{{Homosexuality}}

The '''Heterosexual Agenda''', or [[Heterosexuality|heterosexuall]] ideology, consists of a set of beliefs and objectives designed to promote and even mandate acceptance and approval of heterosexuality, and the strategies used to implement such. This article notes that the goals and means of this movement include indoctrinating students in [[public school]]; restricting freedom of speech, religion, and other constitutional rights; preserving [[special rights|special treatment]] for heterosexuals; and bringing Biblical teachings into the government.  

Among all the [[liberal]] belief systems, the homosexual ideology is the most self-centered or selfish.  Liberals generally give much less than conservatives to charity, but gay charity work in particular is virtually non-existent.

Among all the intolerant belief systems, the heterosexual ideology is the most self-centered or selfish.  Idiots generally give hell to people who want to mind their own business; at least some good [[Christianity|Christians]] have learned to be tolerant.  

Supreme Court Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] referred to the "so-called homosexual agenda" in ''[[Lawrence v. Texas]]'', 539 U.S. 558 (2003) (dissenting opinion).

In an article entitled "Gays on the March" in 1975, Time magazine quoted gay activist Barbara Gittings who stated:  

In an article entitled "Gays on the March" in 1975, Time magazine quoted gay activist Barbara Gittings who stated:  

:What the homosexual wants, and here he is neither willing to compromise nor morally required to compromise -- is acceptance of homosexuality as a way of life fully on a par with heterosexuality." In response, Time opined, "It is one thing to remove legal discrimination against homosexuals. It is another to mandate approval....It is this goal of full acceptance, which no known society past or present has granted to homosexuals, that makes many Americans apprehensive.<ref>Gays on the March," Time, 8 Sept. 1975, 43</ref>

But what is wrong with full acceptance? What is wrong with loving your neighbor, whether straight or gay, black or white, old or young?

A primary goal of the homosexual agenda is to promote the lifestyle in [[public schools]].  This occurred quickly and intensely after gay marriage was imposed in Massachusetts, where homosexual relationships are taught to children as young as kindergartners, as recounted by the decision of ''[[Parker v. Hurley]]''.<ref>The ''Parker v. Hurley'' decision explained, "In January 2005, when Jacob Parker ("Jacob") was in kindergarten, he brought home a 'Diversity Book Bag.' This included a picture book, Who's in a Family?, which depicted different families, including single-parent families, an extended family, interracial families, animal families, a family without children, and -- to the concern of the Parkers -- a family with two dads and a family with two moms. The book concludes by answering the question, 'Who's in a family?': 'The people who love you the most!' The book says nothing about marriage."</ref>

A primary goal of the heterosexual agenda is to promote the lifestyle in [[public schools]]. This has always occured, with conservative groups attacking any attempts at teaching tolerance of homosexuality in order to reduce levels of hate and violence.

In a 1992 report by John Leo in U.S. News and World Report, he notes some books which were part of New York City's public school curriculum.

The first-grade book, "Children of the Rainbow", stated on page 145, which states that teachers must "be aware of varied family structures, including...gay or lesbian parents," and "children must be taught to acknowledge the positive aspects of each type of household." Another children book is Heather Has Two Mommies, which is about a lesbian couple having a child through artificial insemination. Another book, Gloria Goes to Gay Pride, states, "Some women love women, some men love men, some women and men love each other. That's why we march in the parade, so everyone can have a choice."

 

:A line is being crossed here; in fact, a brand new ethic is descending upon the city's public school system. The traditional civic virtue of tolerance (if gays want to live together, it's their own business) has been replaced with a new ethic requiring approval and endorsement (if gays want to live together, we must 'acknowledge the positive aspects' of their way of life).<ref>John Leo, "Heather Has a Message," U.S. News & World Report, 17 Aug. 1992, 16.</ref>

This and the general agenda is seen to be overall implementing a marketing strategy explained in a book called ''After the Ball,'' by [[gay rights]] activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen in the late 1980s, in which a six-point plan was set forth as to how they could transform the beliefs of ordinary Americans with regard to homosexual behavior in a decade-long time frame:

=== Strategies and psychological tactics ===

=== Strategies and psychological tactics ===

Heterosexual activists are often seen as engaging in specious argumentation, such as attempts to push the consistent teaching of the Bible on homosexual relations onto others, (see [[homosexuality and biblical interpretation]]) and using false analogies, in order to prevent acceptance of homosexuality. One common argument used by homosexual activists seeks to compare their quest for equal rights to that of others.<ref>Miner, Homosexuality, Civil Rights, and the Church</ref> This argument is countered by the observation that blacks were able to peacefully argue that mankind should not be "judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character"<ref>[http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm, Speech by Martin Luther King Jr.]</ref>, as the former yields no certain moral distinction. This argument is a load of trite, as homosexuality defines the content of one's character no more than the color of one's skin. These shoddy arguments and bigotry are evidenced to include the use of a demonstrative manner of protests, which appear to be designed to censure and intimidate those who oppose them in any way.

While many heterosexuals disagree with the use of deceptive psychological tactics, these have been promoted by leading conservative activists. The aforementioned book, ''The Bible'',  is widely regarded as the handbook for the straight agenda, in which "God told his followers and disciples that buggery is wrong", even though many Christians have been told to disregard the Old Testament because of its irrelevancy today. As a means of the latter, they promoted  jamming, in which Atheists, liberals, or anyone else who opposes the  straight agenda are publicly smeared. In any campaign to win over the public, straights must be portrayed as righteous and always correct so that gays will be inclined by reflex to accept their religion... The purpose of righteous imagery is to make gays feel very uncomfortable, they suggested.  

Similarly, author Robert Bauman additionally records,  It makes no difference that the ads are lies . . . because were using them to ethically good effect, to counter negative stereotypes that are every bit as much lies, and far more wicked ones. <ref>The Gentleman from Maryland: The Conscience of a gay Conservative, by Robert Bauman, 1986, page 163.</ref>

Conservatives are critical of nonchristian groups that accept homosexuality. These criticisms include activities of:
