Christian conservative Linda Harvey has
criticized TIME for featuring transgender actress Laverne Cox on its
cover.
Cox is a transgender woman playing the
part of a transgender woman in the Netflix hit series Orange is
the New Black. She is also a vocal transgender rights advocate.
Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WND.com, described Cox as “a male that dresses
as a female actress” in remarks to her listeners.
“I think America is quickly moving
into chaotic territory where we are blessing and approving behaviors
that so completely defy reality and the will of God that the
consequences will be devastating, especially to kids,” Harvey
said.
“If Satan were to devise a strategy
to confuse and undermine the moral base of America, he could not have
chosen a better vehicle than pushing gender confusion, which is just
the latest offshoot of the homosexual movement.”
