What the leftist 'identity' movement seeks to conceal

You have probably noticed the modern proliferation of human sexual "identities" and how each newly asserted identity is claimed as deserving great respect and accommodation. This is nothing more than an effort to 1) rationalize and normalize deviant sexual acts and 2) gain political power.

The concept of sexual identity is relatively new. Neither literature nor history from more than 150 years ago characterizes individuals as "gay" or "homosexual." Instead, it was only a person's behavior or acts that were described. The idea of a person being somehow fundamentally different, and deserving of special treatment, on the basis of which sex attracted him did not exist until recently.

When did things change? There is some consensus that the modern concept of identity was first illustrated in the late 19th century by Hungarian writer Karl Maria Kertbeny. As late as the 1950s, Alfred Kinsey was working to fully synthesize the concept of identity. Now nearly the whole of Western popular culture is obsessed with identity, and how said identity informs human behavior.

The conceptual development of sexual identity is an effort by individuals who willfully engage in deviant ("straying or deviating from the norm") sexual activities and who seek to escape social stigma and legal sanction by classifying themselves as somehow different, or even above, other individuals who do not engage in deviant sexual activity. Those who engage in such deviancy have no intention to stop. Instead, they seek to change the rules or position themselves above the rules. They seek, above all else, to rationalize and normalize their deviancies.

The ancient Greek sexual mores is the goal.
Every time some right supposedly granted, sexual accepted was demanded soon after,

They are working towards sexualizing our children.

They **have**already sexualized our nation’s children.

When I retired, I began classes at our local community college. The number of “transitioning” students was **zero**! This past semester, they are everywhere. Where did this come from, and so suddenly? I live in a very “conservative” state, too.

I am horrified. Where is our nation headed?

I would argue we're already there.

It is well on the way.
It’s not yet considered normal for an eight year old to have sex with grown men.

My identity revolves around who I am in Christ, not my hormones or favorite sins.

Remember, the NAMBLA motto is "Sex before eight, or it's too late".

It’s a sick damn fad conjured up by the media and a handful of lost souls.
