The Great “Gay” Con
Exclusive commentary by Patrick Rooney
Jun 23, 2003
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said last week his country would officially recognize same-sex marriages. The announcement followed court rulings in Canada striking down the country’s definition of marriage because it specified a union between a man and a woman. But it is just the latest action signaling the successful implementation of one of the greatest cons of our time.
Homosexuality has historically been seen as anti-God and anti-nature. Society has shunned it, often making light of it to mask its revulsion. Even today, the average person still cringes when they see two men mouth-kissing one another. The truth is, the practice is innately abhorrent, and yet a great many of us have been made to believe gay is good, or at least one more acceptable choice from life’s grand smorgasbord.
It started with an assault on our perception of reality. The sixties exploration of “freedom” began the path down that slippery slope. Rebellion against the order of things. And what greater rebellion than for a man or woman do go against their very own nature?
Language being important, the word “homosexual” was overthrown, and replaced with the happy word “gay.”
Liberal ideas spilled into every facet of life, including the clergy. “Do not judge, lest ye be judged” seemed to be the only verse in the entire Bible that liberals knew. Never mind they had no clue as to the real meaning of the verse, and that taken to its logical conclusion, “do not judge” would lead to total anarchy. Of course they didn’t really mean, “do not judge”, they only meant for others not to dare attempt to see and comment on their corrupt behavior.
So homosexuals not only came out of the closet, they attempted to stuff those of us who saw their deviancy into closets. But the greatest victory homosexuals have ever had was AIDS. That’s right, AIDS. “How can you say that?” “Millions have died, particularly gays!” Yes, that is truly a tragedy.
But from virtually day one of the AIDS pandemic, homosexuals have furiously spun themselves and others away from the reality that they were the primary group spreading the disease. “It’s not a gay disease!” they’d protest.
Homosexual activists struggled desperately against any public health measures designed to curb the spread of the disease, as had been done in previous epidemics, and is being done now with the SARS disease. Instead, without evidence, they’d relentlessly “educate” us on every way we couldn’t contract it.
Despite the fact that homosexuals were the primary carriers and perpetrators of the disease, they brilliantly changed the perception in much of the public’s mind, by focusing on their brethren dying, rather than the actual reason for the deaths. Yes, they are victims. But they are also undeniably perpetrators.
“Victims” receive sympathy. And that’s the key to understanding the con. The greatest failure of homosexuals—this unspeakable tragedy they have inflicted on themselves and the world—has ironically turned into their greatest tactical victory via that sympathy. Homosexuality is more institutionally and socially acceptable than ever before!
The rage that is in the heart of the homosexual, be it toward a parent or a past sexual abuser, is the real issue that needs to be dealt with. But instead of facing up to that challenge, homosexuals and our society have increasingly accepted and even celebrated the aberrant expression of that rage.
The Canadian prime minister has unfortunately fallen into this trap too, announcing the recognition of same-sex marriage, thereby legitimizing and rewarding a “lifestyle” that leads to death.
In Canada, a narrow majority polled—54 percent—are in favor of same-sex marriage. Fortunately, most Americans still have some sanity intact, and accept it in far lower numbers. But the same rot that is destroying Canada can destroy us too, if we let it.
America is increasingly being isolated by a weak, corrupt world. But we must never be tempted to lower our standards in response—to do so would be fatal. It’s time Americans took an honest look at homosexuality and its true origins, lest we fall to the same fate of our northern neighbor, and a shameless world on the downslide.

That said, let me point out gay marriages are simply a measure of how far we have collectively drifted from any concept of how a free society works and what mechanisms are are important to that society.
It should not be a surprise that once government has inserted itself as the one ton gorilla in a three way contract between two individuals and a bureaucracy it will then proceed to define the terms of that contract in any way it sees fit.
What does surprise me is that more Pastors and others of faith cannot coherently explain what traditional marriage is and ought to be.
Historically, marriage has been akin to a sacrament consummated before God and witnessed by a congregation in religous setting such as a church or synagogue. The Catholic Church, for example, calls it the "Sacrament" of Marriage.
At some point a movement began to have all births at central facilities known as hospitals(ostensibly for hygenic reasons) which removed the record of those births from the family Bible and the local Church and centralized Birth Records at the Government Facility known as the Courthouse.
It was a natural progression to then keep a record of marriages at the same location-the Courthouse.
Soon, a civil marriage was the only requirement for people to achieve legitimacy as honorable members of Society.
As far as I can tell, marriage has always been a combination of sacrament and political and economic union.
In a society where nearly everyone is expected to have a "job" (as opposed to employment or work)and that "job" automatically includes "withholding" for Social Security and other taxes as well as restrictions on where and how you can save or invest your money it should surprise no one that elements of Society expect access to the same endowments that are currently imposed on the "honorable" members of that Society.
The important question is how did we paint ourselves into this corner and when will our presumed moral Leaders begin to lead us out of the wilderness?
Step one is for all Churches and Religious Entities to immediately renounce their 501(3)(c) status.
Until they do that they serve Mammon and Government and not God and have no room to quarrel with "same sex" marriages.
It is part and parcel of a larger problem and will not be fixed until the larger problem is fixed.
Excuse me while I go scramble into my asbestos suit.
Best regards,
Much to his surprise, his dad watched a lot of lesbian porn!
His dad is a Protestant minister often railing against those disgusting homosexuals :-)
I did...doubly appropriate for you, isn't it? :-)
Plenty of women enjoy sex outside the presense of some guy with a big wallet. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's with women.
Whew - you said it all...
And gets off on seeing two women doing the same thing. Amusing.
Men kissing men and women kissing women is equally abhorent to me. Lesbians kissing is a huge turn off. Yuuuchhh!!
Just because your average guy is perverted by society doesn't mean we all are.
And gets off on seeing two women doing the same thing.
Talk about a double standard. If it's okay for the goose, why is it not okay for the gander?
LOL. You're a mean widdle kid, you know that? ;-)
See, Cathryn, there's still another historical view.
I have no personal knowldedge regarding its accuracy, but again, it's before the Sixties.
Thank you, T Lady. ;-)
Mean? Hmmmm...
Little? Yeah...compared to you!
Ha!
Little? Yeah...compared to you!
Ha!
Cathryn, I don't really mean to call you mean or little. I just lost my head.
It's just that sometimes I get frustrated because it's so hard to explain all this to someone who wasn't here in the Sixties. You just have no idea how much damage was done to this country by those Rolling Beatles. ;-)
Cute, very cute. :-)
Had to correct that .... strange as it may be ..... why do men like that ?
From what I've read about history, it almost seems like that was more socially acceptable for some reason.
A fellow coworker and I were discussing this very thing and I also said, "Yeah, and the extra danger is... what if you end up liking it?" Hah! Scary...
