I don’t think I have ever see such a drastic sea change on a social issue in my lifetime. Their most effective strategy has been to have otherwise conservative or “macho” men come out in favor of Gay Marriage.

Clint Eastwood, NFL players, NHL players etc.

The media’s advertisers love them. So the media does too.
Their rightfully low self-esteem makes them easily manipulated and fiecely loyal. And they have disposable income.

Perverts are the media’s perfect product to sell to their advertisers.

Perversion gets fantastically favorable treatmnt in the media because it makes fantastical profits for the media.

It ends by calling conservatives and people of faith, bigots, so I’m tempted not to give it my time, but the facts are the facts.

Why have things changed so dramatically?

1) Coup by pedophile elements within the psychiatric circles to discredit and hide negative studies on sexual behavior, and remove deviant attractions from the list of mental disorders for no reason other than politics.

2) Public school education calling this a civil rights issue, indoctrinating children who are born to parents not interested in passing on values, some attending ‘churches’ that are no better.

3) Deliberate cover up of sexual realities, and the playing up of ‘emotions’

4) The general widespread demonization of any opinion grounded in faith.

There was nothing innocent or honorable in any of this. It was all covert, all with a final goal in mind, all based on lies.

Reason number one: It is consistent with B. Hussein Obama’s First Inaugural Pledge to “Fundamentally Change America.”

Reason number two: Democrats always follow reason number one.

They’ve had a media propaganda strategy that has worked very well. People now think that 25-30% of the population is LGBT. The media (TV and movies, primarily) and education has helped push the homosexual agenda tremendously. And as far as repealing DADT goes, we’d be seeing a much greater impact on recruiting and retention if the economy weren’t in the crapper.

A lot of the trouble is people in the Church embracing it.

The next frontier for gay society: advocacy of adult-child sex. We were warned of this 20 years ago with the existence of organizations like NAMBLA. Of course, 20 years ago gays assured non-gays that they had no agenda, other than recognition. It wasn't like they would try and get into the schools, government contracts, or ......heaven forbid, marriage.

This is all like Rush Limbaugh's warning about SUV's. When you first heard him say they were going to become the focus of evil, most just laughed. Then media started writing news stories making (SUV) vehicles like they had personalities.

There’s been a gay juggernaut since last summer. Remember Biden, too excited to hold it all in, came out in favor of gay somethingorother. Then Bambi did right after that, then the repeal of don’t ask, don’t tell, etc.

I think it all started with Glee.

He mentioned Richard land kind of giving up and links to this as evidence?

“The denomination is a fierce critic of marriage equality and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and last year passed a resolution “opposing the idea that gay rights are the same as civil rights.”

Richard Land, the denomination’s top political spokesman, has claimed that the Devil is behind homosexuality and warned that gay rights will lead to divine judgment and “paganization.” While the SBC believes it is wrong to consider gay rights a civil rights issues, Land compared his own anti-gay activism to Martin Luther King Jr.’s leadership of the Civil Rights Movement.”

What happened? Democrats and some republican politicians are unprincipled opportunists. So when it looked like it was politically advantageous to be against gay marriage, everybody was against it (look at the vote for DOMA). And as soon as it became clear that being for gay marriage could win the votes of the people on your side, every democrat jumped on the bandwagon.

Mark Warner was Governor of Virginia, a state which not only banned gay marriage but also civil unions, and he wouldn’t have come close to winning an election if he said he was for gay marriage. But now suddenly he is for it.

The real reason is that we have done a great job of teaching tolerance to the children. But we didn’t teach them the difference between tolerance and acceptance and encouragement.

And now, while they still cringe if you actually talk to them about what gay sex actually means, they just are “sure” that it isn’t “fair” that some people are “denied” their “right” to be “happy”. Even though nobody needs a marriage certificate to live together, to commit to one another, or to implement the structure of such an arrangement legally.

It isn’t a gay issue, their numbers are too small. It is part of the left’s relentless campaign in place since at least Marx to abolish the moral underpinnings of western civilization.

Being as the gay community is also bringing back public sex (at least from their gay pride parades and pictures of today’s demonstration, you would be led to believe that’s their intention), I’d suggest we capture the positive benefits of public defecation.

The Romans went out to the street and used public toilets over the sewers. During this morning necessity, they would visit and exchange news and opinion with their neighbors. Some Roman writers said that much of the business of the nation was accomplished during this important time. It would serve to remind one and all today that everyone is equal. Additionally, our new gay ruling class would likely get a real charge out of it.

There is a real Talking Points push right now to legitimize sodomy. Every article mentions it, Megan McCain is talking about it, yadayada. “The tide is turning.” “More and more people are supporting gay marriage.” etc.

I am not buying it. I think people are disgusted by it. Every society back through time has defined marriage as between one man and one woman, and for the protection of children. Just because they WANT it does not make it morally right, good for the children, or even viable.

Deafen your ears. Do not believe Megan, yahoo, WaPo or any other bit of tripe that has this meme. There is NOT a groundswell of support for it. But do watch for Talking Points coming out. I’m naming it for what it is - propaganda, aimed at deceiving and disheartening supporters of tradition.

Why has the structure of the gay rights debate shifted so quickly?

There are several reasons. First, for the past 20 years or more, the media has engaged in a full court press trying to "normalize" gays in America.

Then, of course, comes Hollyweird with their "gay agenda" programs such as Glee which seems to add a new gay character about every other week and The New Normal. And, finally, not to be outdone, the NEA has utilized the public schools to indoctrinate our children that gay relationaships are totally "normal" and don't harm anyone. However, what they have carefully ignored is that the children adopted or raised in gay relationships lean more toward gay relationships themselves than heterosexual relationships. It's a little factoid that the left prefer you not know.

I don’t think there’s been all that much of a sea change among the public. Much of this “new support” is just kids going along with what’S popular as kids always do. Gays are among the most activist people out there...that’s the only reason we’Re seeing all this propaganda. I think gays know that their influence has peaked...if they don’T win this SC battle their power wanes permanently and gays go back to being thought of as deviants ...thus their desperation.

It’s absurdly simple: without God, anything is permitted.

Cultural hegemony

Maybe someday conservatives will learn these was done by Will and Grace. Government only put the finishing touches on things.

We say no we don't want it, so courts decree it. We say no we don't want it, so TV and news constantly push for it. We say no we don't want it, so we vote against it, time after time, and courts continually say those votes don't matter. We say we don't want it, but they teach our kids that its bigoted not to allow it, and the kids eventually grow up. We say we don't want it, but then the country elects a homo to be president, and he says he wants it and that gets even more people on the bandwagon.

After a while, so many people throw their hands up and give in that this so-called tipping point is reached. Only those with strong will and an understanding of the moral basis for their beliefs do not bend to the unceasing drumbeat.

This is how they got the public to be against the war on Iraq, too, by the way. The people who control the levers of this society are quite powerful, and seem to be able to get their way no matter what we think.

Comments?

What popped into my mind was Richard Burton's ( i.e. his character's ) comment in Night of the Iguana that we live our lives on two levels, the Real, and the Fantastic, and that trouble comes when we confuse the two.

It seems to me that gay marriage is in the realm of the fantastic, and that our society has entered that realm, while the everyday life of most people, or at least everyone that I'm aware of, is left behind in the reality of mothers and fathers and children and teachers and grandparents. It's like a Night Gallery episode.
