Who's The Victim Now?

As Indiana Rushes to the Call of "non-discrimination," Will Anyone Pause to Ask Questions?

As we have been reporting in our newsletters and weekly emails, and as you have likely observed in the media, Indiana is spiraling headlong into the abyss of special rights for homosexual behavior. This movement follows on the heels of the disastrous RFRA “fix” rushed through the state legislature in April. That fix, to a good law that wasn’t broken, was a national social engineering effort led by homosexual activists, liberal corporations and an eager media seeking to implement a new moral code upon the heartland of America.

This new code is obvious, the normalization of virtually any sexual behavior one desires. These cultural radicals have been smart enough not to overtly promote sodomy, polygamy or gender bending all at once. They instinctively have seemed to know that our postmodern society runs on emotion far more than rationality.

An emotional “hook” would be the most effective means of getting people to embrace abnormal sexual behaviors practiced by less than 5% of the population. They knew that emotional reactions to homosexual acts or cross-dressers could backfire. The hook had to manipulate people’s sense of fairness.

Activists knew they must portray themselves as the victims of hatred, intolerance and societal mistreatment. In fact, they openly admitted to this strategy in the foundational book, “After The Ball: How America Will Overcome Its Fear & Hatred of Gays, by homosexual activist Marshall Kirk.

Years ago, Kirk foretold the following strategy:

“Gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector. The mainstream should be told that gays are victims of fate, in the sense that most never had a choice to accept or reject their sexual preference.”

“A media campaign to promote the Gay Victim image should make use of symbols which reduce the mainstream’s sense of threat. . . this means that sympathetic figures of nice young people, old people, and attractive women would be featured.”

“Our campaign should not demand direct support for homosexual practices, but should instead take anti-discrimination as its theme.”

Any objective viewer would have to conclude that the homosexual activists have done extremely well in successfully carrying out their plans.

Today, homosexuality is more accepted than ever before in US history. The political power wielded by the homosexual community is off the charts, compared to their comprising only 3% of the population. They have redefined societal institutions like marriage, the family, even many churches. Their views dominate the media. Nineteen states have elevated homosexual behavior to the same civil rights status as one’s genetic skin color or inborn national origin.

In fact there is a great societal irony now that few have yet seemed to notice. Homosexuality has become so en vogue that there is a backlash against any and all of those who even question its virtue.

This gives rise to a reality check series of questions.

Here’s the point to this exercise, and this entire article. The real victims of intolerance, discrimination and societal scorn are not homosexuals. Who are the real victims? Increasingly, it is us - people of faith. How then, can we be silent?
