The left is normalizing mental illness for the purpose of breaking down families and society.

Homosexuality was always considered a mental/emotional illness. Soon, pedophiles will enjoy the same consideration by saying that they’re born that way.

There is no such thing as a “transgender”. It’s completely made up. Introducing such nonsense to our kids is absolutely horrendous. The problem lies between their ears, not their legs.

Between their ears, and in their spirits.

“Greek love” was only first called “homosexuality” in the late nineteenth century thanks to activist Karl-Maria Kertbeny. The notion that it was a mental illness came about when the notion of the existence of mental illnesses (i.e. versus moral degeneracy) itself first came about, not too long after Kertbeny coined his misnomers.

Clear thinking from JiC. Thanks.

It could be a fad, an intellectual fad. They've happened before. The ideas of Sigmund Freud were a fad that lasted decades, but in recent years they've lost a lot of following, prestige, and credibility, as has psychiatry in general. That despite the mighty efforts of thousands of highly-educated practitioners who had invested their entire lives in Freudian psychiatry.

The world still awaits the testimony of the thousands - or millions, perhaps - of children who are raised by homosexual parents. The books haven't been written yet (actually I think one such book has been written), the movies haven't been made, the television programs haven't been produced. Yet. They will. Hollywood may not make them, Lifetime and Netflix may not make them, but the barriers to entry are falling lower all the time, and they will be made.

Donald Trump - whatever else he does or doesn't do - has taught Americans that they don't have to kowtow to political correctness. This is so far his greatest contribution. The long-term pressure of reality can't be ignored, even though it can be subverted for a time when the forces of societal entropy make a concerted effort through the media and political leadership.

Exactly. This is straight out of the neo-Marxist playbook.

Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto advocated the abolishing of the family. The implication is to hand off the children to the state for their raising and upkeep. We’ve already done so with all of the public education, now we’re reaping the results with the latest generations indoctrinated by the reality-challenged Marxists from the 1960s.

Soon? More like for the past 15 or so years:

And it’s gotten worse and worse, to the point now where a large portion of millennials see nothing wrong with pedophilia, even to the point of labeling pedophiles as victims of bigots:

http://www.salon.com/2015/09/30/im_a_pedophile_youre_the_monsters_my_week_inside_the_vile_right_wing_hate_machine/

By the way, the author of those two Salon articles is a male-to-female “transgender” (a dude who wears wigs and dresses).
