At the risk of getting people mad, I will point out that in 1978, California voters were presented with Proposition 6, to ban gays and lesbians from teaching in public schools.
The initative was doing very well, and was on it’s way to passage.
Then Ronald Reagan came out strongly against it. Even though he knew he needed conservative support for his run for the Presidency, he stood on his principles, and threw his support against the amendment.
On November 1st, Ronald Reagan wrote an editorial. In it he said:
“Whatever else it is, homosexuality is not a contagious disease like the measles. Prevailing scientific opinion is that an individual’s sexuality is determined at a very early age and that a child’s teachers do not really influence this.”
I realise that many people today don’t feel the same way. Nor do I believe that citing Ronald Reagan should change people’s opinion. However, hopefully this will at least tone down the attacks on those who agree with Ronald Reagan as liberals or RINOs.
The queer agenda is far clearer now than it was in 1978.
I think Reagan may say something differently today, 40 years later.
To find out a well concealed secret 40 years ago and not fire the person, was one thing, but today when a homosexual teacher can parade it, speak out on it, flaunt it, choose lessons that incorporate it, and flaunt memberships and affiliations on his car and basically be a salesmen for homosexuality and the homosexual political agenda, Reagan might be open to another view from parents.
Actually, homosexuality is “contagious” - no one is born homosexual, most are recruited by being molested when they are young.
If Reagan saw what the homosexual agenda was up to now, he’d change his veiwpoint I am sure.
Ronald Reagan: “Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality.”
