What We Can Do To Help Defeat the "Gay" Agenda

[bjcintennessee]

I live in Rhea County, TN. You've probably heard of us by now. We're the county whose commissioners voted unanimously to ban gays from our community. Stupid move, as it only served to label us all as homophobes, when their original intention was to ban gay marriage.

The result of their action is that we now will have the first annual "gay day" in Rhea County on May 8th. It is expected that the weirdest of weirdos from across the country will be in attendance.

Problem is, I am not an activist, can't imagine myself holding up sign that would put me in the corner with the true, die-hard homophobes in our area. I'm more inclined to observe from a distance -- 'cause this is bound to be grand entertainment. Instead, I'll probably just stay home so as not to contribute to the audience they are seeking. In my view, ignoring a protest is the grandest of insults. Especially when I never would have approved of our commissioners vote to ban gays from the community.

Ban gay marriage? - yeah, but attempting to ban persons who never made their sexuality an issue, and basically remained "in the closet", no.

And if you knew the history of our county, you would know that our schools will never promote the gay agenda (we recently battled the ACLU over bible classes in school - and lost, BTW)

Unlike the gay activists that our commissioners unintentionally invited here, our local gays seem to prefer anonymity as to their sexual preference.

So , in your opinion, am I better of ignoring this invasion of outside activists?

[little jeremiah]

First of all, do you have a link to an article about the law "banning" homosexuals from the county? I can't imagine a law like that lasting 45 minutes without being slammed by the ACLU and several other organizations. What does the wording actually say, and what is being banned? Does the law ban same sex acts? That's already been judged to be worthy of legal protection by the SCOTUS (one very stupid, evil and unconstitutional decision, BTW).

Unfortunately, this issue is rapidly becoming one in which there will be no fence-sitting. Radical homosexual activists are calling the shots, and the vast majority of homosexuals (or people who self-identify as homosexuals for the time being) do not speak out against their radical brethren and sistern. Those of us (actually the majority) who do not want the definitions of morality and family and marriage deformed are constantly put on the defensive and attacked as "haters", "bigots", and the newly invented word, "homophobes".

By sitting out this fight you are actually assisting the radical homosexual activists, who have directly stated that they want to change the very meaning of family, morality, and marriage. One of their stated goals in the beginning of the "gay rights" movement was to eliminate the age of consent, as well as the number of people (and sex) entering into marriage. Do you want to see a society that calls two or three grown men and a couple of adolescent boys a "marriage"? Some homosexuals want to see that. Do you want to see a society that smiles upon sex between adults and children? NAMBLA wants to see that, and members of that organization often march in "Gay Pride" parades along with the "regular" homosexuals - such as those dressed up as nuns, adorned with giant fake phallus, simulating sodomy (and sometimes not just simulating), men half-dressed in leather with little boys on leashes and chains, and more.

Homosexuals and their supporters have made it one of their main goals - openly stated - to have a huge presence in public schools, K-12, to change the way little children think about sexuality and families. Have you read any of the links that are on this thread? You state that you are sure such indoctrination is not current in Tennessee schools, but I'm not so sure you're right. And if you are right, you many not be for long.


The sad truth is that by being silent, you are helping the destruction of the moral foundation of civilization.


(P.S. There are no such things as "homophobes". That is a prop-speak word invented by homosexual activists to label those who oppose the normalization of homosexuality as bigots, mentally ill, and repressed homosexuals themselves.)

[little jeremiah]

(Regarding my query above about "banning" homosexuals from the county - or was it state? What happened was the law was meant to ban "gay" marriage but either was worded or understood wrongly.)

Note this article about "Sexual deviance as a legitimate course of study":

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1138370/posts?page=1

Many (probably most) universities and colleges, both private (still given YOUR tax dollars) and state, provide nauseating pornographic and ultra homosexual/other propaganda masquerading as academic research and legitimate courses of study. They are nothing more than recruiting more people into the grossest sexual hedonism as participants, and smearing a phony veneer of legitimacy over what should be criminal deviance and a mentally sick obsession with weird sexuality.

SO: Alumni, find out what is being taught at your school, and protest if you find it not to your standard. Withold any donations or behests, and let the administration know that you are doing so and why. Parents who plan to send your children to institutions of higher learning, check VERY carefully into the cirriculum and DO NOT SEND them to schools which promote profligacy and deviance in the name of academic study!

As usual, letters can be written, emails, phone calls and even personal visits to those in charge, both by alumni and prospective parents.

[little jeremiah]

I know I've mentioned this before, but it is time to TAKE BACK THE RAINBOW!

Rainbows are known in every tradtion as the symbol of beauty, purity, and unearthly perfection. They have ZERO to do with same sex sodomy. I'm sick and tired of seeing rainbow symbols and immediately thinking "Hmm, homosexuals".

TAKE BACK THE RAINBOW!

Someone should investigate bumper stickers (could be signs as well) with a picture of a rainow and words such as:

Rainbows belong to everyone!

Rainbows don't mean sodomy.

I want my rainbow back!

Homosexuals don't own rainbows!

Rainbows are God's promise!

Etc.

[peachy08]

You may not want to hear what I'm about to say, but if I don't say it,then I won't be true to my beliefs. All of you people are saying that gay relationships wrong and that they are trying to go against society. This isn't true. You say that they're only in it for the benefits of a married couple, but why would someone willingly subject themselves to this verbal abuse and hatred just for a few benefits? You people are saying that being gay is immoral and wrong, but who said it was up to you to decide what's right and what's wrong? This should be between them and God! You have no right to punish these people for being themselves! You should applaud them for having the courage to come out and tell the world who they are when they know they will get persecuted! When two people love each other they should have the right to get married! Being a homosexual is not a choice or a decision! Its not like by protesting this, you can change the way they are? What if, in the beginning God had created a woman and a woman instead of a man and woman, then every one you people would be persecuted right now for being straight instead of gay! Just because something goes against the norm, doesn't mean its wrong! I mean really, if it wasn't for Dr. Martin Luther King going against the norm, African Americans would still be treated badly! Its the same with women's rights and many other things! The tittle of this page was "What We Can Do To Help Defeat The "Gay" Agenda. What "agenda" are you talking about? You people are acting like homosexuals are out to get us all! That's ridiculous!!! Aren't YOU the ones that are out to get THEM? Honestly, think about what you're doing to these people! Subjecting them to toucher basically because of who they are! Ever since I was A small child, my father used to say this to me :Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.Its called the Golden Rule, if more people followed that, this wold would be a different place. I'm not saying that you don't have the right to disagree with how they choose to live their life, I'm saying that you don't have the right to hate them for it. Now, I'm only 15, and if I know this, then why shouldn't you? I mean, you people are supposed to be lecturing US on right and wrong, what has this world come to if we are now lecturing you?

[Old Professer]

Wow, are you either very young or very stupid; my take in this is and always has been that I will not accept as fact a "condition" of gayness; to me, it is the same thing as choosing to wear a grey suit or a pair of coveralls.

It is currently a fashion fad and probably will be left behind when something more outrageous comes along; I am not one of "those people" to whom you refer.

[little jeremiah]

Here is a link to the Concerned Women of America website, and their offer of what looks to be a very good pamphlet or booklet telling the truth about homosexuality. Looks very good for distribution at schools (!), churches, meetings and so on, or giving to kids, grandkids, their friends, to Boy and Girl Scouts (get your girls out of GS, btw, heavily infiltrated by lesbians and wacko feminazis), other youth groups like 4-H and any others you may be involved in.

*****“At the End of the Rainbow” of Homosexuality 4/5/2004

In an effort to better educate schools, churches, government and the public concerning homosexuality, CWA-VA has produced a colorful brochure, “At the End of the Rainbow,” that reveals the top eight lies of homosexual propaganda. The brochure is available in a color or black and white version.

Homosexual behavior is dangerous and it puts individuals at high risk to life threatening diseases, premature death, mental illness and domestic violence.

People have the right to know that homosexual behavior is not genetic and that everyone is born a heterosexual. There are not two types of human beings. Various factors create an environment for homosexual behavior, but unwanted same-sex attraction is changeable.

It is not “mean spirited” or bigotry to share the truth. A true friend shows compassion by warning someone of impending danger rather than accepting a behavior that leads to emotional, physical and spiritual death.

Give someone you care about an “At the End of the Rainbow” brochure.

First of all, calm down. You say you're 15. When I was 15 I though I knew everything, too. And just like you, I was incredibly naive, ignorant, misled, and had no idea of reality or how to think for myself.

There's a basic rule that everyone should follow, if they want to learn the truth of a matter: learn and listen and read first, then contemplate upon the matter, pray if you can, and THEN speak about it.

If you speak first, as you have just done, but know nothing, you only reveal yourself as, I'm sorry to say, a foolish person.

I wish you well, you may have many years of life in this world ahead of you, and I would that you use that precious time well. I advise the following:

Read the Categorical Index of Articles about Homosexuality that are linked to on this thread. Read all if not most of them. Consider them deeply. Then adjust your thinking to fit the truth, don't try to adjust the truth to fit your thinking.

[little jeremiah]

ItsOurTimeNow organized a rally in support of marriage in the liberal bastion of Rhode Island, with great success (even though most area churches *and* Republican elected officials refused to take part or even inform parishioners!). Here's a link to his after action report:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1160838/posts

He should be an inspiration to many of us! And he's going to do an even bigger rally later in the fall.

[Mockingbird For Short]

The link to Recruit-proofing your child is broken.

Are there any printable flyers available? I can't afford books, etc. but would enjoy printing and handing out flyers.

[Mockingbird For Short]

(See previous comment) I mean a printable flyer other than the Rainbow pamphlet. That one is geared toward a class of people that is a bit more educated than the folks I'd be reaching with it. I need something very basic, in simple 6th grade language--- also something in Spanish would be very helpful. Any suggestions?

[Mockingbird For Short]

From Max Lucado's article HERE:

Marriage is a covenant publicly sealed between a man and a woman. God could have given Adam a man, but he didn't. God could have given Adam two women, but he didn't. God could have given Eve to Adam for one night, but he didn't. He gave her to him for life. And, in doing so, he gave us his definition of marriage. One man-one woman for life. Heterosexual monogamy.

  We cannot overestimate how radical this was. In the ancient east, no other religion honored the female as an equal partner of man and no other moral code called husband and wife to sexual fidelity.

  By the time the Torah was presented through the Jews to mankind, religions were promoting flagrant, unbridled sexual activity. Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Cyrus, Canaan...religious life in each of these nations was marked by temple prostitution and ritual sex. This is understandable since early religions saw their gods as sexual beings. The Babylonian god, Ishtar, seduced a man. The Egyptian god, Asiris, had sex with his sister. Krishna, the Hindu god, had many wives. According to the Greeks, Zeus married Hera, and Poseidon married Amphitrite.

  In such a sexually-saturated era, homosexuality was widely practiced. Martha Nussbaum of Brown University describes gender as a non-issue in ancient sexual activity. Sex was seen not as interaction, but more as doing something to someone.

"Homosexuality," agrees Jewish commentator Dennis Prager, "was universally accepted, valued, and practiced." David Greenburg writes: "...none of the archaic civilizations prohibited homosexuality per se."

  It was into such a world that the Torah entered. And it was against such a downstream flow that the teachings of Yahweh swam. According to the Torah, God is not sexual, but holy. Man was not conceived in a sexual act, but created in a divine one. Men and women were not intended for identical gender but opposite. Woman is not a sexual object, but a God-given partner. And sex is not a recreational sport but a matrimonial privilege. The God of the Jews put the genie of sex into the bottle of heterosexual marriage. Homosexuality, by its very nature, resists this truth. Which takes us to the next question:

  What Does God Say About Gays?....

Here is a great website with lots of resources, quite cheap and a lot you can just print out from the website. I can't reccommend them highly enough:

They do a lot with school age kids, have seminars and stuff for teenagers, and kits for kids that have to go to school. Check it out!

What about a new Federal Marriage
Amendment??

Several polls have demonstrated that
about 70% of Americans are opposed to
the impending judicial activism which
will dramatically redefine a social
structure that greatly predates the
adoption of our Constitution.

We have warnings stretching from Thomas
Jefferson to Justices Powell (1977) and
Rehnquist (1997) about the hazards of
an unfettered judiciary.

An important point is to protect our
right to self-government, and pre-
emptively tell the Courts to let us
continue to fight the "culture war" on
a level playing field.

If we win the culture war then a
Constitutional definition of marriage
is unnecessary. If we lose the culture
war, such a definition is useless (cf
Amendments 18 and 21).

And if we let the referees rig the game,
we will certainly lose.

So then, I propose a revised FMA for
scrutiny and feedback:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Section I
Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed
to require marriage to be recognized as anything
other than the union of a man and a woman; nor
shall this Constitution be construed to require
that the legal incidents of marriage be conferred
upon unmarried individuals, couples, or groups.

Section II
This amendment shall not limit the ability of any
State, or the Congress, to alter their definition
of marriage by legislation or amendment. However,
no Federal Court, nor any court of any State, shall
have the power to redefine marriage, nor the power
to force another branch of government to do so.

Section III
Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to
empower any court to extend changes of marriage law
from one State to another, or from any State to the
Federal government.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I solicit your honest and candid reactions.

I request that you pay less attention to my
preface and more attention to the proposed
amendment language.

"What We Can Do To Defeat The 'Gay' Agenda."

I say that we let them all get married.

In a few years, they'll be too damned busy in beating the emotional crap out of one another in divorce courts, to try to push any kind of agenda on the rest of us, and those alimony payments will take a huge chunk out of their gay PAC's donation budget.

[little jeremiah]

My computer is flaking, heats up after a few minutes. When it comes back or gets replaced, I'll reply. Can't do it now.

[little jeremiah]

Nope. Excuses. Already the "gay" agenda people have achieved a tremendous amount of their goals - and they not only have not slacked off, they're monitoring churches, imprisoned a pastor in Sweden, passed strict "hatespeech" laws in Canada and want to do the same here.

Nope.

[Thinking-in-PDX]

I tend to agree with MEGoody. Swift's essay is very disturbing, and its venomous punch is wrenching. But I cannot say "terrifying", and I fear that too many people are taking such extremism too seriously.

I agree that there are indeed homosexual activists with an agenda, and that we must recognize and counter their efforts. But if we simply polarize the debate we will destroy our country even as we try to save it.

There has always been a silent majority, but we do ourselves and them a disfavor by assuming their agreement with our assessments. It will take an immense effort of good will to awaken the conscience of our nation, but one necessary way to defend marriage against the "gay agenda" is to defend it against the growing apathy about hetero offenses against marriage. This may not be the most attractive message to many "moralphobes", but it is much more rational than claiming that extremist rants are the heart of the "gay agenda".

[Kackikat]

I wish everyone understood it as well as you do....AMEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE SAID...

TRUTH STANDS ALONE and IS A LIGHT IN A DARK WORLD.

[Thinking-in-PDX]

Little Jeremiah -

Yes, but....

Yes, I agree that deceit and Truth often advance in
the vastly different ways that you outline.

But I believe that people of Truth must strive to be
an effective influence in the political fray as part
of our commission to be salt and light - and we need
to acknowledge that political parties are **not**
churches.

When we discuss politics and law (rather than Truth
and Law) we must consider that politics is the art
of the possible and that our success depends upon
addition rather than subtraction - joining with those
who partially agree with us rather than separating
from those who don't agree with us entirely.

- Gordon

p.s. If your point is that people of Truth ought to
avoid politics and law, then I have misunderstood your
posts.
