About a month after his original post, Mr. Neufeld spoke at a rally
organized by a group called Culture Guard, which has a mandate to end the “political
tyranny of politically-correct idiotology” (A.R., vol. IV, at p. 70). As part of its efforts,
Culture Guard seeks to “STOP SOGI 123” (p. 87). During his speech, Mr. Neufeld
described SOGI 123 as “an institutionalization of codependency: encouraging and
enabling dysfunctional behavior and thinking patterns” and as “coddling and
encouraging what I regard as the sexual addiction of gender confusion” (A.R., vol. V,
at p. 10). He claimed that using SOGI 123 resources in classrooms amounts to
“[g]aslighting” and an “attack [on] the foundation of a child’s being which is child
abuse” (p. 10).
