objective logic in favor of a perception-based society, a moral desert. 

Thankfully, nearly half of the states in the US are rejecting this madness and passing laws to prevent it from taking hold yet again.  It took ten years, but the idea of catering to transgenders is in swift retreat. 

Much to the chagrin of Democrats, Idaho has recently passed one of the strictest transgender bathroom laws in the U.S.  House Bill 752 requires people to use bathrooms, locker rooms, or changing rooms matching their biological sex, but that’s not all.

The new law applies to both government buildings and private businesses with facilities of public accommodation.  This means any public bathroom, locker room, changing room etc. in any business is subject to the law.  This helps to eliminate the corporate activism loophole, which has in the past allowed male-to-female transgenders to enter women’s spaces, putting women and young girls at risk.

Kristi Noem weighs in on report husband lives cross-dressing double life: ‘The family was blindsided by this’

Former Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem is “devastated” by salacious allegations her husband Bryon lives a double life where he cross-dresses and chats online with fetish models.

“Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” Noem’s representatives told The Post.

According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Bryon Noem chatted up women from the so-called “bimbofication” fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a “Barbie doll”-like appearance.

Citing “hundreds” of messages purportedly sent by three women from the scene, Noem’s husband enthusiastically praised their heavily augmented appearances, and proclaimed he coveted “huge, huge ridiculous boobs,” according to the Mail.

One photo the Mail claims Bryon Noem shared with the women features him wearing pink hot-pants and a flesh-colored, skin-tight suit.

He appears to have put balloons in his shirt to mimic comically oversized, lopsided breasts – complete with fake protruding nipples.

The Post has not confirmed the details reported by the Mail.

The outlet spoke to national security experts who surmised her husband’s alleged proclivities could have left the former DHS secretary – who was fired last month – vulnerable to potential blackmail.

Female Swimmer Beaten By Male Faces Lifetime Competition Ban For Talking About It

Angie Griffin swims like a woman, a skill that earned her the title of a top ten U.S. Masters Swimming competitor in her age group for more than a decade.

The 46-year-old’s dedication to the sport means Griffin does, as she humbly told The Federalist in a phone interview, “all right” at USMS competitions. At first glance, Griffin’s second-place performance last April in her USMS age division’s national championship breaststroke event seemed to fit that bill.

It wasn’t until after the meet that Griffin realized she was only runner-up because a man took first place.

One year later, instead of focusing on winning at this year’s USMS Spring Nationals in Greensboro, North Carolina, Griffin is gearing up to argue against a lifetime ban from the organization that made her fall back in love with the water for saying men in women’s sports is unfair.”

“I swim for fun,” the Bay Stater said. “I don’t participate in the committees and the making of these policies and the rules. I didn’t know they had little bylaws that they could say, ‘Hey, you’re speaking your mind and using facts for your opinion. So we’re gonna silence you for having a different opinion than us.’”

Justice Department Sues Minnesota for Allowing Boys in Girls’ Sports and Intimate Spaces

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) on Monday, alleging sex-based discrimination by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and use girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms. 

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is a well-known advocate for these policies, and he infamously signed a 2023 law, directing all public schools to provide free menstrual products to all menstruating students, including trans students, in grades 4 to 12.

The 45-page lawsuit was filed in Minnesota federal court, arguing that the “unfair, intentionally discriminatory practice violates the very core of Title IX of the Education Amendments.”

“Title IX’s core purpose is to ensure that both boys and girls have equal educational opportunities. This includes protecting girls’ equal educational athletic opportunities by recognizing that boys have an inherent biological advantage in sports,” the filing reads, noting male and female athletes have “undeniable physiological differences.”

“But Minnesota casts this aside in favor of so-called “gender identity,” a choice that elevates ideology over biology, fairness, and safety. In open defiance of Title IX’s antidiscrimination protections, Minnesota’s policies and practices create unfair competition, deny girls equal educational opportunities, and expose girls to a hostile educational environment with heightened risks of physical injury and psychological harm.”

It further points to the over $3 billion in federal funding that the Minnesota Department of Education receives annually from the US Department of Education (USDOE), arguing that Minnesota has a duty to comply with USDOE’s regulations implementing Title IX.

The MDE also receives approximately $42.6 million annually from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is required to comply with HHS’s regulations implementing Title IX.

Transgender Pedophile Convicted of Raping 4-Year-Old Girl Files Legal Claim Requesting Transfer to Women’s Prison

A man convicted of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old has lodged a legal complaint against the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) seeking a transfer from a sex offender treatment unit to the state’s only women’s prison, Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women (EMCF). While court records protected the pedophile’s identity, Reduxx can reveal him as Robert Gladulich – though he is listed in DOC records as Samantha Abigail Gladulich.

In 2011, Gladulich pled guilty and was sentenced to a maximum term of 10 years for the aggravated sexual assault of a child which he committed on Christmas Eve of 2010. While limited case details are available, it is known the young victim was the daughter of one of Gladulich’s friends. He was indicted on charges of sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment. In addition to a 10-year prison term and sex offender registration requirement, Gladulich was sentenced to parole supervision for life.

Wait, That’s Why PA House Dems Pulled Their National Women’s Month Resolution

They’re just unserious people. The Democratic Party is so unhinged, illiberal, and has a base to back that up. They’re also terrified of them since we’re dealing with left-wing cultural authoritarians, where any deviation is a political death sentence. Why do you think the party is so paralyzed on transgender issues? Most Americans can answer what a woman is. The average Democrat cannot. In Pennsylvania, they even nuked a resolution honoring National Women’s Month over it.  

I’m not kidding. Pennsylvania Democrats drafted this resolution but ran away like scared wombats when a Republican wanted to attach an amendment clarifying the definition of womanhood. The Democrats then pulled the resolution.

Pennsylvania House Democrats withdrew consideration of a resolution honoring March as “National Women’s Month” after a Republican lawmaker filed an amendment to include the physiological definition of “woman” in the text. 

What was expected to be a quick, symbolic vote instead turned into a brief but telling floor moment, with Republicans forcing the question into the open and Democrats opting to shelve the resolution rather than define “woman” in legislation — leading to an eruption of laughter on the House floor. 

House Speaker Joanna McClinton, D-Southwest Philadelphia, was bringing a rapid-fire succession of bills up for consideration late in Tuesday’s session when she asked the clerk to introduce House Resolution 390. 

The bill, from state Rep. Carol Hill-Evans, D-York, recognized March as Women’s History Month in Pennsylvania. Hill-Evans wrote in her presentation of the bill that it “celebrat[es] the extraordinary accomplishments of women,” which “too often go unacknowledged.”
