Nothing says “Halloween” like a party for children sponsored by surgeons offering to cut off healthy body parts.

But at San Diego’s La Costa Heights Elementary, that’s just what the K-6 school is offering.

On Oct. 29, the school plans to host “Boo Bash,” billed as the “Queerest Free Halloween Party For Youth and Families,” according to a Sept. 12 email sent out by the school and obtained by The Epoch Times.

The event will include a “family friendly” drag show, games, trick-or-treating, and a costume contest, the email states.

But the spookiest part of Boo Bash is the sponsor list.

The poster prominently features Align Surgical Associates Inc., a sex-change surgery company.

The practice’s website offers “gender-affirming” surgeries to transform women so they appear like men, and men so they appear like women. Surgeons also offer services to men and women to change their bodies to look neither male or female.

To accomplish goals like these, Align offers about 22 different surgery procedures, from breast or penis removal to the creation of a “vagina,” the website explains.

Other surgeries offer facial reconstruction to change a gendered appearance, and shuffling fat around the body to create womanly curves or manly angles. The practice also offers “nullification” surgeries to “smooth” the outside of the body, removing as much evidence of genitals as possible.

“Nullification creates a relatively continuous and mostly unbroken transition from the abdomen down into the genital area, enabling gender non-conforming patients to enjoy a body that looks closer on the outside to the way they feel on the inside,” the website reads.

The Epoch Times contacted Align Surgical Associates requesting an interview, but the group declined to comment.

Clubbing for Kids

Another sponsor for the elementary school Halloween party is Rich’s, a gay nightclub for adults 21 and up.

One review on TripAdvisor said Rich’s allows drug use. Several reviews on Yelp mentioned the bar’s exotic dancers.

“Rich’s is San Diego’s largest and most popular gay nightclub,” the website reads.

The event’s organizer is the activist group TransFamily Support Services, a pro-transgender organization.

“TransFamily Support Services saves lives by shaping a gender-affirming and accepting Community,” its mission statement reads.

The site advises parents to agree with a child who identifies as transgender.

“My Transgender or Non-Binary Tween/Teen Wants to Meet with a Doctor to Discuss Medical Transitions Options—What Should I Expect?” one heading on the site reads.

Additional sponsors of the event include: San Diego gay neighborhood Fabulous Hillcrest, San Diego Pride, North County LGBTQ Resource Center, and San Diego’s soccer club.

The sponsor list for Boo Bash sparked concern from Thomas More Society special counsel Paul Jonna.

“I think it’s questionable, to be honest, that a surgical facility can basically advertise its services in this context to minor children ages kindergarten through sixth grade,” Jonna said. “Promoting sexually deviant lifestyles and exposing them to this sort of madness at a young age obviously seems morally wrong.”

Jonna added that he believes advertising nightclubs and sex changes to children is illegal. He’s still researching the subject.

The Thomas More Society also will research the event and the degree of correspondence that La Costa Heights Elementary had with the sponsor organizations, Jonna said.

If the school has acted unlawfully, the Thomas More Society will attempt to stop the event, he added.

“There’s lots of bizarre things about this event,” he said.

But it’s just one of a slew of events organized nationwide recently to promote “family friendly drag” and other LGBT events to children.

Event organizers’ “motives seem to be to indoctrinate these young kids at an early age to get them to sympathize with this extreme, perverse ideology,” Jonna said. “I’m not sure how anyone can think this is normal or good.”

Some LGBT activists argue that children should learn from an early age to see gender identity as a choice. They also believe children should consider changing the gender they were “assigned at birth” if it would make them more comfortable.

The Epoch Times reached out to La Costa Heights Elementary, but received no response by press time.
