EU now the union of genital mutilation and castration for children

A rather petty algorithm brought to my screen a Le Monde article (Europe’s most discredited newspaper, second only perhaps to El País) lamenting the “odious neutrality” of the Hungarian government, which bans the display of rainbow symbols on public buildings. As irony would have it, I came across this nonsense while in Brussels during “Pride Month,” near the headquarters of the European External Action Service, which is adorned with two massive banners of the latest “Progress Pride Flag” and surrounded by rainbow-painted pedestrian crossings. Yet another example of the ever-present rainbow privilege that has colonised public space. 

The next day brought another headline: The Advocate General of the European Court of Justice stated in her opinion that the Hungarian law protecting minors from the promotion of homosexuality, pornography, and gender ideology is contrary to the common values of the union. Legally, these opinions are not binding, but one need not be Nostradamus to predict that in a few months the court will adopt them and rule that banning the indoctrination and sexualisation of minors is itself forbidden. It will be the definitive confirmation that the EU has converted to the rainbow cult and is firmly intent on imposing it on all Member States. 

The more naïve will celebrate this as a victory for inclusion and diversity over intolerance, continuing to hide behind these foolish slogans so that reality doesn’t ruin their dystopia of performative virtue. Why can’t one just “love whomever they want”? For many reasons — all of them rather obvious. First, because one can only “love” adults; “loving” children is a monstrosity called paedophilia, no matter how some try to whitewash this disgrace by invoking a child’s “consent,” referring to paedophiles as “minor-attracted persons,” or claiming, as The New York Times has, that paedophilia is not a crime. Second, because we already know full well that behind the euphemism of “gender-affirming care” lies the sordid reality of genital mutilation, hormone injections, and chemical castration of vulnerable minors — often autistic — who frequently come to regret it and, in many cases, end up taking their own lives. A medical scandal without precedent, one that the West will one day regard with even greater shame than it feels today over eugenics. Third, because they are targeting children and have no qualms about trampling their innocence by sexualising them in the most perverse and crude ways. And fourth, because claiming that biological sex is a “social construct” and that perception overrides reality is a colossal and idiotic lie. Should we start teaching children that the Earth is flat just to avoid offending flat-earthers? 

For now, gender fanaticism remains hegemonic within the EU, just as it was in the United States until only a few months ago. That’s why the European Commission launched an infringement procedure against Hungary in 2023, why 17 countries — nearly all from Western Europe — supported it, and why the Court of Justice will soon sanctify gender fanaticism as a “common value.” In this way, the EU will promote these delusions while punishing those who prohibit them, completing a long process. A quick look at the past five years is enough to see that this evolution is no coincidence. In 2020, the commission pledged in its LGBTIQ Action Plan to promote gender identity “without age limits.” In 2022, it pushed for a parenthood certificate to whitewash surrogacy and impose the recognition of rainbow families across all Member States, under the rallying cry: “If you’re a parent in one country, you’re a parent in every country.” 

Meanwhile, the Court of Justice has continued its offensive: Forcing Member States to legally recognise “rainbow families” even when it contradicts their civil codes; affirming “gender identity” under the pretext of data protection; eliminating the categories of “Mr.” and “Mrs.” when buying train tickets because they are not “objectively indispensable”; and imposing recognition across Europe of a newly acquired “gender identity” from the United Kingdom — years after Brexit. But the final flourish was still missing: to elevate the rainbow cult to the status of an ideological dogma and impose it urbi et orbi across the entire union, without relying on legal gymnastics to do so. The commission demands that gender identity become a matter of principle, 17 Member States support it, and the Advocate General is practically shouting for it. And what better pretext than the Hungarian law protecting minors? What better opportunity for Brussels to expand its competences and claim moral authority over an entire continent — without any mandate? What greater arrogance than to impose an anti-child ideology by striking down a law that protects them? 

Let’s not be naïve: if the Court confirms the Advocate General’s opinion, it will be definitive proof that the EU has transformed into an authoritarian progressive club where conservatives have no place and will be persecuted. It will mark the first step in establishing a legal and financial cordon sanitaire against the recalcitrant, and the beginning of a woke schism that will divide Europe between authoritarian woke centralists and defenders of freedom and subsidiarity. And the EU will become nothing more than a rainbow-cracy — of the authoritarian kind, to be precise.
