While it may initially sound like paranoia, that is exactly what has been underway since 1985, when two homosexuals wrote "Waging Peace: A Gay Battle Plan to Persuade Straight America," in which they boldly admitted their intent to manipulate American sensibilities by using pro-homosexual propaganda.
Written for the now-defunct homosexual magazine Christopher Street by Marshall K. Kirk and Erastes Pill, a pseudonym for Hunter Madsen, the article became a number one national bestselling book, After the Ball, four years later.
Considered ground-breaking back then, 16 years later one is amazed by the simple fact that its strategy has been adopted - explictly or implicitly - virtually across the board within the homosexual movement.
The tone of both the article and book was one of frustration with "the gay revolution in America," as the authors concluded that the revolution had failed. The momentum of those heady days following the movement's birth in 1969 during the Stonewall riots in New York City had dissipated, and activists were floundering for a plan to re-energize their community...
Changing the way the American mainstream looks at homosexuality is certainly a simple goal, but simple goals often require a complex approach, and Kirk and Madsen advocated a program that was ambitious to the nth degree. After the Ball called for the wholesale capture of the U.S. media, and the use of that media for the propagation of the homosexual agenda.
It didn't take long for activists to jump on the Kirk and Madsen bandwagon. In After the Ball, the authors gleefully reported that in 1988 - just two years after "Waging Peace" had been published - a "war conference" of 175 leading gay activists, representing organizations from across the country, gathered "to establish a four-point agenda for the gay movement."
Kirk and Madsen said the conference established as its top priority a nation-wide media campaign promoting a positive image of homosexuals. In its final statement the group said, "We must consider the media in every project we undertake. We must, in addition, take every advantage we can to include public service announcements and paid advertisments, and to cultivate reporters and editors of newspapers, radio, and television. To help facilitate this we need national media workshops to train our leaders. Our media efforts are fundamental to the full acceptance of us in American life..."
