Last month I published an article explaining my exposure to the early days of the campaign by gay leaders to change the public perception of the homosexual lifestyle. Much has happened since the article was written in April including the President "evolving" into a position favoring gay marriage, North Carolina voting overwhelmingly to define "marriage" as between a man and a woman, and Mitt Romney endorsing traditional marriage.
However, there have been several other related items that attracted much less attention. First, the President contacted some of his spiritual advisers after his interview announcing his change of mind. Some advisers said they could not concur with the President's conclusion and that the Scriptures are clear in prohibiting homosexual activity.
Second, Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News was discussing a transgender performance by a teen on a show popular with youth. When someone raised questions about the appropriateness of such a scene, the Judge's response indicated her belief that the performer's orientation was not a matter of choice, but just who they are. (i.e. "born that way" argument).
Finally, a print shop in Lexington, Ky, Hands On Originals, is being investigated by the Lexington Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission at the direction of the gay mayor, Jim Gray, because they refused to print T-shirts for a gay pride event due to the mores of their faith which prohibits homosexual activity. The public school system and the University of Kentucky have put a hold on their orders from the printer. The action of the mayor and the Commission is a violation of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18 and the first article of the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The gay rights campaign is accelerating their demands for special rights and acceptance in light of the President's evolution. They are on a roll and want to take advantage of the moment. This is the perfect time to counter with the revelation of their 5 myths. Those myths are 40+ years old and accepted by half of Americans. As a reminder, here they are again (see the article called The Ruse I published in April)
Myth 1. Over 10% of the population is involved in homosexual activity. Only about 2% of the population is involved in homosexual activity. It isn't nearly as common as the campaign wants us to believe.
Myth 2. Homosexual sex is as normal as heterosexual sex. It is not as natural by any scientific evaluation. The Commander in Chief and the Military put homosexual activity and bestiality on the same level of what is natural.
Myth 3. They are born that way. The American Psychological Association says there is no conclusive scientific or medical evidence that the origins of homosexuality are hormonal or genetic. In other words, the idea that people are born homosexual is political science. So, there is no legitimate reason to treat homosexuality the same way as we treat race or ethnicity. It is not a civil rights issue. It is an acquired appetite. Usually, the appetite is acquired under psychological, sociological, or physical duress. And we don't want that duress applied to our children.
Myth 4. Homosexuals can't change. People have changed their sexual appetites as they have changed other appetites.
Myth 5. Religious prohibitions are not relevant. Those who have reservations about homosexual activity due to prohibitions of faith are not homophobes, bigots, and hate-mongers. They do not think such prohibitions are irrelevant, but that the prohibitions are rational for historical, sociological, psychological, medical, and spiritual reasons.
It is time the public knows they are being duped and the presuppositions underlying the regulations and laws being passed by states and the federal government are based on mythological propaganda. The gay leadership should understand that those of us who have seen through their tactics are weary of their worn out use of pejoratives to silence us. It is a childish tactic that informed people dismiss.
