The title of today's broadcast is a trick question, in essence a mental trap. The use of the question "Does sex make us human?" is intended to help every American become aware that the United States Supreme Court believes this premise and is making rulings based upon it.

For the purpose of defining law, the Supreme Court is now operating upon the premise that sexuality defines humanity. States and local communities are acting upon those edicts and school children are now at ground zero in a civil war over sexual identity.

This issue will impact civil and religious liberties for every family, church, school, corporation and community for a generation to come. And it is happening right before our eyes. Tune in today to this very important discussion on The Public Square®.
