Texas’ Far-left Senate Candidate Talarico: “God Is Non-binary.” Church Library Offers Homosexual Grooming Books to Kids.
The far-left Texas Democrat running against GOP candidate Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate isn’t just a callow fellow, as the old Broadway song goes. James Talarico also has kooky opinions on the Christian religion and an obsession with promoting homosexual activity and anti-science “trans” ideology.
Aside from spouting all the usual leftist bromides, Talarico, a member of the Texas House of Representatives with a master’s degree in divinity, says that God is “non-binary” and speaks of “neighbors with a uterus.” He thinks “trans women” — the mentally ill men who think they are women — need abortions. And Jesus Christ, he says, is a “radical feminist.”
As well, the library at his church features “trans” and homosexual propaganda and pornography, and touts a book that says “God is queer.”
Perverted Book Selection
While he claims that opponent Paxton, now Texas’ attorney general, is “the most corrupt politician in America” who “embodies the broken system we’re running against,” Talarico, 37, seems a bit too obsessed with promoting sexual perversion, and apparently doesn’t care if the church he attends promotes it, too.
The Daily Wire uncovered just what that church — St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin — is peddling to the kids who attend it.
The church bills itself as one of “open minds, open hearts, and open hands,” whatever that means. Its website video opens with a banner that explains “Love Thy Neighbor. No Exceptions!” and is adorned with the usual symbols of far-left ideology, notably the “trans” and homosexual rainbow flags.
A photo over its link for “What makes St. A’s special?” declares that “no human is illegal.”
Its library includes books that groom children into homosexual behavior and other perversions.
The “children have access to a library stocked with ‘banned books’ that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex,” a Daily Wire review revealed:
Books found in the St. Andrew’s catalog include the book “Gender Queer,” which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” which discusses anal rape and incest.
“This Book Is Gay,” has a chapter on the “ins and outs of gay sex,” while the book “Becoming Nicole” tells the story of a gender-confused teen boy who identifies as girl with the support of his family. In “The Courage to Be Queer,” the author claims that “God is queer.”
Other books in the church catalog include “Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth,” “Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Presbyterians,” and “Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family.”
At its website, the church explains why it keeps “banned books” (which really aren’t “banned”) available for kids:
We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. … As a church, we feel it’s important to make these books available to the community.
The church is a “progressive Christian community,” its website says, and must provide such books because “reading stories written by people with identities and life experiences different from our own helps us shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people.”
So, of course, the kiddies must read books that importune them to dabble in homosexual sodomy and mutilate their genitals if they wrongly believe they are the “wrong sex.”
Talarico’s Words
But back to Talarico. Along with his obsession with sexual perversion, his kooky take on the Christian faith might be one reason that Paxton calls him “Six-Gender Jimmy” and “James Tala-FREAKO,” as The Daily Wire reported. Talarico has adopted all the conventional left-wing positions that put him at odds not only with the Bible, but also with about 90 percent of normal Americans.
In 2021, he opposed a bill to keep boys who pretend to be girls out of women’s sports. And he used the Bible to justify his opposition, claiming that proponents used Scripture to “justify hurting children.”
“The first two lines in Genesis use two different Hebrew words to describe God,” Talarico said:
One is the masculine Hebrew noun for “divinity.” The second is the feminine Hebrew noun for “spirit.” God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non-binary.
In Genesis 1:26, God speaks of God’s self in the plural, saying, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” That’s the infinite multitude of God — the masculine, the feminine, and everything in between. Trans children are God’s children, made in God’s own image. There’s nothing wrong with them. Nothing at all. They are perfect. They are beautiful. And they are sacred. Bullying children is immoral. It’s a sin, a special kind of sin.
In November 2022, Talarico sermonized on the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of the unconstitutional 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized the mass murder of the unborn.
“This summer, more than half of our population became second-class citizens,” he said:
Every one of our neighbors with a uterus became the property of the state. And nothing, nothing is more unchristian than that.
Nutty as that sounded, he then averred that “our trans community needs abortion care too.”
“When I use the word woman, it should not be understood as an exhaustive term,” Talarico said, “but rather as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy.”
During that same sermon, he allowed that “the story of Mary is my favorite story in all of scripture” because “we only have Jesus because a woman consented to creating him. The story of Jesus begins with a single, simple, extraordinary act of feminism.”
And Jesus, he said, was “radical feminist.”
Talarico said much the same thing during an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who urged him to run for president because he is a “good person.”
