HOMOSEXUAL agenda, including MARRIAGE, unmasked
“‘I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest….’” Isaiah 62: 6 (NIV)
As of early Friday morning, the Illinois House of Representatives has not yet voted on HB 2234 or the now recreated SB 1716 which contains the language of HB 2234. If and when it happens, I will give you the information. I downloaded the following from Concerned Women for America (http://www.cwfa.org/) earlier this year. It contains information germane to our discussion on “homosexual marriage”—“civil unions.” Except for putting it into my format, I made no changes and because of the length made only a few comments.

“Unmasking The ‘Gay’ Agenda 2/13/2008
By J. Matt Barber
Balance of Power:
Americans who self-identify as ‘gay’ or lesbian comprise roughly one to three percent of the population. Yet the homosexual movement—led by extremist homosexual pressure groups like the so-called Human Rights Campaign (HRC)—represent, per capita, one of America’s most powerful and well-funded political lobbies. Consider that HRC and the HRC foundation alone have an annual budget in excess of 50 million.
Through a carefully crafted, decades-old propaganda campaign, homosexual activists have successfully cast homosexuals—many of whom enjoy positions of influence and affluence—as a disadvantaged minority. They have repackaged and sold to the public behaviors which thousands of years of history, every major world religion and uncompromising human biology have long identified as immoral and sexually deviant.
The Goal:
As with every major political movement, the homosexual lobby is pushing a specific agenda. It is often called the ‘gay agenda.’ At its core is a concerted effort to remove from society all traditional notions of sexual morality and replace them with the post-modern concept of sexual relativism. That is to say, when it comes to sex, there is never right or wrong. All sexual appetites are ‘equal.’ If it feels good, do it.
Ultimately, the homosexual lobby’s primary objective is to radically redefine our foundational institutions of LEGITIMATE MARRIAGE (My capitalization—my addition) and the nuclear family by unraveling God’s natural design for human sexuality. In so doing, they hope to elevate their own spiritual and biological counterfeit and establish a sexually androgynous society wherein natural distinctions between male and female are dissolved.
This creates cultural and moral anarchy. (AND HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL—my addition)
Plan of attack:
Ironically, sexual relativists are anything but relative. They are quite affirmative in principle. But the principles they foist demand comprehensive acceptance of homosexual conduct—by force of law—through federal edicts such as ‘hate crimes’ legislation, the so-called ‘Employment Non-Discrimination Act’ (ENDA) and by IMPOSING GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED ‘SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.’ (My capitalization—my addition) All such government mandates grant special protected ‘minority’ status to those who define themselves by aberrant sexual preferences and changeable sexual behaviors. These laws put people with traditional values directly in the crosshairs of official government policy.
Throughout society, homosexual activists demand that homosexual behaviors not only be ‘tolerated,’ but celebrated. (That’s what the euphemistic slogan ‘celebrate diversity’ supposes). They have masked their true political agenda by hijacking the language of the genuine civil rights movement and through the crafty and disingenuous rhetoric of ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity.’
Anyone who believes the Biblical directive that human sexuality is a gift from God, to be shared between man and wife within the bonds of marriage, is branded ‘homophobic,’ ‘hateful’ or ‘discriminatory.’ They are to be silenced by all means possible.
In their own words:
What you are about to read is just a quick, though disturbing, glance behind the homosexual lobby’s lavender curtain.
Below are two of the central demands put forth by homosexual activists in their ‘1972 Gay Rights Platform’:
• ‘Repeal all laws governing the age of sexual consent.’ (This should send a chill down the spine of any parent. It would legally allow pedophiles, and homosexuals who were so inclined, to access your children and teens for their own predatory sexual gratification—so long as those children ‘consented’ to having sex.)
• ‘REPEAL ALL LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS THAT RESTRICT THE SEX OR NUMBER OF PERSONS ENTERING INTO A MARRIAGE UNIT.’ [My capitalization—my addition] (Once marriage is redefined, there can be no logical or ethical objection to any conceivable ‘marriage’ combination, including polygamous ‘marriages.’ By watering down marriage, ‘gay’ activists and like-minded politicos [usually activist judges] remove this foundational institution’s intrinsic value.)
Here are just a few of the demands the homosexual lobby put forth during the 1987 (Homosexual) ‘March on Washington’:
‘The government should provide protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, public accommodations and education just as protection is provided on race, creed, color, sex, or national origin.’ ([ENDA] This would force all religious business owners, landlords and schools to abandon—under penalty of law—sincerely held and constitutionally protected religious beliefs and adopt a view of sexual morality that runs entirely counter to central teachings of every major world religion.)
• ‘Anti-homophobic curriculum in the schools.’ (Translation: pro-homosexual, government-mandated indoctrination. This is already occurring in thousands of public schools throughout America. Children are being force-fed the absurd notion that male-male anal sodomy is a perfectly acceptable, ‘alternative’ sexual ‘orientation.’ This calculated propaganda continues to expand, despite the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has acknowledged that such behaviors place participants at extremely high risk for dangerous and often deadly infectious disease.)
• ‘The government should ensure all public education programs include programs designed to combat lesbian/gay prejudice. … Institutions that discriminate against lesbian and gay people should be denied tax-exempt status and federal funding.’ (This means churches, religious schools and religious businesses. Some jurisdictions, such as the state of New Jersey, have already begun removing tax-exempt status from church related ministries that refuse to provide ‘commitment ceremonies’ to homosexuals.)
• ‘PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS SHOULD SUPPORT PARENTING BY LESBIAN OR GAY COUPLES.’ [My capitalization—my addition] (This is now being mandated in many states such as California and Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, Catholic Charities’ adoption service was recently forced to close down because it refused to assign children to homosexuals for adoption.)
The push for federal ‘hate crimes’ legislation is another activist tool intended to silence traditional views on human sexuality and sexual morality. Similar laws have already been used around the world, and even right here at home, to persecute Christians and other traditionalists. For example, in 2004, 11 Christians were arrested in Philadelphia and charged with a ‘hate crime’ for merely preaching the Bible at a public homosexual street festival. They could have served up to 47 years in prison.
More recently, a Christian photographer was dragged before the New Mexico Human Rights Division for refusing to photograph a ‘commitment ceremony’ for a lesbian couple because lesbian behavior is inconsistent with Christianity.
Such stark examples of homofascist persecution continue to mount. And they’re by design. Noted homosexual activist and pornographer Clinton Fein addressed the ‘gay’ agenda in a 2005 article candidly titled, ‘The Gay Agenda’:
• On ‘hate crimes’ laws: ‘Hate Crime laws are just the beginning. Once those are passed either federally or in all 50 states, begin campaign to eliminate homophobia entirely.’
• On ‘hate thoughts’ and ‘hate speech’ laws: ‘Homophobic inclinations alone, even without any actions, should be criminal and punishable to the full extent of the law.’
• On influencing public policy: ‘Make sure that gay representation permeates every level of governance.’
• ON ‘SAME-SEX MARRIAGE’: ‘DEMAND THE INSTITUTION AND THEN WRECK IT. [My capitalization—my addition] James Dobson was right about our evil intentions. We just plan to be quicker than he thought.’
• On ‘gays’ in the Church: ‘Reclaim Jesus. He was a Jewish queer to begin with, and don’t let anyone forget it.’ (HOW OBSCENE and BLASPHEMOUS—my addition)
The homosexual lobby’s goals have been clearly defined for decades. But for any goal to be successfully achieved, clever stratagem and sound methodology must be diligently applied.
In their manuscript, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90’s (1989, Doubleday/Bantam), Harvard educated marketing experts Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen meticulously laid out the homosexual lobby’s blueprint for success in what is widely regarded as the handbook for the ‘gay’ agenda.
They devised a three-pronged approach that the homosexual lobby has masterfully implemented in subsequent years: Desensitization, Jamming and Conversion.
Kirk and Madsen summarized their approach this way:
• Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers. (Which they are! They are NOT victims! They are AGGRESSIVE and LYING CHALLENGERS of MORAL VALUES and GOD’S WILL!—my addition)
• Give potential protectors a just cause.
• Make gays look good.
• Make victimizers look bad.
Desensitization:
‘Desensitization,’ wrote Kirk and Madsen, means subjecting the public to a ‘continuous flood of gay-related advertising, presented in the least offensive fashion possible. If ‘straights’ can’t shut off the shower, they may at least eventually get used to being wet.’
As previously stated, glamorizing and normalizing homosexual conduct in our public schools is a full time endeavor. But the schools represent only one field of battle in the war over America’s body, mind and soul.
With the aid of a willing mainstream media and a like-minded Hollywood, societal desensitization has been largely achieved. Blockbusters like Tom Hanks’ Philadelphia, the late Heath Ledger’s Brokeback Mountain, and television programs like Will and Grace and Ellen represent a modern-day fairy tale, creating a dishonest and sympathetic portrayal of a lifestyle which is emotionally, spiritually and physically sterile.
Reality is replaced with fantasy. Gone are references to, or images of, the millions of homosexual men wasting away in hospice due to behaviorally related diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and Syphilis. (Unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences. As Romans 6: 23 says, ‘The wages of sin is death.’) [And soon, if the Obama Administration has its way, we will all be paying more to take care of those who have homosexual related diseases through either government “health” insurance or government “health” programs. I believe I read somewhere (and I didn’t check this) that the life expectancy of homosexuals is more than ten years LESS than it is for the rest of society. Consequently, we are not only going to be expected to accept all sinful homosexual behaviors but also pay to support the consequences of that immoral, deplorable, perverted lifestyle—my addition.]
And gone are references to, or images of, men and women trapped in the homosexual lifestyle who aimlessly seek to fill a spiritual and emotional void through promiscuous and meaningless sexual encounters.
The homosexual group, GLAAD, even offers awards to the television networks that most effectively carry the homosexual lobby’s water. The more distorted and positive the portrayal of homosexual conduct and the more frequently the networks shows such portrayals; the more likely networks are to win the coveted awards.
As Kirk and Madsen put it, homosexuals should be portrayed as the ‘Everyman.’ ‘In no time,’ they said, ‘a skillful and clever media campaign could have the gay community looking like the veritable fairy godmother to Western Civilization.’
Prophetic words from two very smart men.
Jamming:
‘Jamming’ refers to the public smearing of Christians, traditionalists or anyone else who opposes the ‘gay’ agenda. ‘Jam homo-hatred (i.e., disagreement with homosexual behaviors) by linking it to Nazi horror,’ wrote Kirk and Madsen. ‘Associate all who oppose homosexuality with images of ‘Klansmen demanding that gays be slaughtered,’ ‘hysterical backwoods preachers,’ ‘menacing punks,’ and a ‘tour of Nazi concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed.’
‘In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector ... The purpose of victim imagery is to make straights feel very uncomfortable,’ they suggested.
But, perhaps Kirk and Madsen’s most revealing admission came when they said, ‘[O]ur effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof.’ (DUH!—my addition)
And so words like ‘homophobe’ and ‘heterosexism’ were pulled from thin air, not because they had substance, but because they were effective jamming tools. Anyone who holds traditional values relative to human sexuality suddenly became a ‘homophobe,’ a ‘hatemonger,’ a ‘bigot.’
Not even churches are safe.
‘Gays can undermine the moral authority of homo-hating churches over less fervent adherents by portraying [them] as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step … with the latest findings of psychology. Against the atavistic tug of ‘Old Time Religion’ one must set the mightier pull of science and public opinion. … Such an ‘unholy’ alliance has already worked well in America against the churches, on such topics as divorce and abortion. … [T]hat alliance can work for gays.’
And, oh, how it has.
Conversion:
‘Conversion’ means, in the words of Kirk and Madsen, ‘conversion of the average American’s emotions, mind, and will, through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media.’
‘In the early stages of any campaign to reach straight America, the masses should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex should be downplayed and gay rights should be reduced to an abstract social question as much as possible. First let the camel get his nose inside the tent—and only later his unsightly derriere!’
So, as Kirk and Madsen both astutely understood and surprisingly admitted, homosexual activism is really a big game of ‘hide the ball.’ In order to achieve widespread acceptance of ‘gayness,’ they had to remove the focus from what homosexuality really is (deviant sexual conduct) and shift it onto the craftily manufactured specter of ‘gay civil rights.’
In order to cut through much of the propagandist sugarcoating, one need only consider what two men must actually do in order to ‘consummate’ a so-called ‘gay marriage.’ Kirk and Madsen understood that. Most people are repulsed by the mechanics of homosexual conduct, but everyone is for ‘civil rights.’ Of course, in reality, the homosexual lifestyle has nothing to do with civil rights and everything to do with conduct. (VERY TRUE—my addition)
Therein lies the deception.
But There’s Hope:
There’s hope for people who are trapped in the homosexual lifestyle or who suffer from unwanted same-sex attraction. Part of our fallen condition as humans is that we are all subject to sin. Those who know the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, are no better or worse than those who engage in homosexual sin.
But through the loving and redemptive power of Jesus Christ, we can all find salvation from sin. So can homosexuals. ‘Gayness’ is not an ‘immutable’ or unchangeable condition as homosexual apologists would have you believe. People can find freedom from homosexual behaviors and even from same-sex attractions. It’s not easy, but untold thousands of former homosexuals have done it. (JESUS, the SON of GOD, said that sexual immorality [which includes homosexual behavior] comes from the HEART—it is NOT GENETIC! Or maybe HE was just a “backwater” preacher who didn’t know any better?—my addition)
There’s also hope in the ongoing battle between the ‘gay’ agenda and our national moral integrity. Concerned Women for America (CWA) endeavors on a daily basis to counter this destructive movement throughout all facets of culture and public policy.
With God’s help, we can turn back the tide of sexual and moral relativism that has both permeated our society and offended our founding principles.

“He then said to me: ‘Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.’” Ezekiel 3: 4 (NIV)
“‘But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate. But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are. I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified of them, though they are a rebellious house.’” Ezekiel 3: 7-9 (NIV)
“At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: ‘Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to a wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself.’” Ezekiel 3: 16-21 (NIV)
“‘Now I (spoken by the apostle Paul—my addition) know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. (Spoken specifically to the elders of the church in Ephesus.—my addition) Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.’” Acts 20: 25-31 (NIV)
“The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did NOT REPENT of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. NOR did they REPENT of their murders, their magic arts, their SEXUAL IMMORALITY or their thefts.” Revelation 9: 20-21 (NIV) [my capitalizations—my addition]
(Spoken by JESUS) “‘He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.’” Luke 11: 23 (NIV)
“‘I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest….’” Isaiah 62: 6 (NIV)

There’s also hope in the ongoing battle between the ‘gay’ agenda and our national moral integrity. Concerned Women for America (CWA) endeavors on a daily basis to counter this destructive movement throughout all facets of culture and public policy.
With God’s help, we can turn back the tide of sexual and moral relativism that has both permeated our society and offended our founding principles.
(For more information about Concerned Women for America and to learn how you can be part of unmasking the ‘gay’ agenda, please call us at (202) 488-7000 or visit CWA’s website at http://www.cwfa.org/.)

“He then said to me: ‘Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.’” Ezekiel 3: 4 (NIV)
“‘But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate. But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are. I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified of them, though they are a rebellious house.’” Ezekiel 3: 7-9 (NIV)
“At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: ‘Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to a wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself.’” Ezekiel 3: 16-21 (NIV)
“‘Now I (spoken by the apostle Paul—my addition) know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. (Spoken specifically to the elders of the church in Ephesus.—my addition) Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.’” Acts 20: 25-31 (NIV)
“The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did NOT REPENT of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. NOR did they REPENT of their murders, their magic arts, their SEXUAL IMMORALITY or their thefts.” Revelation 9: 20-21 (NIV) [my capitalizations—my addition]
(Spoken by JESUS) “‘He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.’” Luke 11: 23 (NIV)
