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.

BTW ... in pulling some periodicals from the shelves tonight, I went ahead and pulled what I saw on the subject of marriage in the hopes I can better illustrate for you the fact that your fight against the "homosexual agenda" is better fought first among heterosexuals who are deceived in thinking themselves somehow distinct from homosexuals due strictly to the anatomical realities which they BOTH overcome by CHOICEs of one sort or another.

I go to europe frequently and even they get creeped out with two homosexual lip locking. Traditional cheeck and cheeck is benign and not the same, as long as it is done IN europe.

BTW A greek broadcaster was fined for showing the madona/spears kiss.

Lol ... OR New Orleans.

Males greeting in that style doesn't bother me at all. (Though it's possible it would have had I not traveled abroad some as well.)

I've even loosened up the last decade or so and no longer freeze like an Okie or sumpin' when a friend-of-a-friend or some such stranger takes my hand to welcome me in with a kiss on the cheek. =)

Here's a couple of simple things anyone can do.

1. Support the Boy Scouts - donate money, time, whatever one can do. Put bumper stickers on the SUV supporting them.

2. Don't use the word "gay" in conversation. The homosexuals and their handmaidens have hijacked a perfectly good English word to try to cover the icky things they do with prettiness.

3. Take back rainbows. Now when I see a rainbow sticker anywhere, I feel slightly sick to my stomach. It would be great to have a bumper sticker with a rainbow on it saying (just off the top of my head) "Proof of God's love" or "Rainbows don't mean sodomy" (I know, that one is kind of heavy!) or "Rainbows belong to everyone" - "Rainbows - God's promise".

I don't want rainbows to symbolize the homosexual agenda any more.

Take Back the Rainbow!

I think a bit of activism similar to the AA bake sales is in order. Maybe a campus heterosexual "coming out" day or even straights on campus can take their own polls about feeling "included" on campus... just a thought.

Thanks! Actually SOON I am going to put up some stuff from Scott Lively's website. I've been meaning to for days but have had too many other things to do. Livley has "kits" for kids at high schools and college students to use to protect themselves from the "gay" activists, and materials to help defend themselves in arguments, and defeat - using reaon and logic - people who are promoting homosexuality.

It seriously disturbs me. Rainbows are one of the most beautiful and etheral manifestations in the created world. They represent purity, beauty, heaven and God's mercy or promise in every religion (AFAIK), and for sodomy practitioners to usurp them as their symbol is disgusting and I am SICK of it.

Good question. I guess it "takes a village" and the village has become extremely blase about sexual expressiveness. I can't say that's totally bad because I also remember the 1950s, when the very word "sex" was not used in polite company. I wouldn't want to go back to those days but now that the pendulum has swung so far in the opposite direction, wouldn't it be nice if a healthy respect for sexuality and its spiritual dimension would begin to blossom?

I believe parents are finally stepping up to the plate and demanding a healthier environment for their kids, after the debacle of the Super Bowl halftime and all the perversion that is being shoved in our faces. That's what is needed: Parents. Two parents, one of EACH gender, looking out for their kids from their different perspectives. Creating harmony and balance in the life of the growing child.

That's what I'm promoting in my letters to the editor and other responses to this latest "gay marriage" assault on our culture. We are allowing homosexual adult "rights" to trump children's NEEDS. That is not justice, not fair, not right. Children need to grow up in a village which upholds the standards of natural law. No kid gets born without a sperm and an egg coming together. No kid should have to grow up without a father and a mother guiding him along his way. Lots of kids do have to grow up without that ideal, but society should never abandon the ideal and say, "Oh well, anybody can call himself a wife, mother, father, whatever...." Natural law must be reinforced by society's laws.

I'm working on a poem that begins with: "The laws of man may wax and wane, but laws of Nature stay the same."

The truth about the "gay" agenda - what they do, what they want for the rest of us, their dysfunctional, miserable lives - needs to get publicized.

"Everyone needs happiness, love and pleasure. These needs stem directly from the soul, and get interpreted through the body..."

um...
If this set of statements were correct, brain damage could NOT cause radical alterations in personality, mood, or desires.
Since brain damage can and routinely does cause such alterations, the statement set appears dubious.
Other than that, not a bad article at all.

This is a huge topic. Where is the self - is the self the brain? Is the self the heart? Is the self the mind? Etc. The self is definitely not the brain, the brain being kind of like a computer that the self is using (albeit without knowing exactly HOW it's being done, usually) to use the senses and organs of action in relating to the world. How do I know this?

Here's one way - I have a dear friend who died a few years ago of brain cancer. The cancer itself as well as the failed medical treatments left his brain incomplete and ruined. But HE was still there, he could still relate to people with his same love and humor (until he had to shuffle off the mortal coil). Even though his brain was not very functional at all. People had to help him with simple functions. But his spirit shone through the broken tool.

I have another dear friend who was in a terrible automobile accident and lost a large chunk of his brain, was in a coma for weeks, and when he came out of it, he was out of it! He lost his brilliant intelligence, his good looks, his physical strength, and can barely walk. But HE is still there, even though his vehicle is damaged. I have had wonderful conversations with him, and I can vouche for his presence. He actually is thankful for his accident, it taught him to be a better human being.

Also, Yoga philosophy teaches very clearly and specifically what is the nature of the self, where it is located, and how it uses the body and brain to function. Christian teachings are a little more vague but are there in the Bible nonetheless. It is not that easy to experience, but through various methods one can come to not only understand theoretically the soul as the self, but experience it, and in so doing, go beyond the limits of the physical brain.

And this is the beginning of real pleasure and happiness, compared to which the pleasures of the body are shallow indeed.

all science points to a cellular or biological basis for every single trait which religionists have formerly ascribed to the soul.

selective brain damage can accentuate or destroy these traits. a man's basic personality can be utterly and permanently altered by the severing of just a few nerve conduits. his perceptions and behaviours are similarly vulnerable. love, humour, intellect, religious devotion, ecstatic visions, profound black despair, all these and all others can be induced by brain damage.

that is a medical fact.

surely such material damage could have no effect on a soul.

so, again, your postulate is rendered dubious.

Here's the interesting point - for a person who acts on the level of only bodily indentification, is not "enlightened" to their nature as soul, malfunctions of the brain due to disease, accident or mischance of birth, naturally can have profound effects on behavior, character traits, emotions, and so on.

For a person who experiences (through yogic practices, religious visions or other methods of enlightenment) his existence as the soul - variously called atma, jivatma and other terms - even damage to the brain does not necessarily affect the state of consciousness; depending on how deep and complete such person's experience is.

Even someone who may not have achieved great level of perfection in such realization can experience a much deeper level of consciousness than that which is filtered through the brain. Some people have out of body experiences, near death experiences, and so on, which are not explainable solely in terms of brain or chemical terms. Of course, scientists or doctors who are already convinced there is no self other than the brain think they have explained things satisfactorily. But to someone who has had such experiences, they just laugh at theories that deny the existence of the soul.

There is a new book that discusses this subject in detail that I intend to buy - Human Devolution by Michael Cremo. His previous book "Forbidden Archeology" was highly entertaining, and very well researched. Kind of off topic, though, for this thread.

P.S. - Often even religionists misunderstand the nature of the soul, and attribute aspects of personal existence to the soul which are really parts of the subtle body (mind, intelligence, and ego). It is quite a science, and unfortunately not much understood currently, and completely ignored and scorned by most scientists and researchers.

It's the kind of knowledge that means little (even if studied) until put into practice and experienced.

Uber-enlightened Swami Biggamouth-Puta says "For a person who experiences (through yogic practices, religious visions or other methods of enlightenment) his existence as the soul - variously called atma, jivatma and other terms - even damage to the brain does not necessarily affect the state of consciousness; depending on how deep and complete such person's experience is."

Realist Loki says "oh, reeeeeeally?" and puts a bullet through the Swami's noggin, carefully missing the cerebellum, pons, and medulla, but fully scrambling the Swami's frontal lobes.

The Swami spends the rest of his life saying "*drool*"

Sorry, LJ, but hard facts trump pleasant fictions.

Sorry you can't hear what I am saying.
Theories are fine, but experience/realization trumps current scientific theories.

I hope we can agree to disagree respectfully, as I admire your wit and pithy comments.
