Freaks are now “idols.”

Freaks have always been idols. Elvis was a freak. The Beatles were freaks (in terms of their music,) Led Zeppelin were freaks, just about every metal band from the 1980s were cross-dressing freaks (in Dee Snyder's case, quite literally.) History is a circle, and looking at the other side and saying "that's not natural" is a little short-sighted.

Looking at young men who are openly homosexual and announcing it to children who are watching them on television and who are supposedly idolizing them, is far worse than short-sighted.

It is denying the cycle of decadence that is destroying us from within by subverting our cultural heritage.

To consider today’s freaks no different than yesterday’s is to commit the intellectual crime of moral relativism.

What you need to do, in order not to be blinded by each tree in the forest, is to have a higher benchmark against which you compare where we are today.

When you do so, you’ll find out that we are in a cesspool. And we are in that swill purely because people like you keep saying, “Every generation thinks things are getting worse. Ergo, they are not, it is only a matter of perception.”

Again, seek a higher, stable benchmark and compare. Look at the stats that indicate where our culture is today (high teen pregnancy, high teen abortion, high teen drug usage, high teen suicide, high teen homosexuality) and I don’t think anyone who is reasonable and objective will say that we are better off today that fame-whores like Adam Lambert use their fame to push an ulterior agenda that is causing great harm.
