Portland-based illustrator Tara Faul was in the courtroom during the trial for Andy Ngo v. Rose City Antifa, et al. earlier this month in Multnomah County, Ore. The talented artist has kindly shared her sketches and drawings with me. 

Some days during the seven-day trial had no photographer because of severe restrictions placed on media access by the court due to security concerns. The trial was marred by repeated security incidents and some have speculated that juror intimidation may have played a role in the verdict. Members of Antifa, including those with riot-related convictions or pending felony cases, were roaming the hallways and even entered the courtroom to try to intimidate me.

Trial defendants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter were found not liable of assault and battery against me, even though Hacker admitted on the stand to one of the attacks.

Two weeks after the verdict was read, a follow-up court hearing resulted in three other defendants being found liable of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress against me. Madison "Denny" Lee Allen, Katherine "Corbyn" Belyea, and Sammich Overkill Schott-Deputy (formerly Joseph Christian Evans)—all trans people — were ordered to pay me $300,000 in damages. The latest court development has caused Antifa to fume and rage.

Collecting on the ruling will be challenging due to the defendants' history of evasion. You can support my legal fund at the Center for American Liberty.

In 2020, I filed a lawsuit with the help of the Center for American Liberty against the alleged antifa militants who attacked me. You might remember some of those violent incidents were caught on camera. 

Benjamin Patrick Bolen and I have reached a settlement.

The court granted an order of default against Madison Lee Allen, Joseph Christian Evans and Corbyn/Katherine Belyea. Rose City Antifa was dismissed by the court on July 14, 2023 on the grounds that an unassociated entity cannot be sued.

The lawsuit against the remaining alleged antifa defendants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter goes to trial later this summer. At the court hearing on July 14, the court denied Hacker and Richter's efforts to be dismissed from the lawsuit.

Planned Parenthood in Canada is upset after the Saskatchewan education minister, Dustin Duncan, suspended them from teaching in schools in the province. It emerged that Planned Parenthood brought a sexually graphic trivia game to a school in Lumsden, Sask. on June 19 that was distributed to children as a resource following a sex education presentation.

The "Using sex: From A–Z Cards" game features cartoon characters and text explaining various sex acts and fetishes, including fecal fetishes and sucking semen from a partner's anus.

The organization's executive director stands by the sex-positive "queer" content brought into the classroom using a loophole where guides do not have to go through a school approval process like a curriculum does. 

“It’s really concerning to me that the resources that are being targeted are resources that are specifically produced by and for LGBTQ2 youth to really demystify sex and sexualities that have been hidden, stigmatized and outlawed at some point in our history that aren’t represented in the curriculum,” Planned Parenthood (Canada) executive director Julian Wotherspoon said in an interview with Global News.

A local concerned parent who called Planned Parenthood about the incident told Western Standard that Wotherspoon said: "[I]t actually makes me happy that you called with this feedback because it means it’s working."

Across North America, parents and mainly conservative groups have heightened their scrutiny of LGBTQIA2S+ or trans ideology and events aimed at children. Numerous videos and photos have emerged from a dozen Pride-related events where public nudity or sex acts are performed in the presence of children. Supporters of the events say queer youth need a sex-positive environment that is affirming of their identities.
