SCRIPTURE READING:
INTRODUCTION:
1. Homosexuality is in the news, movies, TV – In Your Face
2. I was asked to address the motives and the agenda of homosexual community
Reality
1. Some Christians have just tried to pretend it does not exist.
2. This moral sin is real – in existence in our community
Live and Let Live
1. Many have taken the view of “ignore it and it will go away.”
2. Not true. The homosexual community is:
1. Strong – well-organized
2. Has money and power with the government
Several Activist Groups
1. NGLTF – National Gay Lesbian Task Force
2. LAMBDA – Legal Defense Organization
3. GLAAD – Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation
4. Queer Nation -
5. NAMBLA – North American Man/Boy Love Association
Consider these goals that the homosexual community seeks to achieve.
1. The implementation of homosexual, bisexual, and transgendered curriculum at all levels of education.
2. The lowering of the age of consent for homosexual and heterosexual sex.
3. The legalization of homosexual marriages.
4. Custody, adoption and foster care rights for homosexuals, lesbians, and transgendered people.
5. The redefinition of family to include the full diversity of all family structures.
6. The access to all programs of the Boy Scouts of America.
7. Affirmative action for homosexuals.
8. The inclusion of sex-change operations under a universal health care plan.
Goals of these Organizations
1. Homosexuals “demand passage of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender civil rights bill” and the “repeal of all sodomy laws and other laws that criminalize private sexual expression between consenting adults.”
2. Homosexuals “demand legislation to prevent discrimination against Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgendered people in the areas of family diversity, custody, adoption and foster care and that the definition of family includes the full diversity of all family structures.”
3. Homosexuals “demand full and equal inclusion of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgendered people in the educational system, and inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender studies in multicultural curricula.”
4. Homosexuals favor leniency regarding pedophilia. According to one of San Francisco’s newspapers for homosexuals, “NAMBLA’s [North American Man/Boy Love Association] position on sex is not unreasonable, just unpopular. The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality.”
5. Homosexuals seek “institute training for all personnel on the acceptance of homosexual or bisexual personnel in the military.”
6. Homosexual activists have pushed their agenda into many public schools under the auspices of sex education.
7. Legal rights to marry – all that goes with marriage – Social Security, inheritance, health benefits, life insurance, divorce, etc.
8. Homosexuals seek to undercut the social authority of churches. “We can undermine the moral authority of homophobic churches by portraying them as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step with the times and with the latest findings of psychology. …Such an unholy alliance [science and public opinion] has worked before [against institutional religion] on such topics as divorce and abortion. With enough open talk about the prevalence and acceptability of homosexuality, that alliance can work again here.”
7. Homosexuals seek to make their homosexuality more accepted by society. “The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights. …You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if 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.”
