All Gender Restrooms and the Underlying Agenda

Signs are changing in California.  The male and female designation is rapidly vanishing.  Blue signs with white triangles filled with the words "ALL-GENDER RESTROOM" are emerging at a dizzying pace.  Soon, we will all be genderless and mindless automatons in the liberal left's utopia where individualism no longer matters, and the good of the collective is in the hands of the totalitarian ruling elite.

A mental illness has befallen America, and is infesting the modern world.  The disorders associated with homosexuality wreak havoc on the natural order.  Aside from the physical and disease-related dangers of homosexual intercourse, among homosexuals are higher rates of depression, suicide, generalized anxiety disorder, substance abuse, mood disorders, and a higher use of mental health services.

From Reverend Louis P. Sheldon's book, The Agenda: The Homosexual Plan to Change America:

A PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTER 

Debilitating illness, chronic disease, psychological problems, and early death suffered by homosexuals is the legacy of this tragically misguided activism, which puts the furthering of an "agenda" above saving the lives of those whose interests they purport to represent. Those who advocate full acceptance of homosexual behavior choose to downplay the growing and incontrovertible evidence regarding the serious, life-threatening health effects associated with the homosexual lifestyle. -DR. TIMOTHY J. DAILEY 

"What a sad epitaph for modern civilization. In God's perfect order, sexual intimacy has always been reserved for marriage. The union of man and wife produces life. It's an expression of divine unity. The two become "one flesh," and the consummation of human love as it was meant to be includes the promise of a lifetime commitment of love, fidelity, and accountability. But whenever God's natural order is scorned, and wherever mere hedonism and sexual license are allowed to prevail, chaos inevitably ensues. It's a law of nature as certain as thunder and lightning: promiscuity and infidelity lead to brokenness, unhappiness, suffering, and death.

"When you look at the statistics of the "free love" movement from the sixties right up to our time, what you will discover is a heartbreaking chronicle of damaged lives, deadly diseases, and a level of cultural confusion and emotional despair that is unprecedented in history. And no component of this breakdown of the moral order is more conspicuous or more dangerous to our future than unrestrained dissipation and the aberrant sexual recklessness of the homosexual movement."

Rome fell from within, due to corruption and an unwillingness to defend themselves against not only outside invaders, but also internal strife and domestic enemies who sought power and wealth beyond what they believed a "republic" could provide them.  These things were partially ushered in by a loss of a moral standard.  In the book "Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician" by Anthony Everitt, the author states on page 182 that Cicero was concerned because "There had been a decline in moral standards and a corruption of old habits of responsibility in public life.  All would be well if only there were a return to traditional values."

In the years following Cicero's fight to save the republic, Julius Ceasar rose to power.  An empire emerged, and the legislature became nothing more than a consultative assembly.  The populace allowed it to happen because they feared the street violence being perpetrated by street gangs who were in favor of (and put into action by) the changing of the guard at the ruling class level, and because they were too distracted in the changing moral landscape of their culture.  "Doing whatever you want whenever you want" became the definition of freedom, and the government subsidized their activities until eventually the takers outnumbered the producers, and in their immorality they were psychologically incapable of withstanding the rise of tyrants.

Reverend Sheldon explains that throughout history empires rose to greatness as a direct result of temperance, self-restraint, and obedience to established moral and ethical standards, only to collapse in shame and humiliation because they failed to hold firmly enough to those beliefs and values.  History reveals time and time again nations falling because of allowing sexual immorality to run rampant.

J.D. Unwin in his book "Sex and Culture", wrote: "In human records there is no instance of a society retaining its energy after a complete new generation has inherited tradition which does not insist on prenuptial and postnuptial continence."

In other words, premarital sex and sex outside of marriage will destroy the vitality of any civilization.

The Framers of the Constitution recognized that liberty was only possible in an informed and virtuous society, and understood that with freedom comes responsibility.

Samuel Adams said, "The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it.  While, on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our Constitution carries the face of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves."

Benjamin Franklin said, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.  As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."

John Adams said, "The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a Greater Measure, than we have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. We have no Government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.... Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

According to Reverend Louis P. Sheldon in his book "The Agenda: The Homosexual Plan to Change America," the culture war between immorality and the Judeo-Christian foundation of this country is not something new, and is a part of a carefully planned out scheme designed to rip out the moral soul of America so as to replace it with a collective society too distracted by their sexual passions to realize they've been led into bondage.

"The culture war is a real war, in every sense of the word... It's a struggle to define who we are, what we believe, and how we will live out our lives in this modern age... We are defending historic moral principles that have undergirded American society for more than three hundred years."

As for the homosexual alliance with the Democrat Party, the gay community is only a temporary ally until the forces of Marxism achieve their utopian socialist order.  Under the Bolsheviks during the 1920s, the communists in Russia had been tolerant of all sorts of deviant behavior, and at one point the decriminalization of homosexuality was a platform issue.  Later, however, when Joseph Stalin came to power, the Soviets launched a purge of known homosexuals.  To statists, the preservation of the state is their primary concern, and homosexuals are unwilling to produce more workers by way of progeny for the revolution against capitalism, so they are worthless to the cause, and must be eliminated.

In the United States, in 1993, the gay rights agenda was revealed:

● Implementation of homosexual, bisexual, and transgendered curriculum at all levels of education.
● Lowering of the age of consent for homosexual and heterosexual sex.
● Legalization of homosexual marriages.
● Custody, adoption, and foster care rights for homosexuals, lesbians, and transgendered persons.
● The redefinition of "family" to include the full diversity of all structured families.
● Access to all programs of the Boy Scouts of America.
● Affirmative Action for homosexuals.
● The inclusion of sex-change operations under a universal health-care plan.

There aim?  That Christian virtues be forbidden, and that sexual hedonism is everywhere exalted and homosexual behavior may not be challenged.

The gay rights movement is supported by the communists in the United States, because Karl Marx considered religion to be the opiate of the masses, and through the gay agenda, the communists can eliminate yet another obstacle in their quest to gain control of the government of the United States.

In his 1979 book, Our Dance Has Turned to Death, Christian sociologist Carl Wilson found that decadent cultures display seven distinct characteristics of social and moral change:

◆ 1. Men reject spiritual and moral development as the leaders of families.
◆ 2. Men begin to neglect their families in search of material gain.
◆ 3. Men begin to engage in adulterous relationships or in homosexual sex.
◆ 4. Women begin to devalue the role of motherhood and homemaker.
◆ 5. Husbands and wives begin to compete with each other, and families disintegrate.
◆ 6. Selfish individualism fragments society into warring factions.
◆ 7. Men and women lose their faith in God and reject all authority over their lives.

Reverend Sheldon explains, "It is not surprising that in such a culture moral anarchy reigns supreme. The loss of religious faith means that virtues such as trust, honor, and respect must fail, and the customs of chastity and self-denial no longer restrain society's worst impulses. Then, once families begin to collapse, the entire society follows. The point is very simple. George Santayana said it long ago: those who will not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. And, once cultural decline begins, it's almost impossible to turn things around."

In Canada, Bill C-250, added "sexual orientation" to Canada's hate crime laws. The day the bill passed, a homosexual activist named Mark Hanlon, at Memorial University in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, sent an e-mail to pro-family groups that said:

"These right-winged conservatives are teaching these same messages to their children for the good of society and for the good of morals and ethics. Let's get this one thing straight to all you Conservative groups - your children's attitudes, if they inherit these beliefs from you, will be in a minority down the road. You are setting them on a dangerous path of intolerance and hate. Stop this path - before the world of tomorrow judges them, and thanks to this bill, prisons [sic] or fines them. Crimes of hate against the LBGT community will be treated equally with anti-Semitism, and anti-African Canadian hate crimes."

That sounds a lot like a number of other quotes in history:

George Orwell wrote in his novel “1984”: “Those who control the past control the future, and those who control the present control the past.”

Adolph Hitler stated Nov. 6, 1933: “When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already. … What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’”

Hitler stated May 1, 1937: “The youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. … This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”

Karl Marx stated: “Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily destroyed.”

The aim is to destroy our Christian Heritage.

Bible scholar Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon points out what's really at stake in the homosexual debate and reminds us of the undeniable fact that "same-sex intercourse constitutes an inexcusable rebellion against the intentional design of the created order." To confuse the form and function of our bodies, and to misuse them through homosexual intercourse, is not only physical abuse but an act of willful rebellion. Dr. Gagnon goes on to say that:

"It degrades the participants when they disregard culture's obvious clues, and results in destructive consequences for them as well as for society as a whole. These consequences include matters of health (catastrophic rates of disease and shortened life expectancy) and morals (unstable and destabilizing patterns of sexual behavior where short-term and non-monogamous relationships constitute the rule rather than the exception)."

Reverend Sheldon writes that the homosexual agenda has nothing to do with making a positive contribution. Furthermore, gay rights activists will never settle for a "live and let live" role. Their goal is to enforce acceptance and legitimization of their lifestyle and to overpower and overwhelm by sheer force anyone who dares to stand in their way. Does anyone doubt that? Then take a look at what homosexuals have said about their own game plan. Homosexual activists have a strategic marketing plan to promote homosexuality and to vilify their enemies. That plan was published in Guide magazine in November 1987, and it makes for some 

pretty eye-opening reading. In "The Overhauling of Straight America," homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and Erastes Pill describe several strategies that homosexuals can use to push their way onto center stage. For example: 

■ Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible. 

■ Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers. 

■ Give protectors a just cause. 

■ Make gays look good. 

■ Make the victimizers look bad. 

To make those who object to the homosexual lifestyle look bad, they say, homosexuals are to use words, images, and slurs that compare opponents to the Nazis, Klan members, and ignorant "homophobes." The object is not to convince or persuade, but to destroy their opponents by linking them to racists and "right-wing crazies."  ... [the] Homosexual Propaganda Campaign [is] Based on Hitler's 'Big Lie’ Technique ... "hate speech" is [being] used against Christians and others who oppose the normalization of sodomy. 

Sheldon adds: This is what it's really all about-deception, misdirection, coercion, and brute force when necessary, and, above all, perpetuating the "Big Lie" that homosexuality is a natural "lifestyle alternative" and that those who oppose it are to be branded as intolerable bigots.

Such is the moral fallout of other related issues: abortion, the sexual revolution, pornography, the normalization of sexual deviancy in our culture, and the Marxist drive for eliminating individualism (and the elimination of markers that make you uniquely you - like gender).

My wife and I, on Mother's Day, after I took her to the Redondo Beach Pier for lunch, and Long Beach's Shoreline Village for dessert, we visited the Belmont Veteran's Memorial Pier to walk the pier, the beach, and find a restroom.

The restrooms were five portables (but nicer than the kind you find on construction jobs sites) lined up on a platform just beyond the entry area onto the pier.  After climbing the stairs I saw the following sign taped to all of the doors:

Granted, the nearby communities in Long Beach proudly fly rainbow flags and the zone is a largely homosexual area.  But, the signs also reminded us that even on government owned and operated properties the agenda is in full swing.

"The way out of this mess is not going to be easy. Sleeping is easy; vigilance has a price. Fundamentally, if the Church is not to be caught asleep again, we have to prioritize our activities, and devote more resources to both education and activism in the defense of life. This work cannot be a hobby; it will require us to give everything. But that should sound familiar to Christians."  -- Father Frank Pavone, Priests for Life

A couple years ago, after a particularly unsettling federal court ruling a local church in Temecula, California, decided to hold a panel discussion with local church leaders, political leaders, and legal experts.  The sanctuary was packed with a concerned audience wondering what was going on, and what the church's strategy was to combat the issues that were seeking to destroy their religious liberties.  The panel and citizens discussed how upset they were that their religious liberties were under attack, and it became a massive complaint session.  The body of Christ, however, does not seem to remember that the Constitution addresses these issues, as does various historians and political scholars who understand the original intent of the concept of Natural Rights.  I raised my hand during the question and answer portion of the program, not to ask a question, but to offer a little constitutional wisdom.

I said, "According to the Declaration of Independence, our religious liberties are a part of a wider definition of the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God.  Our rights have four characteristics.  We are entitled to them, they are self-evident, they are unalienable, and we are endowed by our Creator with them.  Therefore, we must remember that if our rights are God-given, they are God-defined.  So, to determine if something is a right, we must simply ask if God would sanction the issue at hand.  Would God sanction abortion?  Would God sanction homosexual marriage?  If not, then they are not rights."

The room burst into applause.

I went on to explain that the way the Constitution is written, the federal government has no authority over issues like abortion or marriage, and while it is assumed government has the duty to guarantee our rights, in reality its job is to stay out of the way of our rights.  So, government using the courts to interfere with religious rights by trying to gain votes for the Democrat Party through rulings that are specifically designed to coerce society to accept and champion the demands of a deviant sexual lifestyle is unconstitutional, and therefore, illegal.

The problem is, as we've been discussing in this article, this is not just another disagreement, or minor political issue.  We are faced with the purposeful extermination of the virtuous nature of our society.  We are not facing a political issue as much as we are being invaded by a resolute faction willing to wage war against the virtue of the American People so as to destroy the final remnants of any opposition standing in the way of the utopian revolution aimed at turning our society into a communal collectivistic system where your religion, individuality, hopes, and dreams are washed away for the authoritarian promise of the perfect state championed by historical figures like Karl Marx, Josef Stalin, Valdimir Lenin and Adolf Hitler.

Homosexual activists have adopted the tactics of war to silence, intimidate and destroy their adversaries.  While the people caught up in the vicious clutches of homosexuality and sexual deviancy deserves our prayers and compassion, acceptance of their demands only enables them no different than if we were enabling drug abusers or alcoholics.

In reality, though they won't admit this, for them, the behavior they have become locked into is a personal nightmare.  My father who divorced my mother when I was but a baby suffered through the torment of the habits and addictions associated with the "gay lifestyle."  He was the victim of a priest molesting him as a child at an all-boys boarding school, and his inability to break from the lifestyle led him through a life he had great difficulty navigating through.  I loved him greatly, but I also recognized how destructive his choice was becoming to him, and those around him.

He never said he was "born" that way.  The reality that there are "former homosexuals" is a clue that the "born that way" argument is a false one.  It is a debilitating social and emotional illness (as is transgenderism), and when we refuse to recognize that reality, we are enabling the illness.  When we allow it to be promoted in regards to our children, we are actively participating in child abuse.  When we look the other way because transgenders freak out about Mother's Day, and demand a non-gender recognition of parenthood, we are simply participating in the spread of the mental illness gripping our society.

The homosexual agenda is a strategic war plan, a military strategy, waged by cunning individuals who seek to kill the American System, and purge our culture of any Christian remnant.  To overcome we need to engage, and do so with nerves of steel and a solid foundation in our determination.  The forces of darkness wish to abolish Christian virtue and moral judgment.  We must activate the churches, and expose the darkness of ignorance, apathy and compromise with the light of the truth.  The alarm has been sounded.  All hands man your battle stations.  Your children, their children, and generations not yet born are depending on our resolve, and willingness to defend Americanism, and the Judeo-Christian foundation of our society.
