Gay Agenda: Destroy All Opposition

By Douglas V. Gibbs

My personal conversations with gay couples reveals that not all homosexuals have a desire to destroy anyone that dares to not agree with their belief system regarding marriage, or their lifestyle.  Yet, all of them are terribly offended if a Christian, or anybody else, dares to say that the homosexual lifestyle is immoral, or that they have no right to unilaterally change the definition of marriage (whether Christians, or other marriage traditionalists like it).  They believe it is perfectly all right to use government to force the teachings that homosexuality is acceptable.  The same people who cry out that prayer has no business in schools because it is a case of Christians forcing their belief system upon others, supports the mandatory teaching that the gay lifestyle is normal or that gay marriage is a civil right.

Proponents of gay behavior, or at least a significant number of these folks, believe that those that support traditional marriage, and argue the issue from the point of morality, desire that government get involved in their bedroom. That somehow a religious theocracy exists, and pro-marriage groups wish to do as the homosexual agenda is doing and use government to drive their position.  In honesty, most pro-marriage groups have no desire to force anyone to act any particular way.  The issue for these people is not whether or not gays practice their lifestyle, but whether or not they should be able to force others to abide by their lifestyle, like it or not.

The key problem is government being involved in marriage in the first place.

From a constitutional point of view, marriage is a State issue.  The federal government has no authority over the issue.  It is a religious institution, and as much as the left does not want religion interfering with government, government should not be interfering with a religious institution like marriage, either.

By allowing government, any government, to be involved with marriage, it allows the militant proponents of the homosexual agenda to politicize the issue.  By making gay marriage a civil right, or a constitutional right, it allows the issue to be used as a weapon to destroy all opposition.

As the battle over the gay marriage issue rages, we are beginning to see glimpses of what politicizing this issue does.

1- A Christian florist is currently facing thousands of dollars in fines for refusing to provide flowers for a gay wedding.

2- On the George Washington University campus a Catholic Chaplain is in the process of battling against the gay agenda who is pushing for him to be removed from the university for daring to say what he believes based on his religious beliefs to gays seeking his counseling, rather than telling them what they wanted to hear.

3- Those around Obama believe that "private beliefs should not be tolerated if they adversely affect homosexuals."  In other words, agree with the gay agenda, or you will not be tolerated, and you will be singled out and forced to agree.  Others call for classroom safety through pushing the gay agenda.

4- In Colorado a law has been in place helping homosexual activists achieve their goal of forcing Christians to teach biblical condemnation of homosexuality only behind the closed doors of their sanctuaries.

5- Inn keepers were fined $30,000 and lost their business because they refused to host a gay wedding reception.

6- After writing an article critical of the gay agenda, an administrator for Toledo University was fired.

7- Meanwhile we have gay judges ruling on gay marriage cases, homosexual propagandists claiming that daring to disagree with them is "hate", and a call for arresting preachers who teach homosexuality is a sin.

8- As for the bullying tactics of the gay agenda, a transgender student is suing a Christian university for expulsion, and a cop was punished for buying a Chic-Fil-A sandwich because of the restaurant owner's stance on marriage.

Now let's think about each of those cases. . .


1- Would the proponents of the gay agenda feel the same if a gay florist refused to provide flowers for a Christian wedding?  Or how about if a Muslim florist refused to provide flowers for a gay wedding, or a Christian wedding?

2- How would the militant gays feel if a Christian group called for the removal of a chaplain at a secular university for having pro-gay opinions?

3- What if the White House said that non-Christians would not be tolerated, and would be singled out?

4- What if laws were passed to force homosexuals to only practice their lifestyle inside the four walls of their homes?

5- What if gay inn keepers were fined and lost their business for refusing to accept business from people who disagreed with their lifestyle?

6- What if a college administrator was fired after writing a pro-gay article?

7- How would the gay agenda feel if a Christian judge who was outspoken about his personal aversion to homosexuality had gotten the Proposition 8 case, and upheld it?  Do Christians accuse gays of being "haters?"  Should the government arrest teachers for preaching that gay marriage is acceptable?

8- Would gays respond well if Christians worked to infiltrate gay businesses and then resorted to lawsuits to try to bring the business down?  Would the proponents of gay marriage stand for a cop punished for purchasing an item at an establishment because it was a pro-gay establishment?

If these things are not okay from one point of view, why is it okay from the other?

The militant homosexual agenda is not about equality, or marriage.  Gay marriage faces a higher divorce rate than heterosexuals, and only a couple decades ago gays scoffed at marriage, and were working to destroy the institution.

Karl Marx once said that "peace comes when there is no opposition to socialism."  Like the liberal left, the gay agenda is not working for what they say they are, but they are working to destroy any opposition.

If it was about what they say it is, why would they be working to force what they belief upon those who disagree?

What is coming is logical.  Law suits against churches who refuse to marry gay couples, law suits who refuse to hire gay Sunday School Teachers, and so on and so forth.

And if you think this is far fetched, consider that the Obama administration is working on enabling the federal government to choose who can minister a church.
