This is something ...I enjoyed your post very much. This is something I recently came across. This information is also posted on my blog here:<BR/><BR/>http://beetlebabee.wordpress.com/2008/10/17/the-agenda/<BR/><BR/>The Homosexual Agenda<BR/><BR/>Author: Alan Sears, Craig Osten<BR/><BR/>Q. Craig, with the recent Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas, and an expected decision from the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts that could create gay “marriage” on American shores, the whole idea of same-sex marriage has come front-and-center in American life. But isn’t same-sex “marriage” just one part of the homosexual agenda?<BR/><BR/>A. Yes it is. The agenda of homosexual activists is basically to change America from what they perceive as looking down on homosexual behavior, to the affirmation of and societal acceptance of homosexual behavior.<BR/><BR/>It is an agenda that they basically set in the late 1980s, in a book called “After the Ball,” where they laid out a six-point plan for how they could transform the beliefs of ordinary Americans with regard to homosexual behavior — in a decade-long time frame.<BR/><BR/>Q. Now, wait a minute. We hear all the time from gay activists that “there is no such thing” as a gay agenda. They snicker at the very idea.<BR/><BR/>A. But there is an agenda. They admit it privately, but they will not say that publicly. In their private publications, homosexual activists make it very clear that there is an agenda. The six-point agenda that they laid out in 1989 was explicit:<BR/><BR/>1. “Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible.” That was aimed at making people so tired of the issue they would want to give them anything they want to make them shut up.<BR/><BR/>2. “Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers.” That’s why they exploited things like the tragic murder of Matthew Shepard. It was a tragic murder, yet they have used that and spun that to demonize people like Dr. James Dobson and other Christian leaders who have taken a biblical stand on homosexual behavior — people who have love and compassion for those trapped in that behavior.<BR/><BR/>3. “Give homosexual protectors a just cause.” That was designed to tap into and exploit the almost innate sense of fairness that Americans have; to the sympathy that we have — especially liberals have — for those who seem to be disenfranchised.<BR/><BR/>4. “Make gays look good.” That’s what they’ve done through media campaigns, through television programs, like “Will and Grace” and others, where homosexuals are portrayed as the most normal, stable people in America.<BR/><BR/>5. “Make the victimizers look bad.” They portray people of faith — people who have legitimate and biblical reasons to oppose homosexual behavior — as homophobes and bigots. They also try to “muddy the moral waters” by getting liberal churches, many of which have thrown out a great deal of the Bible, to say that homosexual behavior is just fine from a theological perspective.<BR/><BR/>6. “Get funds from corporate America.” In fact, they have. They have gotten corporate America to sign on to their agenda, and it is very interesting how they have done that. It’s based on fudging the truth — and outright lies.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the authors of “After the Ball” admit that the use of lies is perfectly fine in their struggle. Their main thing is to get people to believe them. That is all that is important.<BR/><BR/>What’s interesting is that gay activists go to corporations and say, “We are an aggrieved class; we are discriminated against.” Then, on the other hand, they go to corporate America and say, “Look how much money we have. We make double what a traditional family makes. We are a market that you want to advertise to and cater to.”<BR/><BR/>Corporate America signs on — whether for domestic partner benefits, or whatever — because they don’t want to alienate that market.<BR/><BR/>Q. You mentioned lies. Isn’t one of the lies that homosexuals really want marriage?<BR/><BR/>A. That’s one of the biggest lies. Actually, what they have said at conferences — including one international conference in London in 1999 — is that they really don’t want marriage, they want the destruction of marriage. Basically, once they get marriage, they want to redefine it — they call the concept “monogamy without fidelity.” In other words, marriage would mean that you could be with a person but say, “I can go ahead and have sex with anybody else I want, but my spouse and I live together.”<BR/><BR/>One homosexual activist said, “We can now dethrone the (traditional) family based on blood relationships, in favor of the families that we choose.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009056361259272357.post-64593892787636131022008-10-14T10:28:00.000-07:002008-10-14T10:28:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comment. Actually, I have to disag...Thanks for your comment. Actually, I have to disagree with you - that money doesn't say that. If you follow my argument, what I'm saying is that there is a political agenda behind this push for marriage that is not based on a desire to marry but a desire to force acceptance. <BR/><BR/>What the money means is that there were enough people who supported that agenda, or enough people who were convinced by the marketing of that agenda, to contribute that amount of money.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106573133325535856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009056361259272357.post-49215257871188294442008-10-14T10:13:00.000-07:002008-10-14T10:13:00.000-07:0019 million dollars contributed to NO on Prop 8 say...19 million dollars contributed to NO on Prop 8 says your number three reason is ridiculous.brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05168308274727068924noreply@blogger.com
