Child Endangerment
News Release from Honolulu County Republican Party, July 12, 2025
The Hawaii State LGBTQ+ Commission is proposing that Governor Green sign an executive order to declare Hawaii a sanctuary state for "gender-affirming care." This move would allow minors to undergo irreversible medical procedures, such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries, often without full parental knowledge or consent.
It is crucial to understand the gravity of this situation. These procedures, which are being pushed under the guise of "gender-affirming care," are nothing short of a travesty and a tragedy happening in one. The reality is that these interventions can lead to lifelong consequences, including permanent sterilization, increased risk of medical complications, and irreversible changes to the body.
Many people in Hawaii, who hold conservative values, are strongly against this proposal. It is deeply insulting to think that our government would support and allow young children to undergo these horrific, life-altering surgeries. The idea of minors as young as 13 or 14 being subjected to double mastectomies or the removal of healthy sex organs is simply unconscionable.
This radical agenda is rooted in Queer Theory, an ideology that rejects the biological reality of male and female and seeks to deconstruct the very concept of gender. It is not about health; it is about dismantling identity and severing children from the protection of their families. This proposal represents a dangerous ideology, not a legitimate public health policy.
Hawaii's keiki deserve protection, not permanent harm. They deserve guidance, not confusion. Love, not ideology. Parents should not be pushed aside while the state sanctions irreversible decisions that will haunt these children for life.
If this order is signed, Hawaii will become a sanctuary for castrating and sterilizing children—a hub for medical exploitation that violates both parental rights and basic human decency. It is essential that we, as a community, stand together to oppose this alarming development and protect the well-being and future of our children.
Mahalo for taking the time to learn about this critical issue. Let us work together to ensure that Hawaii remains a place where our keiki are cherished, protected, and guided with love and wisdom.
