On this special episode of The Narrative, Riley Gaines and Chloe Cole joined CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews for a LIVE recording at our 2024 Cincinnati Celebration Gala!

While Riley and Chloe have become passionate advocates for women, children, and our inherent dignity as men and women made in God's image, their testimony has come at a cost.

Listen in to hear their first-hand experiences as victims of the LGBT movement, how they were led to become such effective advocates, and what we all can do to help ensure what happened to them doesn't happen to any more women and children.

More about Riley Gaines

Riley Gaines, a 12 time All-American swimmer with 5 SEC titles, was a successful female swimmer at University of Kentucky with ambitions to pursue a dental degree. That post-graduate ambition and her entire life was changed when she was forced to share a locker room and then compete against biological male Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship.

That moment became her call to action – to defend and protect America’s daughters against the woke left and their gender-denying ideology. 

More about Chloe Cole

Chloe Cole, a poised and articulate 19-year-old young woman, passionately advocates against the practice of transitioning minors.

Driven by a noble mission to safeguard children from potentially harmful ideologies and medical interventions, Chloe draws from her personal experiences to shed light on the distressing consequences of gender-affirming care for adolescents.

Having embarked on her own transition journey at the tender age of 12, only to subsequently detransition at 16, Chloe speaks with firsthand authority on the deeply traumatic effects experienced by minors undergoing such treatments.
