Agenda? What “Gay” Agenda?<br />

One example of the “gay” movement’s reliance on deception is its audacious insistence that<br />

it has no agenda. Homosexual activists and their best-trained allies ritually challenge any reference<br />

to the “gay” agenda with an affected tone of incredulity. “What agenda?,” they exclaim, as if the<br />

<strong>entire</strong> homosexual movement, with its hundreds of organizations and thousands of activists, all<br />

working to achieve specific political goals, were invisible. What is most interesting about this is not<br />

that they want to deceive people into believing that they have no agenda, but that they would insist<br />

this is true in the face of reality.<br />

What does it tell you about a group of people obviously organized and working to change<br />

society, who not only pretend to have no agenda, but who also make the promotion of this selfevident<br />

falsehood a leading tactic in their campaign? They must either be very stupid (which is<br />

clearly not the case), or very confident that they can make the public accept the lie. They seem<br />

convinced, just like the Nazi propagandists who advocated this tactic, that if they tell the lie long<br />

enough and loudly enough, it will supplant the truth. Perhaps it will. Is it really any more of a lie<br />

than the assertion (now accepted by a great many otherwise intelligent people) that homosexuality<br />

is perfectly normal behavior equivalent to normal sexual relations between husbands and<br />

wives?<br />

Unfortunately, most of the deceptive rhetoric used by the “gay” movement is more subtle.<br />

If Christians are to restore respect for the truth, they must learn how to recognize and expose these<br />

lies.<br />

The Illogic of Pro-“Gay” Arguments<br />

The success of the campaign to propagandize so-called “gay rights” is an amazing triumph of<br />

rhetorical manipulation. He who defines the terms controls the debate -- and by extension, public<br />

opinion. On this issue the terms have been defined (in many cases invented) by the talented<br />

sophists of the “gay” movement.<br />

Sophistry, it must be noted, is the ancient Greek art of persuasion by subtly false reasoning.<br />

The key to overcoming sophistry is to simplify and clarify what the sophists have intentionally made<br />

complex and vague. That process begins by defining the terms and concepts being used in the<br />

arguments. One quickly discovers that most arguments advocating “gay rights” depend upon hidden<br />

false assumptions and deliberately ambiguous terms. It’s all smoke and mirrors.<br />

Among the most common terms and concepts in the “gay rights” arsenal are: homosexuality,<br />

sexual orientation, heterosexism, diversity, multi-culturalism, inclusiveness, discrimination, homophobia and<br />

tolerance. These words and phrases are used by “gay” sophists to frame the question of homosexuality<br />

as a civil rights issue. It is a context chosen to favor homosexuals to the extent that they cast<br />

themselves as victims and their opponents as oppressors. Yet even within this context, “gay”<br />

arguments are easily refuted.<br />
