Approaching Sodom attempts to document how the world, particularly the western world, becomes more and more like Sodom and Gomorrah before God destroyed them completely for their deviant sins. The world is 'progressing' ever so rapidly in that direction bringing God's wrath upon us sooner than most of us would believe.
This unbelievable story causes me to question whether we have already exceeded the wickedness of Sodom.

Biden’s latest hire has an openly deviant lifestyle.
A sign of progress, or moral decay?
Sam Brinton’s appointment to a top US nuclear role poses legitimate questions
given his self-confessed bizarre sexual proclivities

A colorful new hire of the Biden administration, “queer activist” Sam Brinton, is making waves on social media for his strange appearance and openly deviant lifestyle.
Brinton, who is a proud drag queen and “pup handler” – in other words, someone who leads gay men dressed in fetish gear around as they pretend to be dogs, before having sex with them – has been appointed to a high-ranking position in the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy.
On paper, a candidate with dual Masters degrees in nuclear and mechanical engineering from MIT would seem like a perfect fit. Brinton also has experience in the corridors of power, having previously advised the Obama White House on LGBTQ+ issues and worked with Congress on nuclear policy. His bio makes clear he has a solid professional background.
But Brinton’s public lifestyle is unsuited to the demands of a high-ranking public government position.
Holding an important position in the DOE would ostensibly require him to interact with his foreign counterparts in China, Russia, and Iran – or any other country with a semblance of normalcy. In the case of Iran, a fundamentalist Muslim country with nuclear ambitions, the presence of an openly deviant drag queen would undoubtedly strain conversations, given that he would face persecution for his sexual proclivities there.
Brinton’s hire is an example of the Biden administration’s woke initiatives towards “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI),” which also included the appointment of Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender health official to the Department of Health and Human Services. Levine was sworn in as the country’s first (female?) four-star admiral.
It shouldn’t be surprising that the Biden administration allows people suffering from woke hysteria and loose morals to rise to high-ranking government positions, as even Vice President Kamala Harris has joined in with her embrace of pronoun rituals.
As detailed by Colin Wright for the Wall Street Journal, “Participating in pronoun rituals makes you complicit in gender ideology’s regressive belief system, legitimizing it. Far from an innocuous act, it serves as an implicit endorsement of gender ideology and all of its radical tenets.”
For those not in the know, the pronoun ritual is a part of the progressive routine of identifying oneself with so-called ‘preferred pronouns’ like ‘they/them’ and ‘xe/xer’ while introducing oneself – alongside other bizarre rituals and phrases like ‘trigger warning’ and ‘check your privilege’ that first emerged from Tumblr and liberal American universities.
The Biden administration’s newest nuclear waste deputy isn’t shy about his deviancy. A Metro Weekly article showcases Brinton’s lifestyle as a handler in the “pup community.” In the piece, Brinton goes into quite astonishingly explicit detail about various techniques involved in his kink, as well as the sexual proclivities of other queer subjects. Click on the link if you’re so inclined, but be warned – it doesn’t make for edifying reading. No, you won't find the link on this blog!
Brinton has also given lectures about ‘kink lifestyles’ on college campuses, including a class for the University of Wisconsin-Stout Gender and Sexuality Alliance on the ‘Physics of Kink’.
In an Instagram post, the session was said to include “live demos on the tension forces of bondage, thermodynamics of wax play, physics of impact, and circuits of electro play!”
Brinton also led a ‘Kink 101’ lecture at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, with an Instagram post showing Brinton in a dress and heels, standing over three kneeling men in leather bondage gear.
The establishment’s left’s ongoing effort to promote ‘tolerance’ has become more than a slide into moral decay – the ‘woke’ left is sprinting at full speed, accelerating the destruction of conservative American values and traditions through an embrace of degeneracy.
Hiring Brinton is emblematic of the country’s social decline.
Not to mention the danger of having someone of questionable mental and emotional stability in such a powerful position. What madness has taken over the White House?
'Gay propaganda' law sees new 'Sims' installment pulled in Russia
The game’s developers claim Russian law would have interfered with
the depiction of lesbian characters
A new installment from the makers of the massively popular video game series The Sims will not be sold in Russia, developers have announced, claiming that the presence of LGBT characters in marketing would have caused problems with Russian law.
Video games giant EA posted the news on its website, last week, one day after announcing the upcoming release of the ‘My Wedding Stories’ game pack for ‘The Sims 4’. As its name suggests, the expansion adds elements focused on marriage to the core game, which allows players to control characters in a whimsical simulation of real life. The promotional material for ‘My Wedding Stories’ features a lesbian couple named Dominique and Camille, which EA said would have caused problems in Russia due to legislation banning the depiction of “non-traditional sexual relationships” to minors.
“Imagining the stories our players will tell with our packs is at the heart of everything we create,” the company wrote. “For ‘My Wedding Stories’, we were excited to introduce you to Dom and Cam. Their love story reflects the lived experiences of so many members of our community and team.”
“As we moved through our development and brand storytelling process, we became aware that the way we wanted to tell Cam and Dom’s story would not be something we could freely share around the world.”
The statement continues, “We are committed to the freedom to be who you are, to love who you love and tell the stories you want to tell.” For that reason, EA wrote, they decided to forego the release of the expansion “where our storytelling would be subject to changes because of federal laws.”
‘The Sims 4’ previously earned an 18+ label in Russia due to the presence of homosexual relationships, and EA did not explain what, if any, harsher penalties it expected for the new expansion – although the concern appears to be over featuring same-sex couples in promotional material.
In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the nation’s so-called ‘gay propaganda law’, which prohibits the distribution of material deemed to promote “non-traditional sexual relationships” among minors. The legislation was passed with the stated goal of protecting children from being exposed to homosexuality and has been criticized domestically and internationally as an attack on LGBT rights. The Kremlin has insisted that it does not criminalize activity and only regulates what can be marketed to children and young people.
Christian Doctor Fired for Not Using Transgender Pronouns
Files Appeal: 'My Case Affects Everyone'

A British Christian doctor who was fired for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of transgender patients has filed an appeal, saying his case “affects everyone” who is “concerned by compelled speech” and “transgender ideology.”
David Mackereth, a doctor with 26 years of experience, was dismissed from his position in 2018 as an accident and emergency department (A&E) doctor when he refused to identify patients by their chosen gender instead of their biological sex.
Mackereth is a Christian who says his religious beliefs are protected by federal law.
A British judge in October 2019 ruled against Mackereth, saying the doctor’s beliefs about gender are not “worthy of respect in a democratic society” and are “incompatible with human dignity.”
Gender fluidity is not worthy of respect in a scientific society nor compatible with common sense.
Mackereth appealed the decision to the Employment Appeal Tribunal, which will hear the case March 28-29. The Christian Legal Centre is representing him.
“My case affects everyone, not just me and Bible-believing Christians, but anyone who is concerned by compelled speech and transgender ideology being enforced on the NHS and other public services,” the doctor said. “The judgment from two years ago said to Christians ‘you have to believe in transgender ideology.’ That is totalitarianism. It made out Christianity to be nothing, the Bible to be nothing. That cannot be allowed to stand.”
It's worse than that! It makes out transgender ideology to be normal which results in spectacular numbers of kids suffering with gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoric kids have extremely high numbers of attempted suicide. 80-85% of gender dysphoric kids normalize to their biological sex after puberty. Also, a large portion of gender dysphoric kids come from the autism spectrum. It's like encouraging people with anorexia to lose weight.
The doctor’s attorneys say a 2021 decision in a separate case could be beneficial. In that ruling, the Employment Appeal Tribunal sided with a woman, Maya Forstater, who had lost her job due to her biblical beliefs about transgenderism.
Mackereth says he was asked by his previous manager, “If you have a man six foot tall with a beard who says he wants to be addressed as ‘she’ and ‘Mrs,’ would you do that?” Mackereth said he would not.
“This was an astonishing judgment, and one that if upheld will have seismic consequences not just for the NHS and for Christians, but anyone in the workplace who is prepared to believe and say that we are created male and female,” said Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre. “The teaching of Genesis 1:27 is repeated throughout the Bible, including by Jesus Christ himself. It is fundamental to establishing the dignity of every human person but is, in a bizarre ironic twist, being branded as incompatible with that dignity.”
How long, O Lord, how long?
Parents suing govt over transgender ‘culture war’ in schools
The couple claim they were told children who expressed surprise or confusion
over a trans student would be deemed transphobic
Two parents who are suing the UK government over guidelines on transgender issues at their sons’ school have told RT that their children are trapped in a “culture war.”
British Christians Nigel and Sally Row previously told The Times that their two sons were left confused over ‘gender-fluid’ classmates.
After raising the issue with the Isle of Wight school, the Rows received a response saying a child would be dubbed ‘transphobic’ if he showed surprise or frustration over a friend’s unusual appearance. As a result, the couple chose to transfer both their sons to homeschooling and to launch legal action against the government.
In an interview with RT, the Rows said that a 500-page report, submitted by them to the court, contains “great warnings” from various specialists, including endocrinologists and psychologists. These explain in detail “what would happen if we continue to do this sort of thing in schools.”
The scandal, which has made headlines in the UK, shocked the tight-knitted school community. Speaking to The Times, Nigel described the “hostile” atmosphere his family has had to deal with.
However, in his conversation with RT, he mentioned that publicity has brought them unexpected allies from within the LGBTQ community. He referred to an email he was “really touched” with, from a lady who told him that she was a lesbian but supported their stance.
“I don’t want to see this kind of [trans] ideology being pushed on children,” her message said, as quoted by Row.
He said such messages prove that “people are beginning to understand what this really is all about – it’s basically a culture war.”
The parents expressed hope that the legal action would be a success and would contribute to the development of clear guidelines for schools on how to support all pupils, without enforcing any ideology.
The interview with the Rows came as the UK government categorically declined the idea of replacing ‘Sir’ and ‘Miss’ in the country’s schools with the gender-neutral term ‘Teacher’. Calling the measure – which was proposed by the Educate and Celebrate charity – “inappropriate and completely unnecessary,” a Department of Education spokesperson, quoted by the media, said that “it should not be happening in our classrooms.”
A recent refusal by more than two dozen private girls’ schools in England to admit transgender students dealt another blow to trans activists – but the problem of how to handle trans issues in schools remains unresolved.
The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), which represents headteachers, has issued a call to the government to urgently clarify the measures the schools should take amid a growing number of transgender ‘coming-outs’.
Kids’ game contains virtual sex ‘condos’
Private sex spaces keep popping up in Roblox, according to a new BBC report
‘Roblox’, a game targeted towards children with its simple graphics, blocky characters, and an E for Everyone rating, has been found to contain sexually explicit spaces called ‘condos’, which feature players discussing adult topics and engaging in virtual sex acts.
A recent report from the BBC exposed the adult side of the ‘Roblox’ community, describing these condos as featuring a man wearing a Nazi uniform, a couple openly having sex in front of a group of spectators, and people engaging in BDSM play – all on a platform that is among the most popular children’s games in the world.
The issue stems from the fact that ‘Roblox’ is not actually a game in the traditional sense; it is a platform where users can create custom games using its assets, as well as importing their own. Players can then share their creations with others and even earn money by having their game succeed.
While the platform’s Terms of Service explicitly prohibit any adult content, moderators are having a hard time keeping the creators of adult-themed games at bay. Most of the condos are taken down quickly, sometimes in less than an hour, but the company still accepts that it has a problem: “We know there is an extremely small subset of users who deliberately try to break the rules,” developers Roblox told the BBC in a statement. “We have zero tolerance for sexual content or behavior of any kind, and we take swift action against anyone found to be acting in breach of our Community Standards.”
The process for taking down these condo games is usually a mixture of both manual review and automated filters that scan every image, video, and audio file that gets uploaded to the platform. But some content still manages to slip through in what Roblox describes as a “cat and mouse” issue.
While it’s unknown how many children have been exposed to these sex games, as the condos are not something players can accidentally stumble upon without explicitly searching for them, the prospect that kids under the age of 13 could potentially be socialising with adults in these spaces and the in-game messenger has been of particular concern to worried parents.
Roblox has announced that it will develop ‘Parental Control’ tools that could be used to restrict who children can interact with on the platform and what experiences they can access.
This isn't the first time the company has been under fire for malicious practices on its platform. Earlier reports suggested that there was also rampant child abuse and exploitation, with kids being tricked into developing games for third-party companies, often without pay and under stressful conditions.
Roblox has also been accused of making false promises and exploiting its audience by making money off of its users’ creations while severely undercutting the developers. In a recent blog post, the company seemingly addressed the issue, promising to reduce its minimum Robux (in-game currency) payout amount to make its real-world economy fairer to creators. They also announced actions against third-party sites to prevent scams, but no further details or specifics were provided.

Dad Loses Custody of Child for Opposing Transgender Treatments:
'This Case Should Frighten' America

Tuesday, February 15, 2022
A California father lost custody of his transgender-identifying 16-year-old child after declaring his opposition to hormone therapy and after the judge asked the dad if he believes transgenderism “is a sin,” according to a new report.
The father, Ted Hudacko, expressed unconditional love for his biological son in court proceedings before California Superior Court Judge Joni Hiramoto, who continually asked the dad if he could affirm the child’s self-identity. The child, a biological male, identifies as female and prefers they/them pronouns.
Because of the father’s position, he eventually lost all parental rights, with no ability to see his child and no right to stop any medical treatments that could leave the child permanently infertile, according to the report.
The shocking case was detailed in a news story in the City Journal by author and writer Abigail Shrier, who calls the child “Drew” in the report.
The case began in 2019 but became public this month. Hudacko’s wife, who supported the child’s transition, had filed for divorce, according to the story.
The father expressed unease about hormone treatments, asking the judge “to consider research that suggested puberty blockers could impair cognition and diminish bone density,” Shrier reported. Hormone treatment, the father said, could make the child permanently infertile – a major concern if his child later decides to de-transition.
“He wasn’t even sure that his son had gender dysphoria,” Shrier wrote. “He wanted to see his son – and he wanted this bullet train to slow down.”
The father remembered his child having a crush on a girl in the fifth grade.
“[D]o you think that being transgender is a sin?” the judge asked, according to the court transcript.
“No, of course, I don’t think it’s a sin,” the father replied.
But it is! Deuteronomy 22:5
“A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.
“So you don’t think that it’s a sin,” the judge said. “But you probably think that [Drew], if they are truly transgender, you would prefer that [Drew] not be transgender because, in our society, transgender people are the subject of a lot of discrimination. Would you agree with that?”
“I agree that transgender people suffer some discrimination and prejudice. I agree with that,” the father answered.
The father acknowledged that the child “might be” transgender, yet that alone was not enough for the judge to continue his parental rights.
“It sounds to me that you would prefer that [Drew], when all is said and done, is just going through a phase,” the judge said. “Is that a fair assessment?”

Also, trans children and adults have an attempted suicide rate that is exponentially higher than the rest of society.
We need a major lawsuit on those two factors alone.
The father avoided answering the question, believing the judge was trying to trap him, Shrier reported.
“In the three years I’ve spent writing about families with transgender-identifying minors, the story of Ted Hudacko stood out as a case study of how gender ideology has infiltrated family law,” Shrier wrote.
“It also frames the unintended consequences of medical professionals’ fudging science, rewriting medical definitions, and tolerating shoddy research to placate activists. At each stage, doctors may have thought: Where was the harm? And so, as a consequence, judges now decide the fate of children and their families based on phony, medically unsubstantiated metaphysics, as if it were factual that all adolescents have an immutable, ineffable ‘gender identity,’ knowable only to the adolescents themselves.”
Last year, the father was “stunned” to see a $209,820.34 charge on his insurance statement. It was the cost of a puberty-blocking implant and cross-sex hormone treatments.
Meanwhile, the judge failed to disclose that her own child is transgender – and that she, on social media, is publicly supportive. Shrier called it a conflict of interest.
The California Policy Council says the case is a tragic example of “groupthink.”
“The system within our country and state that is meant to protect and establish justice has done the exact opposite,” the council said. “This case should frighten and awaken our entire country. Our own judicial system is under attack by dangerous gender ideology, and if we don’t boldly stand up now, the trend will continue, and parents’ rights will be dependent on their wokeness.”
