The Most Influential Essay You’ve Never Heard Of

...This is not the article I set out to write. The facts – or at least my recollection of the facts – changed and I had to change with them. My original thesis was that several years ago LGBQT activists gave assurances that their agenda did not have to conflict with religious liberty rights and that they rejected any claims that opposing homosexual rights was akin to racial discrimination. I thought they too had once claimed, as law scholar Doug Kmiec said nine years ago, that it was “inconceivable” that “a successful analogy will be drawn in the public mind between irrational, and morally repugnant, racial discrimination and the rational, and at least morally debatable, differentiation of traditional and same-sex marriage.”

I had thought the claims that those who opposed homosexual behavior were “bigots” and “essentially arguing for homosexual Jim Crow laws” was a recent change in radical rhetoric. But I was wrong.

For several weeks I searched to find a single prominent LGBQT activist who supported religious conscience exemptions for individuals. I could not find a single one. The closest I could find was the view expressed by Chai Feldblum, an LGBT rights activist and current Commissioner of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In 2006, Feldblum said:

"Sexual liberty should win in most cases. There can be a conflict between religious liberty and sexual liberty, but in almost all cases the sexual liberty should win because that’s the only way that the dignity of gay people can be affirmed in any realistic manner."

Look for today’s After the Ball, blazing the way to legalizing pedophilia.

Ecclesiastes 1:9: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Genesis 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

Every single man and youth and, we can presume, woman and girl and child, was systematically sexually abused, in the ancient equivalent of what the Helter Skelter prophet, Charles Manson, called “Getting Scared”, the exercise of systematically breaking down human dignity to prompt people to perform any imaginable barbarity.

Catholic tradition describes this tendency to conceal sex as “modesty.” It is a certain kind of shame. We would do well to understand what it is and what it is not. In his book, Purity: The Mystery of Christian Sexuality, Dietrich von Hildebrand distinguishes between different kinds of shame. Some kinds of shame are, in fact, a reaction against what is “disgraceful or ugly.” Yet not all shame is so. Some kinds of shame are a form of reverence. For example the French word pudeur is translated into English as “shame”; however, it has the nuance of “holy bashfulness” for which there is no equivalent in English.

“From a neighbouring shrubbery emerged a nurse, leading by the hand a small boy, who howled as he went. ‘What’s the matter?’ asked the Director. The nurse shrugged her shoulders. ‘Nothing much,’ she answered. ‘It’s just that this little boy seems rather reluctant to join in the ordinary erotic play. I’d noticed it once or twice before. And now again to-day. He started yelling just now. I’m taking him in to see the Assistant Superintendent of Psychology. Just to see if anything’s at all abnormal.’ “ – Aldous Huxley, “Brave New World”, Chapter 3

We don’t have to imagine this happening in some dystopian science fiction, this is documented, recent past and continuing-now history. Take progressives at their word. The current Administration is object proof that despite the crazy talk, they mean what they say. The blood they’re not shedding in “ the privacy of a ‘Doctor’ s’ office” will run in the streets.

Wow. Very interesting read. Clearly, this should show the patience, tenacity, and aggressiveness of those seeking to change the public perception of a mora wrong. It’s the one thing conservatives, as well as Christians fail to recognize...that evil doesn’t go away or rest because Trey Gowdy made a good speech or the favorite Conservative won an election. As soon as we all realize fighting the other side takes a long time, a huge commitment, tenacity and being aggressive, the sooner we can start to win back the minds and souls of the chattering class.
