Silencing Christians: The Gay Agenda
| Hot: |  |  | | | |
From time to time the wife and I receive emails from the all powerful *eyeroll* Joe Solmonese and the HRC. Tonight the wife got an email about a nationwide special that the American Family Association produced called Speechless: Silencing Christians. I will go on and say that I have not read the book they reference every 10 seconds, After the Ball: How America will conquer its fear and hatred of Gays in the ’90’s by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. The AFA sponsored a mini series on the Inspiration channel called Silencing Christians. This nationwide special is that mini series’ bastard son. Thankfully, it wasn’t aired in many places–but you can watch the full hour long special by clicking the link above.
Throughout the entire video I was screaming at my laptop. Somehow, I feel like I should apologize to it. The entire video focuses on how we homosexuals and lesbians (since when are lesbians not homosexual?) use propaganda tactics to force Americans to accept our way of life as acceptable, normal, productive, etc. They take quotes from After the Ball out of context to prove their point. The AFA slams us for using propaganda to further ourselves….but that video is blatant proof that they’re doing the same thing.
Here are just a few things they mention in the video:
1) An “ex-lesbian” (with a horrible haircut) talking about how she found Jesus and stopped being a lesbian. She currently is working/volunteering on a hotline for other gay people to call for guidance on how to stop being gay. She said that we demand tolerance for our lifestyle, but that we don’t tolerate her story. She also said that anyone can be cured…that its the weak people who quit because it’s too hard. If she feels like she isn’t gay anymore and she’s happy being straight, who am I to say she is wrong? If the people calling her hotline feel that way, I can’t stop them. I know its hard to deny that you’re gay. I did it. I tried so hard ot be straight for my family. But in the end, I was miserable. I wanted to die. So no, I can’t understand how she is happy…how anyone who has been “cured” can be happy. But who am I to say they aren’t? I can only speak from my own experiences.
2) A christian man in Canada wrote an editorial to his local paper talking about how parents and teachers in the community need to open their eyes to the homosexual agenda and that it is NOT okay to teach their kids. He was charged with a hate crime in Canada. In Canada, they do not have the same rights of free speech that we have in America. This man blames homosexuals for his legal troubles. I think, before you publish an editorial, you should know the limits on your freedom of speech. It isn’t my fault, or any other homosexual’s fault that Canada doesn’t have the same free speech rights that America does.
3) Gay people are seeking SPECIAL RIGHTS. Tell me, what special rights do we want? We want to be able to get married and for our relationships to be recognized under the law. We want to be able to adopt children. We want to be able to visit our loved ones in the hospital. We want joint health insurance. We want fair treatment at work. How are those “special” rights. Straight people enjoy those rights EVERY SINGLE DAY.
4) Marriage is a religious institution. If marriage is a religious institution, Atheists shouldn’t be able to marry either. Enough said.
As I write this, I’m getting more and more angry…so I’ll end here. All the video accomplishes is to prove that the AFA is a group of hypocrites. Its wrong for gay people to use any kind of propaganda to get our opinions out and to further our agenda…but its okay for Christians to do the same thing? I’ve considered writing to the AFA to tell them exactly how I feel. Whether or not I do it is still to be determined. I have their mailing address if anyone wants it

That is funny (and infuriating!) that they would say that Homosexuals use propaganda tactics to “FORCE Americans to accept our way of life as acceptable”. Because that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!
If anything, the religious right forces their beliefs on Americans way more than homosexuals. All we want are equal rights, we don’t want to make all Americans gay the way that fundamental christians want to turn everyone into christians!
It’s religious people like that who converted me to be an athiest!
