Jewels Stolen & No Deaf-Mute in Gospel
54% of Americans Reject Gender Transition
A news report that has not spread as it should is a recent Gallup poll that concluded the majority of Americans are against gender transition. [See below]
Although it is shameful that a great number support homosexuality, the monstrosity of changing sexes is still rejected by a good number.
I thought you would like to know that Americans still hold this position.
Trump’s policy against transgenders in sports seems to be having some effect.

as ‘morally wrong,’ Gallup poll finds
Belle Carter - 07/28/2025
- A recent Gallup poll indicates that 54 percent of Americans view changing one’s gender as “morally wrong,” highlighting a significant societal divide on transgender issues, with only 40 percent considering it “morally acceptable.”
- The survey reveals a stark partisan split, with 71 percent of Democrats finding gender transition morally acceptable compared to just nine percent of Republicans, reflecting broader ideological differences on LGBTQ+ rights and influencing legislative actions in Republican-led states.
- Public attitudes toward transgender issues are changing rapidly, with a slight decline in moral acceptance of gender transition since 2023 (from 44 percent to 40 percent), while support for same-sex relationships remains steady at 64 percent, suggesting lingering skepticism toward medical interventions.
- Despite moral reservations, 62 percent of Americans oppose outright bans on gender alteration procedures for minors, indicating a preference for nuanced approaches. This contrasts with the 27 states that have banned such procedures, reflecting a contentious debate between proponents of child protection and critics of discriminatory overreach.
- The poll underscores the complexity of reconciling personal beliefs, medical ethics and individual freedoms. Policymakers face the challenge of addressing voter concerns without alienating a vulnerable community, as evidenced by the 66 percent opposition to taxpayer-funded transitions and 56 percent support for prohibiting minor transition procedures.
The June survey, which assessed attitudes toward 20 behaviors, found gender transition less widely accepted than same-sex relations, gambling or medical testing on animals. While 40 percent deemed transitioning “morally acceptable,” the results underscore a growing ideological split – with Democrats far more supportive than Republicans. The findings arrive amid heated debates over youth gender transition surgeries bans and transgender participation in sports, suggesting public opinion may not align with activist-driven policies.
The Gallup survey starkly divided respondents by party: 71 percent of Democrats called transitioning morally acceptable, compared to just nine percent of Republicans. Independents fell in between at 38 percent. These contrasts mirror broader political rifts on LGBTQ+ rights, particularly as legislatures in Republican-led states push restrictions on transgender healthcare and school policies. Notably, despite moral reservations, a May 2024 Gallup poll found 62 percent of Americans oppose outright bans on gender alteration procedures for minors – a nuance suggesting discomfort with both radical acceptance and government prohibitions.
Medical debate and public skepticism
Public perceptions of transgender issues have evolved rapidly, outpacing even the contentious debates over same-sex marriage a decade ago. Gallup’s data shows a slight decline in moral acceptance of gender transition since 2023 (from 44 percent to 40 percent), even as support for gay and lesbian relationships remains steady at 64 percent. This incongruity hints at lingering skepticism toward medical interventions, fueled by high-profile detransitioner stories and controversies over youth transitions. Meanwhile, 27 states have banned gender transition procedures for minors – a movement framed by proponents as child protection but criticized by opponents as discriminatory overreach.
Conservative lawmakers and advocacy groups frequently cite studies showing most children outgrow gender dysphoria without medical intervention, alongside concerns about irreversible puberty blockers or surgeries. Yet major medical associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, endorse individualized, multidisciplinary care for transgender youth, arguing that bans exacerbate mental health risks. The poll’s respondents, however, appear wary: A Cygnal survey in April 2024 found 66 percent oppose taxpayer-funded transitions, while Pew Research reported 56 percent support prohibiting minor transition procedures – signaling distrust in institutional narratives. (Related: Trump DOJ subpoenas doctors and clinics accused of mutilating children in “gender transition” procedures.)
As legislative battles intensify, the Gallup poll exposes a paradox: While most Americans harbor moral reservations about gender transition, many resist outright bans – preferring nuanced solutions over blanket policies. The data underscores the complexity of reconciling personal beliefs, medical ethics and individual freedoms.

No Deaf & Mute in Gospel
What !? Explaining away the Divinity of Jesus Christ... there never was any miracle performed on a man born deaf and dumb? Check below.
How much more proof do we need as to the character and intent of this Prelate placed upon the papal throne?
Christ is being whipped, punched, kicked and crucified again by such statements and who is going to do anything about it? How many abominations are to be shrugged off?
How can God bless us?
E.Z., Ph.D
Christ Invited Deaf-Mute to ’Choose’ to Speak Again
Pope Leo XIV spoke at yesterday’s general audience about the man in Mark 7 who cannot speak or hear: "Just as it can sometimes happen to us, perhaps this man chose not to speak anymore because he did not feel understood; he chose to shut off every voice because he had been disappointed and wounded by what he had heard," Leo XIV said.
He sounded literally like Francis: "Before anything else, Jesus offers him silent closeness, through gestures that speak of a profound encounter: He touches this man’s ears and tongue."
Jesus "invited" the man who had stopped listening and speaking: "It is as if Jesus were saying to him: 'Be opened to this world that frightens you! Be opened to the relationships that have disappointed you! Be opened to the life you have given up facing!'"
After the encounter with Jesus, that person not only begins to speak again and does so plainly.

Salve Maria!
I thought I would pass along this video to you.
Two days ago, this report appeared on Instagram threads:
URGENT // JEWELS FROM THE VIRGIN OF THE ROSARY OF COY STOLEN
Earrings, bracelets, and everything else made of gold, silver, and metal - even costume jewelry - have been stolen. The value of the stolen goods could exceed 8,000 euros.
The criminals even mutilated a finger of the statue to take the ring from the finger.
Coy is in the municipality of Lorca, in the province of Spain.
Video report here
A quick background of facts:
- Recently, Muslims have been terrorizing local Spanish residents, particularly in the province of Murcia.
- There has been a growing resistance of Spanish youth against the Muslims in Torre-Pacheco, which is 55 minutes away from Lorca.
- Lorca’s population is 98,000. Of that 98,000, 21,000 are foreigners (22.4%). The largest group of foreigners are Muslim Morrocans, 10,800, or 11.2%.
So far, no one has ventured to state a guess as to who did the stealing…In Jesu et Maria,
S.B.
