Homosexual Agenda Trying to Declare Flaws as Virtues

We may thank Dr. Laura Schlessinger, radio talk-show personality, for sounding the alarm that the American Psychological Association (APA) is lending itself to propaganda designed to soften attitudes toward sex between adults and children. In July 1998, the APA published “A Meta-Analytic Examination of Assumed Properties of Child Sexual Abuse Using College Samples.” The authors used 59 earlier “studies” (two dozen of which were never published or given peer review) to conclude that unforced sex between an adult and a child may not be a harmful experience but a “positive” one. The North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) considered the study “good news.” Their web site proclaims that “sex does not pose the danger to minors claimed by police, prosecutors and prudes crusading against man boy love.” Apparently, the current mayors of San Francisco and New York City agree. They march in “homosexual pride” parades, along with a self-identified group of proud and practicing pedophiles. In 1990, The Journal of Homosexuality published a double issue of articles dealing with “Male Intergenerational Intimacy.” One article asserted that a “loving pedophile” can provide “companionship, security and protection” for a young boy and should be viewed by parents as a “partner in the boy’s upbringing, someone to be welcomed into their home.”

Why defend pedophilia? The reason is obvious: The boy who has been sexually gratified by an adult male is a prime candidate to a same-sex orientation when he becomes an adult. Pedophilia is a gateway to homosexuality and bisexuality. Homosexuals are made, not born. In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of psychological disorders based not on new evidence or studies but on pressure from its homosexual members. In 1996, these psychiatrists took the final step. They revised their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to reflect a fundamental change in their approach to all sexual deviancies. The essence of the new approach: No matter how heinous the sexual perversion, if the pervert does not feel shame or remorse, he does not have a psychiatric problem. These experts have formally stripped morality, decency and common sense from the strategy they use in dealing with all forms of sexual perversion. The goal of their therapy, when guilt is present, is to get rid of the guilt, not the perverted behavior. The problem is not what people do, but how they feel about it. A cultural war is being waged against moral codes, traditional values and standards of common decency. It is a war to eliminate guilt and the sources of guilt. The sad truth is that we are all flawed and in need of redemption. Most of us, however, are not so arrogant and inverted that we seek to have our flaws declared virtues. Homosexuals are advancing a dangerous agenda, using the forces of government, the media, public schools and pseudo-science as battering rams to break down traditional family values.

They are mutilating the concept of Christian love by defining it as a moral imperative to embrace human depravity and tolerate wickedness. A few elements of that agenda: the right to marry someone of the same sex; the right to adopt and raise children; the repeal of sodomy laws; the enactment of hate-crime laws making crime against them more significant than crime against heterosexuals; affirmative-action status that gives them special protections against the attitudes of others; a special affirmative-action program for AIDS; a lowered age for legal consent of sexual behavior; access to the Boy Scouts of America; the pro-homosexual indoctrination of school children; and validation from every person and institution that their flaws are virtues. The homosexual community is consolidating its gains and expanding its purple umbrella to provide cover for other sexual disorientations such as transsexuals, transvestites and bisexuals. Are pedophiles next? Where does it end? It is said that morality is about drawing lines between what is acceptable and what is not. It is time for some serious line-drawing in America.
