Homosexuality: Cool to be Gay?
7/15/11
Sam Dilbeck tells this story: While substitute teaching a few years ago, I noticed two girls surrounded by an entourage of nervous boys. Intrigued, I waited to see if any of the boys would have enough courage to engage the girls. Finally a few of the boys did. They talked for a few minutes with a lot of awkward grins, hushed giggles, and hair twisting. I listened to their discussion and was appalled. The girls were trying to convince the boys that they were lesbians, not because they were, but because it was cool. That was in 1997, the year Ellen came out as the first openly gay lead character on primetime television.
Now, over a decade later, the influence of the homosexual agenda on American (and global) culture cannot be ignored. As the homosexual lifestyle gains acceptance, how should Christians react?
Overhauling Straight America
A decade before those sixth grade girls played chic lesbians, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen outlined a strategic plan to change Americas perception of the homosexual lifestyle. The first order of business is the desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if you can get them to think that it is just another thing with a shrug of their shoulders, then you battle for legal and social rights are virtually won. (Kirk and Pill The Overhauling of Straight America 1987)
The Kirk-Madsen strategy contains six steps for normalizing homoseluality.
1. Talk about gay and gayness as loudly and often as possible.
2.Portray gays as victims, not aggressive challengers.
3.Seek to give protectors of homosexuality a just cause.
4.Control the image of homosexuals and make them look good.
5.Make opponents of homosexual activity look bad.
6.Raise money for their homosexual overhaul. They estimate that 10-15 million practicing homosexuals could raise a war chest of $20-30 illsion. Their plan also advocates soliciting funds from individuals and corporations that are sympathetic to the homosexual agenda.
