To all: Most of you probably know that when Bob Knight, Linda
Harvey, Peter LaBarbera, Jeff Satinover, and the rest of us
are sounding the alarm about government schools collaborating
with homosexual activists, our concerns go far beyond
homosexuality itself. Those of us who have delved into
the netherworld of "sexual minorities" know that
nearly 20 years ago the homosexual activists made a
fairly explicit deal ( see Kirk and Madsen's After
the Ball) with other "sexual minorities"
that goes something like this: "Shut up and stay out
of sight until we have 'desensitized' society to our little
'peculiarities', and then we can bring forward your
idiosyncrasies and cultural demands. So, pedophiles,
transsexuals, polygamists, and all the rest of you colorful
folks, don't get in our way. Stay in the closet until it is
time to come out."
This has worked well, and in the last few years some of our
formerly closeted "sexual minorities" have started
tip-toeing out. For example, the Supreme Court's lawless
decision in Lawrence has particularly emboldened the
polygamists and polyamorists. For those of you unfamiliar with
polyamory, think of it simply as group marriage. It differs from
polygamy in that it includes any grouping of people.
Are many people seriously interested in polyamory, polygamy, or,
for that matter, "gay marriage" as a way of life? Of
course not, but you can expect to hear many, many champions
speaking out for these retrograde cultural developments.
Why? Because the real object is to destroy Christian marriage
and, especially, the culture it supports.
In the eyes of the cultural Marxist, Christian civilization is
the oppressor, and if the last vestiges of that civilization and
its values are to be destroyed, the
Christian model of family and marriage must not be "priviliged"
- that is, it must not be seen as normative. Thus, the
key strategy is simple: dethrone the Christian model of
marriage and family so that it seen as just one of many options -
just another thing.
As always, many Christians will think that this is far-fetched. Unfortunately,
the same people 10 years ago would have thought it far-fetched to
think that within a decade we would have to be devoting
substantial time and energy to hold back the tide of homosexual
"marriage." Nevertheless, for the doubters I am linking two
articles. The first points out that the the Canadian government is
already promoting the idea of dispensing with
"conjugality" (i.e. Christian marriage) as a cultural
norm. The second article reports on how American academics are
working to create a climate of opinion that will allow the US to
move in the direction of Canada.
