It is critical to differentiate between homosexual activists who are trying to force their lifestyle on others and homosexuals who are not trying to force their lifestyle on anyone.
Homosexuals are people who experience same-sex attraction and who may or may not act on that attraction. Not all homosexuals, including some of those who choose to engage in homosexual sex, support the homosexual agenda.
Some homosexuals who act on their same-sex attraction openly and honestly admit that their lifestyle is not healthy, but they choose it anyway. Others have sought therapy and have successfully reoriented to heterosexuality, and some are even working to protect traditional marriage and the family.
In contrast, homosexual activists are people who are pushing an agenda to change our society by changing our laws and values. They are literally seeking to destroy the traditional family. Homosexual activists promote the homosexual agenda, which is a calculated, well-planned, well-organized and well-financed effort to mainstream homosexuality into our society by redefining marriage and family and indoctrinating our children about the homosexual lifestyle.
We can genuinely care about homosexuals and value them as individuals and still oppose the “homosexual agenda” which is not only harmful to society, but which is also harmful to homosexuals
The homosexual activists are the ones who are not content simply to “live and let live.” They are the ones who are deliberately and aggressively attempting to destroy all of society’s sexual norms and the essential social institutions—such as marriage and the family—which uphold them.
Ten Key Anti-Family Strategies Used by Sexual Rights Activists
If you watch the anti-family activists systematically implement their agenda at the international, national and local level, an obvious pattern emerges. Their strategies and tactics are very predictable. By understanding these strategies, you will be better able to identify and counteract them.
1️⃣ The Desensitization Strategy. e.g, the increase in public “Gay Pride” events in countries across the world and in people “coming out of the closet” to announce their homosexuality. Those promoting abortion have even gone so far as to wear T-shirts proclaiming “I had an abortion.” And prostitutes have organized themselves into political groups as “sex workers” to publicly promote their “work” as a legitimate profession.
The liberal media constantly use this strategy, regularly projecting sexually explicit images into our lives and gradually increasing their intensity, until many of us aren’t even aware of how far our own views have been changed
2️⃣ Bypass the People Strategy. According to the Bypass the People Strategy, if you can’t get your agenda passed by a legislature or by a vote of the people, use the courts. In bypassing the legislature or the vote of the people and taking your cause straight to the courts, you can save time and money. It’s much easier to convince a few judges to mandate your agenda.
Activists used this strategy to legalize abortion in the United States with the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. They succeeded even though the Constitution nowhere mentions abortion as a fundamental right, most states at the time had laws against abortion, and polls showed that the majority of Americans were against legalizing abortion. This strategy also was used by homosexual activists to legalize same-sex marriage by judicial mandate in Massachusetts, Connecticut, California and Iowa.
Another way to apply the Bypass the People Strategy is to get policies adopted in UN documents and then use the UN to pressure countries to change their laws.
3️⃣ I’ll-Make-it-Mean-What-I-Want Strategy. If you can’t get what you want by popular vote, passing a law, finding a sympathetic judge, or by getting it included in a treaty or other UN document, you can always fill the entity implementing or enforcing relevant laws and regulations with your people. Then you can interpret a law to mean anything you want.
4️⃣ Tsunami Strategy. Using the Tsunami Strategy, introduce a plethora of bills or proposals in a variety of venues so your opponents find it difficult, if not impossible, to keep track of and stop all of them. This happens at the UN, in Congress, and in state legislatures where anti-family provisions are often tacked onto a number of unrelated bills, resolutions or documents. Anti-family forces figure that if they introduce an idea enough times in enough variations, and in enough different venues, they eventually will win. And they often do. Activists using this strategy successfully passed a number of pro-homosexual bills in California.
5️⃣ Name Calling and Discrediting Strategy. If you cannot defeat the message, attack the messenger. Call your opponents politically toxic names or otherwise discredit them. For example, label anyone who supports a moral issue an “extremist,” a “right wing radical,” or a “religious fundamentalist.” Brand anyone who believes that homosexual behavior is unhealthy or not good for society as “hateful,” “intolerant,” “homophobic,” “bigot” or a “Nazi.” Use “anti-choice” to label those who believe that taking the life of an unborn child is wrong. Finally, characterize opposing views or positions as “hate speech” or “unchristian.”
6️⃣ Victim Strategy. Existing laws in the United States already protect every individual (regardless of sexual orientation) from harassment and violence. Schools also have policies that protect students from being singled out and harassed.
Nevertheless, claims of persecution of homosexual students in schools are used to justify mandatory “tolerance” and “diversity” programs that teach open acceptance of and respect for homosexual behavior.
7️⃣ Incremental Strategy. E.g Legalizing sodomy set the stage for the adoption of a slew of other laws and policies that incrementally advanced the sexual rights agenda to the point that all California schools are required to promote homosexuality. The California legislature has passed a bill making it illegal for a therapist to treat a child with unwanted same sex attraction if the therapy is aimed at helping the child reorient to a heterosexual orientation
8️⃣ Emotion Strategy. If you can’t win on the merits, strike an emotional chord, start crying or tell a sad story, and compassion will take over. This Emotion Strategy was used effectively at the UN during an HIV/AIDS conference in 2006, when, for the first time, an HIV-positive person was invited to speak to the entire UN General Assembly. The woman shared a heart-wrenching story about how she had been abused and infected with AIDS by a man and the tragic consequences she had experienced. She ended her speech demanding abortion rights for women and sexual rights for homosexuals. She received a standing ovation because she got everyone emotionally involved with her story—even though her experience had nothing to do with abortion or homosexuality.
9️⃣ Call it a “Human Right” Strategy. At the UN, once something is labeled a human right it is considered sacred. The UN Human Rights Council monitors human rights abuses around the world. So part of the anti-family agenda is to get the UN Human Rights Committee to consider anything related to their agenda to be a “fundamental human right.” Then the Committee can help force that “right” upon the world even if it’s not specifically spelled out in a treaty.
🔟 Useful Euphemism Strategy. If the majority would object to your agenda, re-label it with respectable nice-sounding words or phrases. For example, call abortion a “choice” and pedophilia “intergenerational sex.” Pressure people into accepting your agenda in the name of “equality,” “tolerance,” “diversity,” “freedom” or “nondiscrimination.” This is one of the most common strategies, and thus it is important to understand.
