I agree, which is why we need to focus on the solution, preferably before we are stuck in the same situation that Canada currently is. The problem has been very clearly identified, but it's the fixing it part that seems to be the major problem for social conservatives in the US. We aren't going to have a return to the sexual mores of the 1950s (ah, for the good old days when institutionalized infanticide was illegal ...) in the immediate future, but we can work to ensure that the type of blatant propaganda frequently circulated within the public school system are made known to parents. Far too many people are unaware of or apathetic to what their children are learning from either the public school or pop culture, which is one of the reasons why so many youths like myself today are so screwed up.

The internet and forums like Free Republic actually gives us a valuable medium with which to do so because it enables us to document and inform people as to what the true intentions of the people who claim to speak in the name of acceptance and tolerance actually are. There is in fact a ping list devoted entirely to this topic, from what I gather in my year or so in this forum. By increasing the level of information that people receive on the issue, you make it far more likely that they are going to be more receptive to the mainstream social conservative viewpoint on homosexuality.

And this is the left's Achilles Heel. For too long they have defined discourse on this issue that doesn't fit in their accepted paradigm as being intolerant or fascist. That only works only so long as your audience stays ignorant, which is why information about the nature of the radical homosexual agenda (and the NRO articles on gay marriage are a great start) are so important to rectifying opinions about why we social conservatives believe what we believe about these issues.
