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.

The news story says the men were arrested in the apartment of one of the men. Despite how you say "it seems", the article says nothing about a "roommate." It says nothing about sex in the "living room." And I'll bet you can't find anything to support those allegations. I see nothing that indicates these men did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy -- yet they were arrested, nevertheless.

"Wow!... that's tellin me."

Don't be so modest. You and your lib buddies know it all. No one can tell you anything. But the gay lifestyle is still destructive, they are still trying to turn the world into perverted people just like themselves, and they are doing whatever they can to get to the kids.

Too bad you're a couple centuries late for your dream regime.

Private enterprise has never created viable means of education when that is all there is. It was precisely because of the failures of private enterprise that public schools were created.

***BBBZZZZZTTTTT*** I'm sorry; that answer is not correct. Don't forget to pick up your consolation prizes.

The correct answer is: An indication of the typical level of pre-government education can be found by reading The Federalist Papers, and recalling that they were published in newspapers to be read by the general public.

It occurs to me that justshutupandtakeit's definition of "spiritually inclined" does explain some things. For instance, the "spiritual" license to steal other people's money was excersized quite energetically by Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, et al....

You apparently believe that a literate population is a BAD thing.

If I believed that a literate population was a bad thing, I would defend the public school system so energetically that it would make Ted Kennedy look like Attila the Hun.

LOL! If you had accused any of the Founders of the American Republic of advocating "democracy" to his face, you might have gotten a glove in yours.

Telemarketers have to recruit.

Since you mentioned telemarketers -- why can't we harness the energy wasted on this ridiculous topic to some useful purpose, like exiling all telemarketers to some isolated island?

Thus, spiritually inclined people understand that the establishment of school systems to train the citizens of the future is very important and cannot be entirely done by private endeavors.

I consider myself "spiritually inclined" (I'm an Observant Jew) and I do not understand how the establishment of school systems cannot be entirely done by private endeavors. How does confiscating wealth from unwilling donors jive with The Eight Commandment, "Thou shalt not steal"?

Perhaps a personal story will help explain my position. My father lost his job when I was very young and our family struggled financially as a result. However, my parents valued a religious education that could not be provided by the public school system. Unfortunately, they did not have the financial ability to send my sister and I to private religious school. Yet because of the altruism of strangers, my sister and I never stepped foot in public school. You can read about the program we participated in here.

No, this one doesn't but it isn't the first article that I've read about the case.

Despite how you say "it seems", the article says nothing about a "roommate."

I did more research on this. I found this article on-line. You're right that it doesn't mention "roommate" but I'm sure that I had read that elsewhere. No matter since I was making the point that the sodomy wasn't private and obviously someone else was present. Plus they left the stupid door open! Yeah, very reasonable expectation of privacy there, eh?

And I'll bet you can't find anything to support those allegations.

Pity I didn't confirm the amount you were putting up before forking over the proof!

The odd thing is that I've looked over a couple of articles on this case this morning and some say the guy who called in the false report served either 15 or 30 days for filing the false report. Well, which is it? 15 or 30? Why can't the media get even such basic details right?

I take it you're familiar with the articles that Walter Williams has written on the topic?

My statement was not illogical. The claim is made that "homosexuals can't reproduce, so they have to recruit."

The implication is that if homosexuals COULD reproduce, they would bear homosexual babies, who would grow up into homosexuals, who would then have sex with their parents--making "recruiting" unnecessary.

The logical implication of this scenario is that heterosexuals, who CAN reproduce, bear heterosexual babies in order to raise them into adult heterosexuals, and then have sex with them.

The whole cliché ("Homosexuals can't reporduce, so they must recruit") is just stupid. Homosexuals are members of the general human population, like the Army, telemarketers, etc. They come from human parents. They aren't some separate species that "can't reproduce."

What proof are you talking about? The story you linked mentioned no "roomate" before whom sex had occurred, no "living room" in which sex was witnessed by a roommate or any other third person, no "open door" through which the police entered. It continues to appear that these men were arrested for activities in which they engaged within the apartment, that involved no other person.

I truly fail to see that they were not entitled to expect privacy, or that their actions were such as to justify their arrest. What threat were they to anyone? (Unless you think we all have the right to observe and pass judgment on each other's private sex activities -- and even punish them if we don't approve?)

Either your "responses" didn't respond or they were so poorly written that they are not understandable. You could try again to accually communicate or just keep muttering in the cave and picking the leaves outta your beard.

However, I would just say don't bother since you clearly don't have any idea of what you speak other than your fantasies. Study some history, political philosophy and economics and then we might talk. At present my dealing with gibberish quotient is filled.

Well that was one of the most ignorant comments I have seen here in a while even on a thread with a bunch of libertarians.

The Federalist Papers were not written for the typical American of that time but for the THINKING citizens who supported the idea of building a nation and party leaders. More typical of the writings for the ordinary citizen of that era would be the Jeffersonian Jacobin lies spewing from Freanue and Callander directed at those attempting to build a great nation. Hamilton and Washington built this nation in spite of a spate of lies from the proto-Democratic party. Outside the Eastern states and Virginia the number of literate citizens was very low and they could not comprehend two sentences in the Federalist. They didn't matter since they could not vote anyway.

Voting was highly restricted and literacy was probably a requirement in order to vote so that, very small, segment of the population was educated but the huge majority who could not vote (in Virginia this was at least 95% of the population) was rarely educated and just barely literate.

Try learning some actual history instead of mythology our history is very complex and fascinating.
