What We Can Do To Help Defeat the "Gay" Agenda

What We Can Do To Defeat The "Gay" Agenda

Dear Fellow Freepers,

The following informal essay has two parts, the first consisting of ideas of what individuals or small groups can do to help thwart, roll back, defeat and otherwise throw a monkey wrench into the onslaught of the "gay" agenda and their stated goal to destroy the moral fabric of society. I am hoping that discussion will ensue, with theoretical ideas as well as accomplished plans. Information and knowledge are the key. Since most people just watch TV and read the establishment media, which are lapdogs of the "gay" elite, they just do not know the truth about homosexuality.

The second part is my analysis of the root cause of the homosexual movement, going a bit deeper than environment and molestation. It is "religious" or "spiritual" in aspect, so anyone who wishes to avoid that type of discussion can avoid it! This analysis is germane to the cure, not only of the homosexual agenda, but the untrammeled hedonism and libertinism of which homosexuality is the poster child.

[Note: I am not attempting to recap the immediate causes of homosexuality, or prove that it is not inborn, or give evidence as to why same sex acts are abnormal, unhealthy, or immoral, or to prove that homosexuals can change. FR already has hundreds of archived articles of this nature.]

Part One: Ideas on Promoting the Truth about Homosexuality

A friend of ours homeschools her children, so as to protect them from the horrible influence of public schools, instill her personal moral values, and give them the best education possible. She knew that homosexuality was unhealthy, immoral, and unnatural, but until I gave her books and booklets I purchased from Scott Lively's website (www.abidingtruth.com) she was not able to articulate her viewpoint. After studying the materials I provided, she became a one-woman task force, gave her elderly father books to read, and shared the books with the charter/homeschool teacher. The teacher, who also had not been very well-informed, had her mind blown (so to speak) and ordered more materials for herself, and placed a link to Lively's website on her personal website. Lively has a number of very informative booklets that can be purchased in bulk cheap, and they are great for distributing. So because I informed one friend, many others have been informed. This particular charter school is all for homeschooled children, and there are about 500 families involved.

By purchasing Lively's materials (or reprints from other groups such as NAARTH and the Family Research Council) and making them available at your church, synagogue or other house of worship, many people can become informed. Materials can be purchased and mailed or given to pastors at other churches, or any organization or club that you belong to.

I have found that if I talk to people in the line at the grocery store, or the cashier, often people are happy to find that others have the same viewpoint, but they are afraid to admit that they think same sex acts to be unhealthy or wrong. Just by speaking up in public, we can encourage others to think for themselves, and not be intimidated by social pressure.

Of course, letters can be written to newspapers (they've never printed one of mine!), legislators, and media people. We could try calling up local talk radio shows to tell the truth or attend school board meetings to protest the homosexual infiltration of the schools. Of course, by doing any of these things we will be "outing" ourselves as homophobes ;-) but that's the risk one takes by speaking the truth.

And then there are guerilla tactics: print up some fact sheets about the nature of and diseases spread by homosexual acts, statistics about molestation rates, etc - make them colorful and readable, and broadcast them about town. Laudromats, bulletin boards in stores, public facilities, rest stops, community college or other educational institutions, any place you can find. Good places would be where there is a lot of foot traffic, especially where high school kids can see them. High schools kids are really being targeted by homosexual activists, so the more they can see the truth, the better.

Another post-it tactic: make or obtain stickers with the names and phone numbers of organizations that help people overcome homosexuality, and stick them near high schools, colleges, downtowns, and so on. You never know whose life might change because of one phone call. Or, place ads in the classified ads section of local newspapers or weekly magazines with the same information.

Other promotional ideas are bumper stickers (make you own, or maybe someone knows where to order pro-family stickers). Ideas for slogans: Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve; Marriage=One Man+One Woman; Children Need a Mother and Father, Not Two of a Kind; Same Sex Acts Are Not Healthy For Living Things; Want to get AIDS? Be Gay!; Don't confuse "Exit" with "Entry"; Don't Mess With Marriage; "Gay" Sex Isn't Gay…. These could also be signs in car windows, yard signs, signs held at rallies.

Protest at "Gay Pride" Parades. If protesting at such public events, wear protective clothing and go in groups, carry antiseptic handwipes and have a camera and maybe tape recorder. No telling what might ensue. Here's an idea that someone freepmailed to me, and it sounds good:

"I have an idea I'd like to pass your way. I suggest that we get permits to set up tables in front of (or near) our respective churches/synagogues along the local "Pride" parade routes this coming June, with literature about reparative therapy. Each table should also have someone there to document all the juvenile insults and threats thrown our way on a videocam, and send copies of the films to the local tv news to include as part of their coverage."

These are just a few ideas. Let's hear yours!

Part Two: The Root Cause of Homosexuality

Everyone needs happiness, love and pleasure. These needs stem directly from the soul, and get interpreted through the body - think of how many people eat because they are lonely, depressed, or in anxiety. A healthy balanced person will eat when hungry, and when in need of companionship will turn to a relative, friend, or even pet for company. The need for love is really paramount, a deeper need than the bodily requirements. What hurts more, a broken heart, or a hungry stomach? Our culture has denied the fact - basic to all religions (probably a few exceptions, but this is not the debate here) - that human beings even have souls, what to speak of the needs of the soul. In fact, the accepted "scientifically based" theory is that humans are just machines, made of chemicals, evolved by accident, and the "self" doesn’t even really exist. In an atmosphere of such impersonal nihilism, it is natural that many people will be easily convinced that real love, real happiness, real heart to heart connection, don't exist.

What can take its place? Instant pleasure. Shopping. Drug and alcohol abuse. Or, most seductive of all, orgasms. And since the sexual organs have no conscience, a wide variety of options is available to people who have been convinced that God doesn't exist, there are no rules - or higher purpose - to life, and instant gratification is the only yardstick to measure happiness with.

There are two kinds of happiness - the kind that comes from the outside - eating, sex, comforts, and the devices or arrangements that facilitate such, as well as more intangible pleasures such as accomplishments, goals achieved, music, arts, learning, and so on. The second kind of happiness comes only from within the heart, and this happiness is our relationship with God. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is within us, and the same truth is stated in Hindu scriptures (the Vedas) as well. A surrendered soul can experience the loving embrace of God anywhere, any time - if he truly desires and strives for this loving relationship. The experience that God is my best friend, my only refuge, my source of happiness, and indeed, the very foundation for and purpose of my existence - is the only real meaning of religion. Currently, in many religions, the concept that God is a real Person is left out, glossed over, He is described as an amorphous mystery, or that "we are God", or that He is just energy or a force. But according to Jesus, the teachings in the Old Testament, and the teachings of the Vedas, re-establishing a loving relationship with the Supreme Person is the only thing that will fill the emptiness in our hearts. If this knowledge is denied, as in most of our culture, people will seek to fill this void by any means at hand. And if the moral absolutes that are part of God's instructions to humanity are tossed out, then anything goes. If sexual pleasure is the goal of life, and there are no eternal moral truths, then there is no reason to not accept same sex acts, or, for that matter, any kind of sexual activity.

Therefore, the real antidote to the "gay" agenda, as well as the breakdown of civilization it heralds, is the spiritual awakening of many individuals, and the understanding that such an awakening is not only important but essential.

=== The LEFT.


You prepared to do a poll on this forum as to who does and does not use birth control, who does and does not advocate artificial contraception, who has been divorced and who enjoys looking at pornography ... including Lesbian sex and who understands perfectly if our brave young men (if not women) of the military wish to "relieve stress" with hookers while stationed abroad?

If you wish, I can start pulling threads right now which evidence absolutely the fact that so-called "conservatives" share absolutely the sexual mores of the "left".

I found the link to this over at jewishworldreview.com and thought it topical:

Our sages have compared the Children of Israel to a school of fish, whose healthy members naturally swim against the current. It is not that we search out a current to swim against; rather, the nature of the world is that it perpetually presents goals and ideals in conflict with the Torah. The deception of the masses is irrelevant in light of a clear truth. We must maintain the strength to swim against the current.

"so called".

The left PROMOTES these things.

Sure, there are people who claim to be conservatives that fall into bad behaviors, but as a group, they don't promote it.

You seem to have no ability to recognize something this obvious... it almost appears intentional.

Very interesting observation. Jesus said much the same thing several times, I can remember where he said something about he didn't come to bring family peace, but to divide father from son and mother from daughter (I'm sure it's a little different, my memory is not great.)

Also, the Vedas say the same message (hmmm, funny how all the scriptures of the world have so much in common...?) In fact, the Bhagavad Gita has a verse which says that what is night for the introspective sage is daytime for materialist people, and what is night for the ordinary man is day for those who seek the truth. It is stated many times that to serve or seek for God means going against the current of most of the world.

Sometimes "go with the flow" is a bad idea - especially upstream from Niagra Falls.

(I think I can hear the roar in the distance....)

There are also articles by Tammy Bruce (I think that's her last name) - she is a lesbian, but disagrees with much of the "gay" agenda, and has spoken out very strongly against the indoctrination of kids.

Question:"What We Can Do To Help Defeat the "Gay" Agenda"

Response: Well it is obvious that discussion, debate, expressing different points of view ain't stopping it. Further, I have my doubts about diversity, A Big Tent and Room at the Table being able to stop it. Hmmm! Maybe the usual political methods are broken and cannot be fixed?

I do believe Bush is a moral man. I also think he's the best option on the table and I'll be voting for him. We have gone since 9/11 without another terrorist hit on us, something I wouldn't have predicted, and I'll give him credit for that. But the fact is that the man has all but abandoned those who elected him, through liberal spending policies, and inaction--some would say sheer indifference--on issues that are core to social conservatism.

Do you think the country is better off or worse off than four years ago? I think we're WAY worse off in everything other than military readiness. Judicial activism is at an all time high. The radical gay agenda is running roughshod over the culture. Huge deficits are back. He pushes spending programs that are indistinguishable from something Ted Kennedy pushes. All this opposition to Bush from within the conservative ranks didn't happen in a vacuum. It didn't just appear in the air like magic. No, Bush brought his political woes on himself.

From Tammy Bruce: Protect New York's Children from the Gay Elite

I cannot even begin to express my rage at a radical gay fringe and leftists who now are openly and willingly sacrificing children in a vain and self-obsessed drive to quench their own appetites for the young. That’s all this amounts to—adults indulging themselves, and others made too mute by political correctness to step up and say "No."

That's an incredible statement! I'm amazed she wasn't tarred and feathered for it.

We’ll throw that kid on the garbage heap so gay malignant narcissists can feel more “normal” by making kids be just like them. While the gay establishment refuses to address the impact our histories have on our sexual identity, I refuse to let that cowardice take children as its next victims.

I take it she believes childhood sexual molestation is the primary cause of homosexuality?

Here's an excellent interview with lots of good information:

Does anyone here know how many homosexuals are writers and producers in Hollywood and the New York media? I know about the producer of Sex and the City, Jason Michael Patrick, but I don't know how many others of the writers of that series are gay. I heard that at least half of them were. I believe Sex and the City should receive the Devil's Prize for promoting irresponsible sex throughout America, and creating an image of America for the rest of the world that is decadent and totally materialistic.

This is one of the other purposes of homosexual activists -- to promote heterosexual irresponsibility in order to "desensitize" people to the sex act.

It seems clear that the women on Sex and the City, especially the one named Samantha, were really just the alter-egoes of the homosexual writers who would like nothing more than to hump and jump on every good looking male that comes along. And to do so with verve and the applause of the entire country! Wow, what a rush for a homosexual activist that would be. But they had to dress up their alter-egoes in beautiful women's bodies in order to pass it off to the country.

The more they can desensitize Americans, especially American women, to the spiritual significance of sexual intercourse, the better for the homosexual agenda. That's one reason so many movies are so offensive to me.

Anybody seen the "American Pie" movies? That is another example of the promotion of trash-sex, aimed directly at teenagers. Of course, they are all "R" rated but their target audience is definitely between 14 and 18.

Perhaps someone could offer more names of writers/producers/directors in the mainstream media who are homosexual activists. I think we should OUT them!

The Gubinator is a Democrat in Republican clothing. Nobody who sleeps with a Kennedy for years can't possible avoid the psychological scars.

(By the way, she is looking more and more like Morticia as the years go by.)

Bush isn't really the problem. If he had more conservatives in COngress to back him his agenda would be different.

With friends like Orrin Hatch, who needs an enemy?

To be honest, I've no knowledge whatsoever of Sex in the City save for what hoopla about its ending I overheard while driving in a car this week and listening to the TV while doing dishes the other day.

We're agreed, no doubt, on the desensitization aspect. Given the commercials one sees dotting the allegedly G-rated hours of viewing, I can't imagine ANY responsible parent would allow their children to watch television these days. I know I wouldn't.

I think the only way to counter desentization is to reinstill the operation of shame. Very difficult thing to in this age of Self-Esteem without being accused of a Hate Crime or being some Judgmental sort with a superiority complex.

But outside a person's having the opportunity to engender a real respect for the sanctity of human life (one's self and others) and human sexuality, shame seems to me to be the opposite of the "shock value" which is used to numb us as you say.

Have you any thoughts on how one goes about countering the very real campaign of desensitization?

Desensitization is why CNN is CONSTANTLY playing tape of homosexuals kissing during the homosexual marriage story.

That is a subject that needs a good freep just like janet jackson.

=== Desensitization is why CNN is CONSTANTLY playing tape of homosexuals kissing during the homosexual marriage story.


You know ... it's funny. You'd think after 15 years of living in the Quarter and doing theatre and such, I'd have been desensitized to just about anything.

But not the kiss.

I don't hang around screaming queens as a rule ... that's probably part of the reason I'm spared a lot of PDA. But seeing two men kiss still creeps me out bigtime.

It's a pity more men don't enjoy these same sensibilities where Lesbianism is concerned. I suspect that if CNN were looping lesbian sex (much less a kiss ... surely passe now that Spears and Madonna are doing it prime time), it would be caught on tape and kept.
