Nor is that oligarchy's lust for power confined to the political arena. It is now marshalling every judicial, political, and social weapon at its disposal to convince Americans that homosexuality is a normal and admirable behavior and to require that so-called "gay unions" be treated as the moral and social equivalent of marriage between a man and a woman.
The U.S. Supreme Court's ill-conceived and completely unconstitutional 2015 ruling in favor of same-sex marriage nationwide fostered a reaction of stunned disbelief among millions of Americans. Around the country, state legislatures enacted statutes designed to allow religious conviction exemptions to the public accommodation requirements resulting from the ruling. The very courageous Phil Bryant, Governor of Mississippi, signed a religious freedom bill this week to "protect sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations from discriminatory action by state government."
The ACLU and all of the usual suspects on the Left immediately exploded, of course. But so did the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Major League Baseball, MGM Resorts International, Nissan, Toyota, Tyson Foods and others. These organizations threaten to withdraw popular sporting events and impose other sanctions on any state or municipality that fails to enforce their apparent belief that homosexual sodomy is the sacramental equivalent of Christian marriage. The boards and executive managers of these publicly-held corporations are waging a war against religion and traditional morality. They should be exposed to the truth, given an opportunity to recant, and then suffer a nation-wide boycott of their products and services should they refuse to withdraw their threats. They are putting their companies' resources and reputations at the disposal of a movement that is advancing a lethal lie.
The homosexual lobby's propaganda campaign, now more than 25 years in duration, has been remarkably successful. A very significant percentage of Americans under the age of 50, has been conditioned to believe that as many as one-third of the population is "gay". This belief is understandable since virtually every television drama, comedy or documentary series produced by the establishment media manages to include one or more homosexuals among the cast. It is also entirely false.
The CDC (National Centers for Disease Control) in its National Health Statistics Reports, Number 77, published July 15, 2014, "Sexual Orientation and Health Among U.S. Adults: National Health Interview Survey, 2013" exposes the extent of the Lie.
Based on the 2013 NHIS data, 96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual. The remaining 1.1% of adults identified as ‘‘something else,’’ stated ‘‘I don’t know the answer,’’ or refused to provide an answer. Significant differences were found in health-related behaviors, health status, health care service utilization, and health care access among U.S. adults aged 18–64 who identified as straight, gay or lesbian, or bisexual.That's right. Less than 2% of the American population self-identifies as "gay" or lesbian! Homosexual behavior is, by definition, not "normal".
Why should we care? Does it really matter?
Yes. It matters because the campaign to legitimize homosexualty is part of an organized effort to destroy moral standards of behavior. It matters because the homosexual agenda is an attack on the family, the basic building block upon which our entire culture rests. It matters because it is an assault on reason. One's sex is determined by chromosomes, not one's "opinion". It matters because the admitted hyper-promiscuity that typifies the behavior of at least one quarter of the homosexual population poses a grave threat to public health. It matters because It is an assault on the biological purpose of sex and, ultimately, on the survival of the human race.
I was in graduate school in 1973 when, against the advice of experts in the treatment of homosexuals, the American Psychological Association's board sent a letter to members asking them to vote to remove homosexuality from the catalogue of disorders. I remember the event well because it became my lot to debate this topic, an assignment that necessitated considerable research. The APA’s letter was not based on any new medical or scientific information. It was written and funded by a lobbying group called the National Gay Task Force. The vote was a political act against bourgeois morality undertaken by a thoroughly radicalized APA.
In fact, the APA ignored its own definitions and diagnostic criteria in voting to “normalize” homosexuality. Before 1973, mental health professionals treated homosexuality as a paraphilia, a deviant sexual behavior in the same category as necrophilia, pedophilia, and bestiality. In this model, homosexuals are defined as those who engage in homosexual behavior just as smokers are defined by habitual smoking; alcoholics by habitually-excessive drinking; and anorexics by their defining behaviors. Even today, after more than 40 years of PC polishing, a paraphilia is defined as “Any of a group of psychosexual disorders characterized by sexual fantasies, feelings, or activities involving a nonhuman object, a nonconsenting partner such as a child, or pain or humiliation of oneself or one's partner.” Sexual addiction is defined as “A condition in which some form of sexual behavior is employed in a pattern that is characterized by two key features: 1) recurrent failure to control the sexual behavior, and 2) continuation of the sexual behavior despite significant harmful consequences.” Homosexuality, let it be noted, qualifies as a paraphilia in every respect.
In the years following its 1973 APA victory, the homosexual lobby has convinced much of the public that the black Civil Rights model applies to its cause. It effectively sold the notion that homosexuality is a matter of status, not behavior. This concept is foundational to the debate because it leads to the belief that one is homosexual in the same way that one is black, or female, or tall. By insinuating the propaganda term "homophobia" into the popular culture's language, the lobby was able to successfully mass market the idea that failure to embrace homosexuality is both irrational and bigoted. In the popular culture, homosexuality and "heterosexuality" are now perceived to be co-equal matters of "sexual preference". This is false, unfortunate, and dangerous. Despite a veritable blizzard of pro-homosexual propaganda, there is no credible scientific evidence capable of being replicated by disinterested investigators to suggest that homosexuality is anything other than a maladaptive obsessive-compulsive behavioral disorder that often kills its practitioners.
Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty was accused a few years ago, among other things, of using coarse and crude language to describe homosexuality in his interview with GQ magazine. Perhaps he did so because anal sex, the primary homosexual act, is not only coarse and crude, but grossly unsanitary as well. The human anus is not a sex organ. However, it is host to dangerous colonies of pathogens, including but not limited to the HIV virus. That inescapable anatomical fact, plus the brutal mechanics of homosexuality's defining behavior and its all too frequent accompanying pattern of hyper-promiscuity, is why male homosexuals were disproportionately afflicted with syphilis and other STDs even before the AIDS epidemic decimated their ranks. It becomes hard to argue that the irresponsible behavior of people who habitually place themselves and their partners at risk by engaging in promiscuous anal sex should be regarded with favor by society at large.
For the time being, the Gods of Political Correctness are smiling on the homosexual lobby. The usual suspects are busily scurrying about to gain legitimacy for “gay marriage” whether through legislation or judicial fiat. At the same time large employers, including city and state governments, are granting “domestic partners” full employee benefits, including health insurance. Alas, actuarial tables have a way of being unforgiving and no amount of propaganda can change the fact that the average life expectancy of homosexual males is about 45 years. That is largely because, according to published data in refereed journals, between one-quarter and one-third of active male homosexuals report sexual encounters with as many as 200 anonymous partners per year. This “recurrent failure to control sexual behavior” often leads to death from AIDS (surely a “significant harmful consequence”). Even those homosexuals in so-called “committed relationships” are not necessarily in monogamous relationships. Many of them simply have a “favorite” primary partner of the moment.

Had news organizations only reported facts instead of propaganda designed to mislead, an informed public debate might have developed on this topic. As it is, in only a few short years the health care cost of this mindless pandering is going to be very high for insurers, other employees, and taxpayers. If there is any justice, there will be a political price as well for the politicians and corporate leaders who have taken us down this road.
