Sometimes truth in advertising really does exist. On Monday in Boise, members of the Satanic Temple gathered inside the Idaho State Capitol rotunda to protest Idaho lawmakers wanting ban child sex reassignment surgeries and puberty blockers for minors.
What better way to “honor” the Devil than by demanding the mutilation of innocent children remain legal?
The bill being protested is called the “Vulnerable Child Protection Act.” The bill was introduced by Republican state Rep. Bruce Skaug and would make offering puberty blockers or transgender surgery for minors a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, according to Fox News.
The legislation also aims to protect “children from harmful pharmaceutical and surgical interventions for the purpose of changing the appearance of a child’s sex,” but does not apply to medically necessary treatments, according to the Idaho Family Policy Center.
A blue-haired woman opens the so-called ritual claims they will be “light bringers to their community” and “adversaries against injustice.” She also vows they will not shut up, even against opponents who “mean to silence us.”
The woman goes on to say “bodily autonomy is sacred” for children who wish to permanently alter their gender. She pledges the Satanists will fight back against “oppressors of this value.”
“Hail Satan to that,” she says while throwing up devil horns. She then tells the Satanic crowd to write down their “dead names,” “dead pronouns,” “false identities,” and “whatever doesn’t serve you anymore.”

The woman next tells her fellow Devil-worshippers to close their eyes and “reflect on this act.” She then instructs them to open their eyes and tear up the pieces of paper to put in a jar.
She pours water into the glass jar and later shakes it with dirt added in. “I take all of these forced false identities and watch them dissipate into the waters of self-compassion,” she says.
The woman finishes her speech by again giving a devil horns gesture and telling the crowd to “f**k the haters” and to praise Satan and themselves.
“We are forged in hellfire… you are reclaiming yourselves…
You are your own master.

Counter-protesters confront the Satanists after the speech, calling the communists and anti-American. Unlike the left, conservatives refrain from violence and tell the truth.
Post ritual arguments.

Little to no confrontations took place due to heavy police presence and keeping larger crowd separate outside.@DrewHLive… https://t.co/98Z34KqJTz pic.twitter.com/Yha78bm9an

May the good people of Idaho prevail in their efforts to safeguard their children.
