The Homosexual Agenda: A Classic Marketing Strategy That's Working

A conservative researcher says homosexual activists are implementing several strategies to market their political agenda. Those strategies include a tactic known as "conversion" -- and continued efforts aimed at the movement's primary target: kids in the early years of school.

To homosexual-rights activists, conversion is a planned psychological attack spread through the media. Paul Rondeau, a doctoral student in persuasion studies at Regent University, says the strategy involves wearing society down to the point where just accepting homosexuality is much less of a burden than continuing to "fight the fight" for the good of American values.

"Health care alone for AIDS infection and man-to-man sex is still the number-one [cause for the] spread of the disease," Rondeau says. "It's going to cost $31 billion [in health-care costs]. But they've done an excellent job of portraying it as everyone's disease, which it now has become. But in fact, it certainly did start -- at least in America -- in the gay bathhouses."

The researcher says despite their overwhelming presence in the media, and their success within the federal government, private organizations, and even mainstream denominations, homosexual activists' primary target remains elementary school children. Rondeau says a homosexual author put it this way: "Whoever captures the kids owns the future."

"They are growing a population, a generation, where sexually oriented [and] homosexual-positive images are being used as reading material starting as early as kindergarten and the first grade -- where kids are the most vulnerable and the most open to learning from authority figures," he says. "That's really the leading edge of the campaign -- and it's working."

He says half of all college freshmen believe homosexuality should be legal, but only 15% of individuals 65 and older agree.

Rondeau has published a paper entitled "Selling Homosexuality to America," [PDF] in which he explores how homosexual activists use the elements of modern marketing -- rhetoric, psychology, social psychology, and the media -- to position homosexuality in a positive fashion for public debate.

In that paper, Rondeau states that homosexual rights is not about the attainment of truth or social justice -- but the achievement of power. "The battle centers on the control of public discourse through marketing and persuasion, to shape what society thinks about and how they think about it," he writes.

He concludes the paper by saying that homosexual activists envision that a decision on homosexuality is ultimately made without society ever realizing that it has been purposely conditioned to arrive at a conclusion that it thinks is its own.

Rondeau is now set to publish a book detailing how Americans are "being sold a bill of goods" by homosexual activists.

Flooding the Schools With Propaganda - How Homosexual Activists Are Taking Their Messages to the Public Schools

(Free Republic Thread)

"You can forget trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won." So wrote Marshall K. Kirk and Erastes Pill in Guide magazine, November 1987.
All too often, that battle, promulgated by homosexual activists, is being waged and won in area schools, according to veteran educator Dick Carpenter, Focus on the Family’s education policy analyst.
Carpenter told the crowd at a recent "Love Won Out" conference in Charlotte that schools across America are being flooded with literature, videos, and testimonials advocating the pro-homosexual perspective in public education... He said the pro-homosexual agenda has so invaded curricula that teachers are often forced to teach things with which they disagree or know to be false. And often, if they resist, they are labeled as "hate-mongers" or "homophobes." Using information from The Overhauling of Straight America, Carpenter revealed the tactics of homosexual activists who, he said, had gone to great lengths to spread inaccurate data in an attempt to portray homosexuals as victims and help give protectors a just cause.
He said homosexual organizations such as GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) get a stronghold on school systems by volunteering to educate school officials about the need to pass non-discrimination policies in schools, to train teachers to prevent "anti-gay" name calling and to serve as community resources on sexual-orientation issues.
Once inside the door, activists proclaim myths about homosexuality as fact, encourage homosexual teachers to come out of the closet, and start as many Gay Straight Alliances as possible. These GSAs, billed as student clubs that help kids discuss sexuality issues, are in fact just another avenue for homosexual propaganda, Carpenter said.
He said activists also work to change district policies, sometimes in the name of “safe schools,” to offer specific protection to homosexuals, making it possible for the schools to quell all opposition to the lifestyle.
So what can parents do to keep their children from homosexual influences in school? Plenty, Carpenter said, beginning with talking with your child to make sure he gets information about sexuality from you and does not have to rely on his peers.

In addition, he suggested that parents get involved with what is happening at the school through volunteerism, talking with school leaders, etc., and that they take time to review curriculum or resources being used in class..."

There's an old joke I heard about 20-30 years ago which goes something like this: two men are sitting in a bar and the topic of homosexuality comes up.

Says one: "In the middle ages, you could be burned at the stake for engaging in homosexual acts; 100 hundred years ago, you could be jailed; 10 years ago, you could be forced to undergo psychiatric treatmeant. Today, it is perfectly legal. Well, I've made up my mind: I'm leaving the country, and I'm going to move, and live in a secret location and disappear."

The other man is confused and asks: "Why? Why leave? Surely this means society is growing more tolerant? What is wrong with homosexuality being legal?"

The first man replies "I am leaving now, before they make it mandatory!"
