May 31, 2012 (HLIWorldWatch.org) - Anyone who is concerned about the influence of the homosexual agenda on reshaping traditional values must become intimately familiar with the major tactics that homophiles commonly employ in order to anticipate them and respond in charity and truth. Homophile strategists are very adept at manipulating public opinion with an arsenal of six tactics that are based upon deceptions and half‑truths:
One reason these tactics have worked so well is that homophile activists have succeeded in marketing a harmless and friendly image of their movement. They have lulled people into thinking that the wider society will not be adversely affected by their radical social agenda. Homosexual strategists have, in many cases, toned down their extreme rhetoric and have cloaked their agenda in soothing language. Over time, however, many have begun to think of themselves and others as “homophobes” or “haters” if they oppose any aspect of the homosexual rights agenda — or, incredibly, even if they question it in their own minds.
Generals and attorneys often wish that their opponents would write a book. Interestingly, leaders of the “homosexual rights” movement did exactly that. Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen clearly laid out this agenda in the marching orders of the movement, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear & Hatred of Gays in the 90s.[1] This volume is an absolute treasure chest of information for those pro-family stalwarts who are actively engaged against the homosexual rights agenda.
By far the most popular homophile tactic is the claim to victim status, which is a very powerful, almost paralyzing, weapon that gives them a distinct advantage in the public square. Kirk and Madsen summarize the potent effectiveness of the victim status:
In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector. … The purpose of victim imagery is to make straights feel very uncomfortable; that is, to jam with shame the self-righteous pride that would ordinarily accompany and reward their antigay belligerence, and to lay groundwork for the process of conversion by helping straights identify with gays and sympathize with their underdog status. … the public should be persuaded that gays are victims of circumstance, that they no more chose their sexual orientation than they did, say, their height, skin color, talents, or limitations. … gays should be portrayed as victims of prejudice.
Does this sound familiar? It does if one pays attention to any mainstream media coverage of these controversial issues as they play out in law and society. But the victim status requires a story to back it up. Thus, perhaps the most common lament of the garden-variety homophile revolves around the alleged “tidal wave of anti-gay” hate crimes.
An analysis of FBI statistics on hate crimes committed against homosexuals during the time period 2000-2008 shows that the probability of any individual homosexual being the victim of a hate crime during his or her entire life span is slightly more than one percent.[2] Interestingly, “gays” are more likely to commit hate crimes against “straights” than “straights” are to commit hate crimes against “gays.” According to the FBI, there are 3.98 hate crimes committed by each million heterosexuals annually against homosexuals, and there are 4.44 hate crimes committed by each million homosexuals annually against heterosexuals.[3]
Violence against homosexuals by others gets all the press, but it is interesting to note that the great majority of anti-”gay” violence is committed by other “gays.” The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) is the leading tracker of violence against “gays” in the United States. According to the NCAVP’s statistics on anti-”gay” violence, 83 percent of all violence committed against “gays” is carried out by other “gays” in domestic situations. This does not even count “gay-on-gay” violence committed outside the home.[4]
This confusion is now pervasive in society, and questioning the agenda is simply not to be tolerated – especially among America’s youth.
For example, the classical notion that universities should be “arenas for the free exchange of ideas” has been completely discarded in the United States. More than three-fourths of U.S. colleges and universities now possess codes of conduct that ban behavior and speech based upon, including many other things, “homophobia.” The danger that these codes represent to academic freedom far outweighs their usefulness. This has already been amply demonstrated, as many colleges have severely punished students for merely desiring to debate the topic of homosexuality.
The squashing of dissenting views on homosexuality in the classroom has been going on for decades now. In 1991, a student at the University of Michigan announced his intention to establish a counseling program to help homosexuals leave their lifestyle. He was dragged before a panel of university administrators, unanimously found guilty of “sexual harassment,” and was thrown out of the university.[5] In 2000, the Student Judiciary of Tufts University voted officially to “derecognize” the Tufts Christian Fellowship (TCF) club for taking into account, for purposes of selecting leaders, the beliefs of a member whose views of Scripture and homosexuality were opposed to their own.[6] The TCF was stripped of funding, not permitted to use the Tufts name, not permitted to meet in any room that required a reservation, and not allowed to advertise or announce any of their events or meetings. In 2011, a Fort Worth, Texas high school student was suspended from school for reportedly saying, “I’m a Christian, and I don’t think being gay is right,” during a class discussion.[7] And teachers don’t have it any easier. In 2010 a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign was accused of “hate speech” and relieved of his teaching duties for teaching Catholic doctrine on homosexuality in his Introduction to Catholicism class.[8]
Political science professor Jean Betheke Elshtain, while highlighting the dangers presented by codes against racism, also points out the difficulties associated with all punitive codes of this nature: “My hunch is that, over the long haul, the upshot of such endeavors [college speech codes] will not be a purified, racist-free, collective student consciousness, but a simmering backlog of resentment at being labeled as a racist, even if one has never committed a racist act or uttered a racist slur.”[9]
No one should attempt to deny homosexuals their basic human rights; which are the same basic rights that we all have as being sons and daughters of God. But it has gotten to the point where we have to fight to preserve our own basic rights — the rights to free speech, religion, assembly, and teaching our own children our values – in order to protect our own families and institutions.
Those who promote homosexuality are forcibly tearing away more and more of the rights of Christians, and the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Who could have possibly imagined just a few years ago that companies would start firing people for writing pro-family articles on their own time, or business owners would be sued for refusing to participate in homosexual union ceremonies?
Now is the time to draw the line, to stand and defend our families and our rights without apology in the public square.

Ping!
So what do you suppose the actual hetero-on-gay violence is? Especially if you take out clear cases of self defense?
Homosexuals are extremely dangerous to women and children.
These “men” or homosexual men in particular will make women feel bad for collecting money from men (aka. men’s right movement), but then will also point at men as being responsible for them feeling bad - making themselves part of the women victim agenda who are trying to collect from men and beat down for past wrongs and what not, while stealing the proceeds from the women and raping them.
They only have in mind to murder the very homophile they snooker into their camp, pretending to help collect the bills and moneys for them.
1-Exploit the “victim” status;
2-Use the sympathetic media;
3-Confuse and neutralize the churches;
4-Slander and stereotype Christians;
5-Bait and switch (hide their true nature); and
6-Intimidation.

7-Convince the public that “their” children, Pedophiles, are “Good”.

It thus is no accident that a statists and the state finds many advantages in allying with homosexuals in order to cash in the whole victim socialist program of exploitation. It is no accident that homosexual rights get passed as law even though there is much resistance to this form of forced proselytism.
The homosexuals engaged in sex in the Lawrence v. Texas case were in a physically abusive relationship with a third homosexual, the caller who made the prank call to HPD that night.
The caller later was murdered in a still unsolved case while one of the guys from the lawsuit was facing criminal charges of physically assaulting the “caller” (not in retaliation for the call).
But its all about “big brother in your bedroom” to hear the lavender mafia spin it. Big Brother is in the bathroom dictating toilet bowl sizes, in the living room dictating lightbulb wattage, and in the garage dictating gas mileage. But somehow the healthcare impacts of drug dependent men abusing each other unnaturally is “ok” to even encourage children to experiment with.
they’ve also convinced the public that they comprise a much greater percentage of the population than they actually are. They have our youth thinking they are 15-20% when in actuality they comprise less than 2%
Lesbians isolate and indoctrinate followers at well. It isn’t just a tactic used by homosexual men. They prey on those they can take advantage of.
Their ranks within the media would appear to be much higher than 10%. Why is don’t ask, don’t tell a bad thing in the military when they’d much rather remain closeted to the viewing/reading public who are left wondering why so many stories see print about the need to advance the gay agenda and “evolving views” on such matters?
In a man/man or woman/woman "arrangement," the odds are virtually equal, and conflicts are more likely to be prolonged and stalemated due to like forces unwilling to budge. This can, and usually does, escalate into extremely violent resolutions.
It's no surprise that these equally matched constructs fail at a much higher rate than natural man/woman unions.
Yes, it is sexist..the woman naturally submissive? That's muzzie/15th century talk. The wife should never be submissive...should both be equals with equal decision making and give and take.
It isn’t surprising that most violence committed against gays is by gays. Homosexuals love brutality. For many of them, brutality is their reason for being homosexual, and the fields of victims are plentiful.
To say otherwise is talking like a Libtard.
It’s a mental disorder fueled by drugs and bad relationship choices.
Sometimes an absent (or abusive) father figure can lead to such a path.
Now they want to PUSH this crap on kids in 2nd grade. Heather Has Two Mommys won’t go away. It’s not just about “tolerating” a CHOSEN alternative lifestyle, it’s about embracing it, respecting it, and giving it a whirl to be sure you’ve “tested” all your options in life before committing yourself to the old, boring, way of the “establishment”.
The NEW Establishment of the 1968 radicals is worse than what came before it. The so-called “punks” realized this in the 1970s when they often had to endure political correctness.
Thoughtcrime should be a crime. Crush Stalinist Socialism.

"Should be"? Why? By whose authority?
Men and women are different? What a concept. :)
YES...what you said....and the “normalizing” includes the GAY MEN’S CHRISTMAS Concerts.....which “friends” of our said we should attend....they were soooo good....just...could...not...do...it....and never will!
They’ve started letting straight men into the chorus, but they maintain the separatist name just to keep the attention on the homosexual aspect.
