For years now, many of us have been warning America that freedoms of religion, speech, conscience and association and homosexual “rights” cannot coexist; they are by nature mutually exclusive. This is becoming clearer by the minute, as the radical homosexual movement has taken super flight under the ever-darkening reign of the pro-homosexual Barack Obama (or whatever his name is).
The homosexual movement is part of a larger push toward tyranny that has its roots in the spirit realm. Ephesians 6:12 clearly spells out the real battle:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
While we certainly have human enemies aligned against us, our true enemies are Satan, his demons and the spiritual wickedness of those in places of great power. As Christians, we have read the end-times prophecies, and we know the warnings Jesus gave us about how awful things will become in the last days. Satan is working feverishly to fully cement his terrible, earthly rule and bring those hellish days to fruition.
The Godless communists (or fascists, if you prefer) are using the homosexual agenda to work toward eradicating Christian opposition to their plans, which are Satan’s plans. If you know your Bible, then you know that Christianity is destined to be outlawed. We are moving steadily toward a time when Christians here in America will be in danger of state-sanctioned murder for their beliefs. If you think I exaggerate, then you don’t know what God has already told us, or perhaps you mistakenly believe that the United States is the exception, that it can’t happen here. Christians throughout the world have always been persecuted, but here in the United States, we have enjoyed unparalleled protection and freedom during the existence of our nation. That protection is quickly being eroded, and the homosexuals are used as pawns in this process.
Peter LaBarbera, a former journalist for the Washington Times and founder and President of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), has an outstanding column at WorldNetDaily that plainly illustrates the fact that Christian liberty and homosexual “rights” cannot coexist. In the column, titled, “‘Gay’ Power vs. Religious Liberty,” he also compiles a long, sickening list of examples of Christian persecution at the hands of homosexualists, leftist courts and outrageous state laws that protect homosexual behavior while robbing the freedoms of those who conscientiously object. In part, he writes:
“The legal struggle for queer rights will one day be a struggle between freedom of religion versus sexual orientation.” – Canadian lesbian lawyer Barbara Finlay, quoted by columnist John Leo and Janet Folger (Porter), “The Criminalization of Christianity”
There is a war between homosexual “rights” and Americans’ religious and First Amendment freedoms – and the “gay” activists are winning.
The “zero-sum game” is how homosexual activist law professor and Obama EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) appointee Chai Feldblum describes the legal battles between modern “rights” based on homosexual “orientation” (read: behavior) and the traditional American principle of religious liberty.
“Gays win, Christians lose,” Feldblum said, predicting homosexuals would win most of the legal contests. She is proving to be correct, as the news for Americans with traditional values gets worse by the year, due to rapidly escalating homosexual and transgender activist power in the legal, cultural, political and corporate arenas.
Mr. LaBarbera also points out that not all the battles we face are related to the homosexual “marriage” fight:
These victims of escalating “Gay Tyranny” in America are not all tied to the question of homosexual “marriage.” Indeed, well before “gay marriage” came on the scene as a “mainstream” issue, pro-homosexual “sexual orientation” laws and corporate pro-LGBT policies were victimizing and punishing Christians and other moral opponents of homosexuality. And those laws are invariably used to argue for homosexuality-based “marriage.” The homosexualist agenda moves ahead incrementally, but “sexual orientation” laws and policies – and their philosophical presupposition that homosexuality is about innate “identity” (“who you are”) rather than changeable, wrong and aberrant behaviors (“what you do”) – is the foundation for the entire far-reaching LGBT agenda.
There is much more to Mr. LaBarbera’s piece, and I strongly recommend that you read it, along with all the examples of Christian persecution he cites in the second part of the column. It will give you ammunition against the idiot claims of leftists who declare that there is no such thing as a “homosexual movement” and that Christians are not being targeted by homosexual activists. Those lies are easily debunked.
Even so, we are losing this battle, and there are numerous reasons why. Brian Camenker, of MassResistance, wrote a report titled, “Lessons Learned from the Hawaii ‘Gay Marriage’ Fight.” Homosexual “marriage” was forced on the people of Hawaii by a group of leftist politicians, despite massive opposition by the residents of the state who demanded that the issue be put to a vote by the people, instead of rammed through legislatively. This is another important column that you should take a few moments to read. In his piece, Mr. Camenker lays out the battle as it stands and makes sobering observations, on which he expounds, including the:
-Huge forces stacked against us in these battles
-Huge, well-organized lobbying blitzkrieg by the homosexual movement
-Enormous amounts of pro-homosexual money coming in
-The mainstream media's non-stop PR campaign
-Almost no support from national conservative movement
Mr. Camenker goes on to describe the astonishing battle by the people of Hawaii against this monstrous move by their leftist lawmakers. He also lays out lessons and strategies that we must implement to fight this homosexual juggernaut that is devouring the rights and freedoms of the American people.
Yes, this is a steeply uphill battle, but we should never quit fighting it. The prince of the power of the air, Satan, is successfully crafting a deceptively pro-homosexual atmosphere in our nation, from the media, to entertainment, to corporations and all major institutions. This causes many people to fear standing in opposition to the militant homosexual agenda and its activists, because of their track record of hostility, even violence, toward those who oppose them. Many conservative groups and churches fear the vicious vitriol of homosexuals and their supporters in our twisted culture, and that’s really a shame. Fear is a debilitating force if we give it sway over us.
We must stand, as much as ever, against this degenerate and tyrannical homosexual movement, and in so doing, we must not lose sight of the real nature of the battle. It’s a spiritual battle, and we must approach it as such, putting on the full armor of God, as best we can, if we are to have any hope of turning back this truly evil tide.

Same objectives since the 60s.
When you attempt to use the law to restrict the freedom of others, it is only natural that they respond in kind.
That's why reciprocity—the Golden Rule—is a higher law.
Thanks you for posting in full from the various sources at which you write.
From all of my research, the homosexual/LGBT community comprises between 2 and 3% of the population. Very few gay people are interested in activism. We are talking about a miniscule percent of the population.
Most of them are not rich. Who and what groups are funding all of this activism. It ain’t cheap. We need to shed light on the people behind the curtain and what their intentions are.
Humblegunner, you taught me.

My favorite badge! There it is! :-)
Not mine.
The minimum production run was 200 each.
So far we've awarded three.
Of course it is. The Bible tells them what is going to happen to them if they do not repent their abomination of sin called homosexuality. They are like ALL unbelievers. They do not wanting a Holy God to tell them what to do. They claim to not believe in God. The rant and rail about Christians. So why all the fuss? If you don’t believe. If you don’t think there is a God, why are you all in a lather over it? Because Christians remind you of it. They talk about the abomination of their sin. And, in their heart of hearts, they KNOW there is a God. They know they are going to be judged. But their love of their sin is stronger than their fear of the wrath of God over judgment of their sin. Sad. Simple repentance saves them from the fires of hell and the Lake of Fire. But, they’d rather have AIDS and continue their abomination.
That’s why it’s my favorite, because it’s quite rare.
Right-on.

Yes, those women were purely evil. It was sickening, like watching Hell.
There is the fact that AIDs is killing the fudge packers, and that 60% of HIV positive males have unprotected anal sex, so what are the gays winning?
Agonizing pain, early death, and the realization that no matter how you pack it, queers cannot reproduce...blame God for Adam and Eve.
I don’t think those in power give a rip about the suffering of the “little man” homosexual. They are using them as pawns in a larger effort to strip Christians of their God-given rights. That’s what this is about. That’s what that Feldblum woman meant by what she said—Christians lose their rights, and homosexuals can die, or whatever, but the point is that Christians lose their rights.
How do we stand against it? The courts are pushing it, the schools are pushing it, and even some churches are pushing it.
link to an article ..
the article at MassResistance is full of solid ideas ...
We speak out against it where we can. We call on our senators and congressmen to oppose pro-homosexual legislation. We work to educate our children about the true nature of homosexuality and its larger agenda, because the kids are being propagandized everywhere they turn. And, like Pete said, read that MassResistance column linked this piece above. It has ideas in it.
