The new “ex-gay” world is basically the same as the old “ex-gay” universe. All that’s changed is the addition of a few modern phrases cooked up in focus groups. waynebesen.substack.com/p/the-infamo...

Michigan’s Jewish community is in an unenviable position. Do they vote for Mike Rogers, a MAGA rubber stamp? Or do they vote for El-Sayed, knowing his success ensures Democrats run 100 more candidates in his mold—driving Jewish voters from the Dem Party? waynebesen.substack.com/p/the-anguis...

What a beautiful kitty 🐈‍⬛ I met today.

“20 years ago, we rejected the insulting premise that LGBTQ people needed to be fixed,” said TWO's founder Wayne Besen. “We decided it was the organizations peddling shame and selling counterfeit cures that needed an intervention.” truthwinsout.org/truth-wins-o...

Russia conducted several brutal strikes in Ukraine, killing 22 people including three babies in an apartment block on Wednesday and at least 30 people in a bus on Thursday. Where is the global outrage? Where are the massive protests? Oh, that’s right—Gazaholics only care about attacking Israel.

Get money out of politics: Elon Musk is the largest donor to Republican causes. The roughly $276 million he directed to groups during July, August and September means his tab for the 2026 elections is now about $366 million. His interference is obscene. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Uganda was the anointed baby for America’s right-wing evangelicals. They nurtured it with love and provided money so it could advance their theocratic agenda. Now their Christian progeny has grown up into an authoritarian monster terrorizing its citizens. waynebesen.substack.com/p/american-e...

“The Global Intifada is starting to exhibit the contours of a hate movement,” said TWO’s Wayne Besen. “The protesters’ total contempt for anyone who does not share their beliefs and their dearth of empathy was unacceptable and beyond the pale.” truthwinsout.org/two-condemns...

At first blush the “Free Palestine” movement appears to have momentum. In reality, it has been an abject failure that is going nowhere fast. Never in human history has a cause received so much publicity yet achieved so few results. waynebesen.substack.com/p/the-pro-pa...

Never Forget

Donahue is the latest in a long line of generals and admirals Trump has removed, without explanation and without any evidence of misconduct. Some were political targets, and the list is heavily weightedtoward women and minorities. Hegseth must go. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/o...

While Vance’s morals are certainly malleable, he does appear to have a few very scary core beliefs that happen to align with the totalitarian Project 2025. He is one of them--and a committed soldier in their unamerican Holy War. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

"JD Vance is parroting a bizarre conspiracy theory promoted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the Claremont Institute, two radical Project 2025 organizations,” said Truth Wins Out’s Executive Director Wayne Besen. truthwinsout.org/jd-vances-ri...

"While the majority of patriots are celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday, we have right-wing Project 2025 groups laboring to end the American experiment. ‘Behind the Mask’ helps us fight back and thwart their radical vision to disfigure American democracy.” truthwinsout.org/two-releases...

Congressional investigations are needed to determine if Two-Faced Tulsi jeopardized national security. Tulsi Gabbard is a cult puppet, who appears to have taken direct orders from her bizarre, secretive cult guru. Did she share classified information? www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

It turns out creating Israel was the right decision—as some European habits are hard to break. Mobs in Belfast, Ireland, wearing balaclavas, stormed immigrant neighborhoods. The victims this time were Sudanese instead of Jews. Why? Only because we weren’t there. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

JD Vance is a Putz. He’s a Russian puppet, a pedophile protector, EU bashing, Project 2025 coddling, couch loving loser. The Iran “deal” sucks—and Vance miserably failed with his role in negotiations.

It’s difficult to see how the U.S. or the world benefited from Trump’s Great Persian Adventure. He pumped our homes full of lies and propaganda, while hurting American consumers at the gas pump. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

The answer to a broken political culture is not to accept it. Demand better from those entrusted with power or seeking it. Enough is enough. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The moment a Nazi tattoo was discovered on Democratic Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner’s body his candidacy should have ended. Not too long ago, all Democrats understood this. Today, that is no longer the case. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

Bari Weiss is a thin-skinned, bootlicking loser who destroyed CBS. Scott Pelley is a hero who bravely spoke truth to power. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/b...

When Dems stupidly nominate a fool with a history of misogynistic statements and a Nazi tattoo—then act MAGA by dismissing the disgusting behavior—they should not be shocked when Platner turns out to be a lowlife. Shame on those who demanded we support this pig. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Alan Chambers will likely be sent to prison to pay for his alleged crimes. However, the evangelical and fundamentalist churches are culpable for creating a broken system that enables people like Chambers to run exploitative youth programs. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

Chambers will likely be sent to prison to pay for his alleged crimes. However, evangelical and fundamentalist churches are culpable for creating a broken system that enables people like Chambers to run exploitative youth programs. Will they reform their evil ways? open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

Why are taxpayers lavishly funding Trump’s political prayer rally on the National Mall? “Rededicate 250” is a Christian Nationalist bacchanal. It’s DEI for fundamentalists—essentially Fundie Pride. It’s the type of identity politics MAGA claims to abhor. www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

What Eurovision told us: The broadcasters can boycott, the artists can sign letters, the newspapers can write framing, and the activists can organize. And the public, in private, will still vote for the Jew. open.substack.com/pub/henmazzi...

The Pro-Palestine movement could have embraced justice. Instead, it foolishly chose to demonize diaspora Jews. However, can anyone say that this increasingly radicalized movement has improved the lives of a single Palestinian? open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

The submission demonstrates that if Hamas had not committed these war crimes and other crimes against the Palestinian people, the client’s family and countless other Palestinians would be alive today. www.jpost.com/middle-east/...

“This [conversion therapy] is far greater of an issue than just the people who are harmed by this psychological voodoo. This is something that is designed to diminish our community so punitive laws can be passed to hurt us and justify it.” outsfl.com/feature/lgbt...

“Jason Collins was a trailblazer whose bravery transcended basketball,” said TWO's Wayne Besen. “By courageously coming out while still an active NBA player, he demonstrated extraordinary character and helped move our nation closer to equality." truthwinsout.org/two-mourns-t...

This is why a free press is essential to democracy—especially in times of war. Leaders must be held accountable when they lie. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

The U.S. is the only industrialized nation not to have paid family leave as a federal benefit. Yet—so many politicians prattle on about “family values”. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

“The most important finding is the fact that the sexual violence on October 7 and against hostages in captivity has been a calculated strategy by Hamas,” lead author and human rights expert Cochav Elkayam-Levy told CNN. www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/m...

Absolutely, 100% unequivocally true. It must end.

Whether it’s prosecuting his opponents, harassing civil society organizations, enforcing loyalty within his MAGA cult, undermining national security or ripping off American taxpayers while enriching himself, Trump is America’s greatest menace. open.substack.com/pub/waynebes...

“The European Parliament has demonstrated true leadership by recognizing that conversion therapy is not a form of ‘speech’ or ‘therapy’—it is a form of quackery defined by consumer fraud and psychological torture,” said Truth Wins Out Executive Director Wayne Besen. truthwinsout.org/two-lauds-eu...
