The 'Activist Mommy' burned a copy of Teen Vogue in 2017

A Christian mum has burned a copy of Teen Vogue magazine because it mentions anal sex and homosexuality.

The most recent issue of the magazine included an article written by sex educator Gigi Engle that has been met with fury from Christian puritans.

The guide to anal sex, which was aimed at “teens, beginners, and all inquisitive folk”, included a strong emphasis on how to have safe, pain-free and consensual sex.

However, it has been ripped into by evangelicals.

One furious parent is Elizabeth Johnston, a Christian mother who has a large social media following as ‘The Activist Mommy’.

Johnson, who homeschools her ten children, uploaded a video in which she publicly burns a copy of the magazine.

She explained: “I cannot believe what this Teen Vogue piece of trash has printed.

“They are teaching children how to be safely sodomized. They are teaching kids how to have anal intercourse. We should not be teaching children, period, how to have sex.

“Look at what’s in this magazine for teenagers. How to masturbate, all about homosexual sex, gender fluidity.

Looking at a picture of Lena Dunham wearing a suit, she adds: “Oh yeah, real role models for our teenagers!”

The mother said: “Go to your local gas stations, your local libraries, your local grocery stores, ask to speak to the manager or owner, and demand they remove Teen Vogue from the shelves immediately.

“These editors’ brains are in the gutter, now let’s put their sales in the gutter where they belong. Don’t let your kids read garbage.”



Johnston slowly rips up a copy of the magazine, throwing it page by page onto a bonfire.

Frankly, we’re not sure what kind of example setting fire to things in public sets for children.

Fire is dangerous, kids!

Of course, not all Christian mums are so closed minded.
