Have you ever read the “Gay Manifesto”? Portman’s actions are right in keeping with one of the stepping stones of the gay manifesto. One of the gay’s plans was to encourage gays to “come out of the closet” to their families, then to work on their parents and families to get them to accept their homosexuality and then to use their families as advocates for acceptance of homosexuality. It has been working like a charm. A number of prominenet people, some of them Republicans and conservatives have sons or daughters who are gay, trangender etc. and they have come out to defend their children. This causes a socially difficult position within the extended family as well as their friends and colleages as it puts people in an ackward spot since they do not want to hurt the feelings of the parents.
I believe that GOProud has been using this tactic. These people have the subtlety and cleverness of the serpent. We have to find ways to counter this by standing up for our principles regardless of the emotional pressure that the gays know how to use so well.
If someone as seemingly committed to pro-family values as Portman could stick the proverbial knife in the back of his supporters, it makes me wonder if any politician can be trusted. The message here is that nothing is as it seems, and the most solid among us are potential traitors. Sad.
