Traditional Values Coalition Opinion Editorial For publication on or after Facing The Truth About Homosexual Behavior By Rev. Louis P. Sheldon

Chairman, Traditional Values Coalition
Washington, DC – In 1987, a homosexual magazine called Guide published an article that laid out a detailed marketing plan for selling the normalization of homosexuality through the mass media. The article, "The Overhauling of Straight America,"* was eventually expanded into a full-length book called After the Ball: How America will conquer its fear & loathing of Gays in the 90’s.
Authors Marshall Kirk and Erastes Pill, writing in the Guide article, note the following: "In the early stages of any campaign to reach straight America, the masses should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex should be downplayed and gay rights should be reduced to an abstract social question as much as possible. First let the camel get his nose inside the tent—only later his unsightly derriere!" The objective has been to portray homosexuality as a fixed, unchangeable sexual identity—one that is determined at birth. This is untrue, but the propaganda campaign has largely succeeded.
The plan was—and still is—to present the controversy surrounding homosexuality as a civil rights issue—not about dangerous and unnatural homosexual behaviors. In addition, this marketing campaign includes an effort to portray homosexuals as victims of an intolerant society who need special legal protections. Kirk and Pill note: "In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector." Kirk and Pill also recommend smearing their enemies, comparing them to the KKK and Nazis. They write: "To be blunt, they must be vilified….we intend to make the antigays look so nasty that average Americans will want to dissociate themselves from such types."
This marketing plan—designed to hide the facts about homosexual behavior, to portray homosexuals as victims, and to vilify their enemies—has been wildly successful. A compliant mainstream media has helped homosexuals accomplish many of these goals. One major newspaper syndicate, for example, has given homosexual activist Deb Price a weekly column to promote Kirk and Pill’s propaganda campaign.
Fortunately, there are still voices of sanity who are speaking out against the effort to portray homosexual behavior as normal and determined by birth. One such individual is Dr. A. Dean Byrd, vice president of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). Dr. Byrd authored "The Innate-Immutable Argument Finds No Basis In Science." In it, he quotes a number of homosexual researchers and activists who admit that they can find no genetic basis for homosexual behavior.
One of those is Dean Hamer who tried to find a genetic cause for homosexuality by examining the DNA code at the end of the X chromosome. According to Hamer: "There is not a single master gene that makes people gay . . . . I don’t think we will be able to predict who will be gay."
The words of homosexual activist Camille Paglia are equally telling: "Homosexuality is not ‘normal.’ On the contrary, it is a challenge to the norm . . . Nature exists whether academics like it or not. And in nature, procreation is the single relentless rule. That is the norm. Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction . . . No one is born gay. The idea is ridiculous . . . homosexuality is an adaptation, not an inborn trait."
Dr. Byrd’s article is must reading for anyone who wants to understand the true nature and origin of homosexual behaviors. It deserves to be widely distributed to educators, legislators, and to editors and reporters. It is available at: www.narth.com/docs/innate.html.

And when did God die and put you in charge of punishing perverts?
Or do you simply lack the faith that God is capable of dealing with perverts in His own good time and in His own good way?
I suggest you read this post and then this post (they are two parts of a an address given back in 1954 about "The Ancient Law of Liberty") and try looking in the mirror one more time to see if you can comprehend the difference between virtue and coerced virtue (which, in case it needs to be pointed out, is not virtue at all).
Yes of course, and everyone is "entitled" to be educated, and no one should ever be worse off.
Karl?
Karl Marx?
Is that you?
If you actually read the thread, you will see that I have made precisely the same point at least a half-a-dozen times.
Right here, for one. I'm planning to retire from programming in a couple of years to become an algebra teacher. There is simply no way that I could work for a gov't school, no matter what the salary. How can anyone maintain their self-respect and work for, take orders from, an education major?
What ever happend to Reagan's plan to eliminate the Dept of Ed?
I accept their existence as an undeniable fact. The only way to dismantle the public schools is by a slow and steady movement of students into private schools and homeschooling through programs such as vouchers. Making the case to just eliminate public schools will fall on deaf ears to 95% of the population.
Hopefully you're better prepared to defend your fascistic advocacy on the literal battlefield, than you are on the intellectual battlefield. Cause that's where your headed.
If you consider Jail a concentration camp then fine!!
You don't?
I'm a Nazi and you guys need to go to jail. Does it help you to be less of a pervert to make me a Nazi?
Sorry to break your heart, but I dig chicks... and they dig me pretty good too.
I don't care if they're gay. I don't even care if they're "openly" gay. But I don't want to turn on the evening news and see drag queens in silver eyeliner marching down the damn street. I want to know what apparently makes it so difficult for so many gays to keep perversion in their house. One quick lap around the smut store will tell you that straights do some pretty wild and whacky stuff while their home. But you don't see straight people marching down the street wearing nothing but their love sling and ball gag. You don't see straight men giving little boys vagina shaped lollipops (I focus heavy on the lollipops because it's a pretty regular occurance at gay pride marches).
I don't care about handholding, and people that do need a hobby. Spit swapping is another matter all together, gay or straight keep it private. See that's the basic rule: maintain the same level of public courtesy and decency as the straight community. And most homosexuals do that and I've never had any problems with them (I hope not since one helped me get this job and is one of my oldest and dearest friends). But then the pride marches start and everything goes crazy. Here's the easy question to ask yourself: would that kind of behavior be tolerable if the title of the march were "Normal Everyday Person Pride"? If the answer is no then it's not tolerable for anybody else's march either.
Correction:
You happily accept their wrongful existence as an excuse to commit further wrongs.
At least be honest with yourself.
Are you sure you're prepared to become completely comfortable being a Nazi?
Uhhh.... YOU called you one.
(or had you forgotten already?)
Post 87: Well said. All governments enforce their authority with violence.
I don't see anything in the article that suggests a desire to control consenting adults. Your obsession with inserting language that doesn't exist is what is truly pathological.
Homosexuality is not normal, and many reasonable people resent them and especially their children being bombarded with propaganda to the contrary. In fact, to glorify the homosexual lifestyle for children is, in my opinion, a flagrant form of child sexual emotional abuse.
I think the aims of the gays to convert America to their filthy image is sick and perverse.
An adaptation to what?
Overpopulation. Perhaps it is nature's way of culling the herd, a type of birth control. When the population reaches a certain density, something in the human psyche gets triggered to convince the poor soul to run around chasing after rumps instead of nice loamy woman thighs.
