mLine 28:
Line 28: − Strangely, most heterosexual, heteroromantic, cisgender Christians seem to know what this is than anyone whom Christians would actually deem "homosexual" even though there is so much more to gender and sexuality than homosexuality and heterosexuality. However, there is a rather humorous tag on Tumblr, maintained primarily by LGBT+ teenagers, which jokes about the "homosexual agenda."+ − Ari Paden, a famed feminist writer who does much to promote the homosexual agenda, has joked that if any Christian actually said the words "homosexual agenda" to their face, they would press their wrist, making "beep beep" noises, hold their wrist up to their face, look furtively around, and say the following: "Headquarters? The straights have FOUND OUT about the gay agenda! They know about our secret plan to take over the world, make it fabulous, and have Laverne Cox be our queen! Send in the capitalism-destroying lesbian witch ninjas!" At the Christian's confused expression, Paden would look their unsuspecting victim "dead in the eyes" and whisper, "The lesbian witch ninjas are coming to eat your soul." This editor believes that would be rather fun to see. + − Paden, aided by their loyal underling Freyja (who is, like Paden, a nonbinary asexual), runs a feminist blog called ''A Team Of Amoebas'', which talks about different facets of oppression and privilege, as well as featuring poetry, articles, and videos. The name is a reference to the writers' shared sexual orientation, as asexuals often receive rude comments about asexual reproduction upon coming out (interestingly, they also receive questions about whether or not they touch their genitalia in order to receive self-induced pleasure. If you are wondering, some of them do and others don't. However, many asexuals do not feel comfortable discussing this and it's really none of your business anyway, so please do not ask).+ − Paden does, however, admit that there is a homosexual agenda. In order to find out what it is, please read the following article: [[http://ateamofamoebas.blogspot.com/2015/04/some-things-christian-conservatives.html]]+ − Ellen Degeneres, the glorious human and proud lesbian who is the host of ''The Ellen Show'', once received a rather ridiculous message about her so-called "homosexual agenda" from conservative Larry Tomczak, who appears to watch a disproportionate amount of gay TV. This is how Ellen responded: [[http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/ellen-degeneres-responds-to-gay-agenda-accusations-with-humor-2015151]]+ − Many Christians seem to believe that gay people are:+ − 1. Not full, autonomous human beings+ − 2. Not deserving of the same rights which straight, cis Christians take for granted − 3. Intolerant of Christianity (as a matter of fact, some Christians are gay) − 4. Able to magically turn straight upon marriage to someone who does not share their biological sex − 5. Crossdressers (most crossdressers are straight men, actually) − 6. Pedophiles (This is rather hypocritical, considering the Catholic Church's little decades-long cover-up of pedophile priests.) − 7. Sexually attracted to everyone who shares their genitalia (That would be rather exhausting. Also, what about gay asexuals?) − 8. Looking to turn straight people gay (If this were possible, the problem of the notorious 'straight crush' would have been solved long ago.) − 9. Trying to wipe out Christianity (Not true. Again, some Christians are gay. And gay people do not want to wipe out Christianity. They simply want to know how ''their'' private lives affect you in any way, and they want you to please take your own advice and follow the First Amendment that you so often like to cite. Freedom of religion does not mean only freedom of ''Christianity''.) − This is incredibly baffling and illogical. This editor wonders if you realize that someone you know is gay and likely does not fulfill any of these stereotypes. It is, in fact, possible that you might know a lesbian who enjoys makeup and dresses or a gay man who works as a trucker. The only homosexual tendencies are actually ''being'' homosexual.+ − + − 1. She is asexual (if you are unfamiliar with this term, it means a lack of sexual attraction regardless of gender. An asexual might or might not desire a romantic relationship, however).+ − 2. There is nothing wrong with her hormones. Please do not ask her or any other asexual you encounter to have their hormones checked.+ − 3. She likes wearing dresses.+ − 4. She likes wearing makeup.+ − 5. She likes wearing flowers and bows in her hair.+ − 6. She likes knitting.+ − 7. She likes cooking.+ − 8. She is a dancer.+ − 9. She makes her own jewelry.+ − 10. She likes pink.+ − 11. She likes painting her nails.+ − 12. She loves babies and small children and has a very nurturing personality, although pregnancy sounds like a nightmare and she would rather adopt a child.+ − 13. She actually has a fantastic relationship with God and admires Jesus very much, so don't assume that she's been "possessed by Satan" or anything like that.+ − 14. She very firmly believes that the majority of those who use this site are brainwashed and she feels pity for you, because she has family members who are much like you, and she only edited this article because she couldn't see any other way to help you. There are programs that CAN help you, though. Please seek them out.+ − 15. Although she is not sexually attracted to women and is very feminine, she identifies as a lesbian because she is ''romantically'' interested in women. Yes, it is in fact possible for gay love to not be about sexual activity.+ − 16. She goes on missions trips every summer.+ − 17. She has several lesbian friends who are every bit as feminine as she.+ − 18. She also has several male friends. No, lesbians do not hate men.+ − 19. She was once abused by two Christian friends, who claimed to care about her, for several months - just for being ''vocal'' about gay rights. These Christians did not yet know that she was a lesbian herself because she was afraid to tell them. They seemed to think they knew more about gay people than she did, yet they had known her for nearly her entire life and still assumed she was straight. After equating homosexuality to murder and rape, they demanded to know why gay people were not more tolerant of Christians. After the whole debacle was over, the author began to feel panicky, sick, and anxious whenever she thought about Christianity and realized that identifying as a Christian was detrimental to her physical and mental health. So she stopped. The author would like you to know that many gay people were raised in Christianity, but no longer identify as Christian...not because they're evil or they hate Jesus, but because doing so was damaging to their health.+ − 20. She would like very much for straight Christians to just leave her alone if they cannot treat her with the same respect they would any straight Christian.+ + +

Joseph P. Gudel, in ''That Which is Unnatural''<ref>[http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/cri/cri-jrnl/web/crj0108a.html "That Which is Unnatural" Homosexuality in Society, the Church, and Scripture] Part Two in a Two-Part Series on Homosexuality, from the Christian Research Journal, Winter 1993, page 8</ref> contended that the homosexual movement,
:has been militantly demanding not just the homosexuals' right to do whatever they wish to do behind closed doors, but, more importantly, that society fully accept their lifestyle as both healthy and normal, even demanding special rights and legislation as an "oppressed minority." Gudel quotes various sources evidencing this.
In a 1987 speech to the National Press Club in Washington, homosexual spokesperson Jeff Levi proclaimed,
:We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right — as heterosexual Americans already have — to see government and society affirm our lives. <ref>Jeff Levi, in William Dannemeyer, Shadow in the Land (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1989), 86.</ref>
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>
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>
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 editor of this article would, in fact, like to state these facts about herself:
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."
Leo commented,
: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>
Dr. Judith A. Reisman in her extensive ''Crafting “Gay” Children'',<ref>http://www.defendthefamily.com/_docs/resources/6390601.pdf</ref> reports that Harvard homosexual Toby Morotta, PhD, stated that in the 1970s, members of the Gay Activists Alliance - who were trained in the “zapping" of any who rebuffed homosexuality.<ref> Toby Marotta: THE POLITICS OF HOMOSEXUALITY: HOW LESBIANS AND GAY MEN HAVE MADE THEMSELVES A POLITICAL AND SOCIAL FORCE IN MODERN AMERICA, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1981 at 319</ref> And that these formed the “Gay Academic Union,” (GAU) which was made up of faculty and students in major universities. She states that the GAU has long fought for domination of its worldview within the academic community, and professional journals commonly assigned GAU and other homosexual peer reviewers to research touching on homosexuality, generally resulting in a quick death to possible unfavorable findings. <ref>See extensive reports in regular NARTH Bulletins as well as Ray Johnson, “American Psychology: The Political Science, at 53-57.</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:
:"The agenda of homosexual activists is basically to change America from what they perceive as looking down on homosexual behavior, to the affirmation of and societal acceptance of homosexual behavior." <ref name="Winn07252003">''After the Ball'' (1989), quoted from Winn, Pete (7-25-2003) [ ''Q&A: The Homosexual Agenda''] Citizenlink</ref> "Thus propagandistic advertising can depict all opponents of the gay movement as homophobic bigots who are 'not Christian' and the propaganda can further show them [homosexuals]] as being criticized, hated and shunned..."<ref>After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90's, by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen (Author) (p. 152-153)</ref>
[[Focus on the Family]] provides additional quotes from After the Ball, outlining key points of the homosexual agenda:<ref name="Winn07252003"/><ref>Kirk, Marshall K. and Erastes Pill (11-1987) ''The Overhauling of Straight America'' Available at [http://www.article8.org/docs/gay_strategies/overhauling.htm ''STRATEGIES OF THE HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT: "The Overhauling of Straight America"'']</ref>
#"Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible." (They use late night air waves and special channels, as well as their right to peacefully assemble to do so.)
#"Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers."
#"Give homosexual protectors a just cause."
#"Make gays look good."
#"Make the victimizers look bad."
#"Get funds from corporate America."
[[United States Supreme Court]] Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] wrote:
{{cquote|Today's opinion is the product of a Court, which is the product of a law-profession culture, that has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda, by which I mean the agenda promoted by some homosexual activists directed at eliminating the moral opprobrium that has traditionally attached to homosexual conduct.<ref>[http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=000&invol=02-102#dissent1 ''LAWRENCE et al. v. TEXAS''] at findlaw.com</ref>}}
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Eliason Vic Eliason] of [http://www.crosstalkamerica.com Crosstalk America] rightly points out that if all Americans turned homosexual it would only take a few generations for the United States to lose most of the population of the country through lack of procreation. This would make the US more vulnerable to attack by our enemies.
