What readers are saying

“Queer Theory is the distillation of the most toxic intellectual poisons of our age. If it were just the personal philosophy of a few eccentrics, we could ignore it. But, as Logan Lancing and James Lindsay show, it has all the marks of a cult whose adherents have access to most of our children—from inner-city public schools to the most expensive prep schools. If we want to defeat this cult and protect the next generation, we must inoculate our children against it. The Queering of the American Child will give you the medicine to do that. Read this book and take its lessons to heart—before it’s too late.”

— Jay Richards, Ph.D., Director, Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family and the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in American Principles and Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation

“As someone who regrets being trans, I wish I had read this book before I went through the surgery and hormones. If I had understood how queer theory functions as a religious cult, I wouldn't have thought transition was a safe or effective way to treat my mental health issues.”

— Laura Becker, speaker, writer, detransitioner

“Lancing and Lindsay deftly expose the philosophy that pushes the indoctrination of children, and the separation of children from parents, in this terrifying but deeply necessary new book.”

— Karol Markowicz, columnist for the New York Post and Fox News, born in the USSR

“Even as someone who is quite aware of what is happening, this book was still eye opening for me. I swear, if everyone read this book, the whole trans debate would end instantly.”

— Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, anti-Woke clinical social worker and author

The Queering of the American Child is a compelling must-read for every person scratching their head and wondering what on earth has happened to society in recent years. This book provides an incisive account of the devastating influence of Queer Theory both within pedagogy and psychology. If you want to understand Queer Theory and how it impacts, read this book.”

— Stella O’Malley, Psychotherapist, writer, president of Genspect

“I really think this is an extremely important book. The Christian community is totally ignorant of the things it addresses. This book meets the need of the hour. If you have a pulse, you need to read this book.”

— Rev. Andy Woodard, Pastor, Providence Reformed Baptist Church, NY, NY

The Queering of the American Child is one of the most honest, candid, and blunt treatments of the Queer Theory movement you will ever come across. With unmitigated courage and conviction, Lancing and Lindsay audaciously exposit the diabolical tenets that comprise the Queer Theory agenda in a way that leaves no ambiguity as to its injurious aims and designs for society’s children.”

— Darrell B. Harrison, member of the pastoral staff at Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, Arizona, and cohost of the Just Thinking podcast

“Lancing's Queering of the American Child explains the genesis of queer theory and queer activism and how it has infiltrated so many institutions, from government, to our courts, and perhaps most worrisome, into the classrooms of our youth. His well sourced book should be a wake-up call to us all as this theory and their activists see queering our children as their moral duty, and will not rest until they've succeeded.”

— Jennifer Lahl, filmmaker and Founder, Center for Bioethics & Culture Network

“The parallels discussed in this book between what’s happening in today’s schools and Marxists influenced writings from the past are made so clear and comprehensive. Everyone who wants to understand how we got here needs to read this book.”

— Jessica Graham, Programs Director, Moms for Liberty

“The Queering of the American Child is a book that needed to be written because the issues at stake are crucial ones. The authors have done their work well. Every parent, educator, and administrator needs to carefully consider what this book presents.”

— Michael O’Fallon, founder of Sovereign Nations

The Queering of the American Child is the most powerful and devastating examination to date of the dangerous cult that is brainwashing, recruiting, and mutilating American children by the millions. The evil agenda is laid bare on every page, along with the facts and evidence needed for parents and taxpayers to stop this monstrous movement in its tracks.”

— Alex Newman, journalist, educator, author of Indoctrinating Our Children to Death

“Like getting a cancer diagnosis, this book is terrifyingly necessary. Queer activism is a fast-moving, widespread disease in the American school system. Unless it is decisively exposed and radiated, it will infect our kids and grandkids with devastating effects that will last for generations. This book is the radiation the whole system needs. No matter who you are, you need what it says. Give it to administrators and school board members. I hope it has the widest possible reading. The stakes are that high!”

— Dr. Jon Benzinger, Lead Pastor, Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, Arizona

“I just finished reading the book, The Queering of the American Child, and it is AMAZING! I feel like all of these bits and pieces of knowledge I have were put together to complete a puzzle. The more I learn, the more I am determined to fight this battle for our children, and reading this book fueled that fire even more.”

— Janice Danforth, Moms for Liberty chapter chair, Tulsa County, OK

“The cult of Queer Theory cannot be opposed without a clear eyed understanding of its origins, aims, and manners of manipulation. The Queering of the American Child lays bare all of the above and brings great clarity to a topic known for being intentionally bewildering. Lancing and Lindsay have done us a great service in doing their homework and carefully sifting through reams of Queer Theory literature. The result is a fascinating, illuminating, and seminal read.”
