There was a "gay" bookstore called Lobo's in Austin, Texas, when I was living there as a grad student. The layout was interesting. Looking inside from the street all you saw were books. It looked like any other bookstore. There was a section devoted to classic "gay" fiction by writers such as Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, and W.H. Auden. There were biographies of prominent "gay" icons, some of whom, like Walt Whitman, would probably have accepted the homosexual label, but many of whom, like Whitman's idol, President Lincoln, had been commandeered for the cause on the basis of evidence no stronger than a bad marriage or an intense same-sex friendship. There were impassioned modern "gay" memoirs, and historical accounts of the origins and development of the "gay rights" movement. It all looked so innocuous and disarmingly bourgeois. But if you went inside to browse, before long you noticed another section, behind the books, a section not visible from the street. The pornography section. Hundreds and hundreds of pornographic videos, all involving men, but otherwise catering to every conceivable sexual taste or fantasy. And you would notice something else too. There were no customers in the front. All the customers were in the back, rooting through the videos. As far as I know, I am the only person who ever actually purchased a book at Lobo's. The books were, in every sense of the word, a front for the porn. - snip -

What we have now, and for quite some time, are just the fumes of a gas tank that was emptied years, if not decades or centuries ago.
I personally feel that we are going into one of those long term downtrends that could last for centuries; something akin to the "Dark Ages" after the fall of Rome.
I really don't see how the next Great Awakening happens. Yes there are too many people on the dole, and yes we will run out of money and horrible decisions will have to be made, but they will be made according to liberal and secular ideas based on "scientific" methods. The old will be encouraged to die sooner. The world will be made unsafe for tax dodgers so that every successful business and individual will pay into the welfare system, science will make some things cheaper, etc.
I can imagine crazy things happening such as conservatives moving in droves to Russia or Africa to live in more Christian friendly countries. Or maybe just small groups hunkering down in the hills of Tennessee or up in the northern part of Idaho and waiting for the whole thing to collapse, hoping it will come back before they die. But it won't. It won't come back until maybe after their great-grandchildren die.
Thank you for posting. Sad that millions will not take the time to read and/or cannot understand its depth of truth.
Most people have not had any encounters with gays or spent time around them so their lifestyle is foreign. But, when you ask then if they’d like their children to be taught or lead (scouts, Sunday School teacher) by a homosexual, they wake up a bit and find it hard to allow.
Love the sinner, not the sin!

“Homosexuals have the right to be homosexuals”
Whence cometh said right?
They have the right to sodomize each other all they want, but when they assault others, demand special rights, etc, that is not homosexuality; e.g. sodomy. That is beyond their rights to have sex with whatever adult partner they want; that is a violation of everyone else’s rights.
“They also don’t have a right to other people’s children.”
I said that, just to be clear.
They want access. They push for it. It is why they want us to accept their deviant behavior. I don’t. I do not trust homosexuals. If they can’t be trusted to act properly in their personal life then they have no business being involved in mine.
“Nobody gives me a parade for being straight.”
Exactly. They want something they would crucify us for doing, like having a “Straight Days Parades”, or “Heather has a Mommy and a Daddy” books, etc.
It's a shame a good many of the responders didn't read it.
Go to the source and read the entire article.

You should have read past the first paragraph.
Thanks for the post - this was one of the most fascinating things I’ve read all week.
The step after that- eliminate it. Then eliminate the whole concept of "consent."
We have a local “adult novelty” store. They claimed to only sell lingerie . They later moved to videos. Then they petitioned the town to allow “movie rooms”. Luckily the town was smart enough to know they are fronts for prostitution and denied them.
They still claim to be a legit business but they planted trees to hide their parking lot from view.
Good article, very informative.
There were two homosexual leaders in my Boy Scout troop (c. 1970's). They failed to inform anyone of their sexual proclivities. And, yes, they're both in prison today for molesting children.
I went to the bar last night and it was dozens and dozens of drunk people.
There is something dreadfully wrong with a movement that attempts to “normalize” sexual deviant behavior. It has gone beyond promoting mere “tolerance” for a destructive “lifestyle” to a position of militant advocacy that denies the natural order that prefers heterosexual behavior.
