Homosexuality - Return to Sodom Buy this item Now!
Leviticus 18:22
The Hamilton Square Baptist Church intended its Sunday evening
worship service to be a blessing to the congregation. It turned out,
however, to be their worst nightmare. What happened that night will
remind you of what took place in the ancient city of Sodom on the
eve of its destruction. Be warned. This is not a story for the
faint-hearted.
It all began when Pastor Lou Sheldon, founder of the Traditional
Values Coalition, was invited to the church to speak on the topic of
homosexuality. Homosexual activists caught wind of the meeting and
leaked the story to the San Francisco press. The Bay Area Reporter
responded quickly and published a front-page article using language
guaranteed to inflame the local homosexual community. Immediately,
an avalanche of telephone calls began pouring into the church,
demanding the guest speaker not be allowed to speak.
By the time the service began, the church property was swarming with
homosexual and lesbian demonstrators. Alarmed that the situation was
out of control, Pastor David Innes called the authorities and asked
for more police backup. Innes could hardly believe his ears when he
was told, "This is San Francisco." What followed is best described
by one who was there.
"Pastor Charles and Donna McIlhenny were refused entry by the
rioters. ... The doors were completely blocked. ... Pastor McIlhenny
held on to Donna as they began to make their way through the mob who
were shouting and screaming in their ears, 'You will not enter this
church!' The rioters assaulted them, pushing and shoving them,
seeking to keep them from the front door. One of them grabbed
Donna's body, lifting her off the ground, and another put his arms
completely around her, attempting to pull her back away from the
entry. She stretched her arms out for help from a nearby police
officer who offered her no assistance. Her son, seeing she was in
trouble, pleaded with the officers to assist her. The officers ...
were unable to take control of the situation. ...
"As they made their way past the three officers at the door they
were pelted by rocks ... The rioters removed the Christian flag from
the flagpole and attached the gay flag under the U.S. flag ... When
the caretaker ... attempted to remove the gay flag, he was assaulted
and pelted with eggs. ... A single parent who is a church member and
her six-year-old daughter were told they could not enter the
building. A rioter grabbed her daughter's arm as she was clinging to
her mother and began interrogating her. ... The rioters then laid
down in the intersection of Geary and Franklin Streets, blocking all
traffic. ... A woman demonstrator exposed her bare breasts to church
members present in the area. ... People were shouted at and
threatened by the rioters as they made their way to their cars,
called 'Christian bigots,' hypocrites, fascists, homophobes, and
other expletives, some obscene. ... When the rioters saw children
standing in the lobby, they shouted, 'We want your children! Give us
your children!'... A nine-year-old boy was crying in hysterics.
'They are after me. It's me they want.' ... In spite of all this
malicious disruption, not a single arrest was made by the police."1
It's difficult to believe this could happen in twentieth century
America, isn't it? We might gain some comfort if this were an
isolated case, but unfortunately it isn't. Members of Calvary Chapel
in Costa Mesa, California, also found themselves the focus of
homosexual demonstrators. Angry over the church's outreach to the
Orange County gay community, militant homosexuals invaded the
church's Sunday morning service. Filling aisles, they shouted and
fondled themselves in full view of families in the congregation.2
Another incredible incident involved a Family Concerns Conference
brunch at First Baptist Church in Atlanta where a group of AIDS
demonstrators infiltrated the meeting and threw hundreds of condoms
at the attendees while chanting "safer sex saves lives." No arrests
were made even though the police had to remove the demonstrators
from the church's private property.3
You shouldn't be overly surprised by these stories. Jesus predicted
such things would happen near the end of time. "Likewise as it was
also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of
Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them
all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed."
Luke 17:28-30.
The truth of the matter is that our world has arrived at the day
Jesus predicted. It is modern Sodom. Let's take a look at just how
closely contemporary society fulfills this prophecy.
Ancient Sodom
Sodom once sat in a very fertile valley near where the Dead Sea is
presently located. Lot, the nephew of Abraham, took his place at the
city gates each afternoon to offer travelers a place to spend the
night. Lot's daily vigil at the gates was motivated by more than
mere hospitality. He was a man on a mission. He knew the atrocious
crimes the city's inhabitants were capable of inflicting upon any
foreigner found in the streets after dark. Horrible crimes.
Unspeakable.
One day, Lot sees three men approach Sodom's gates. They look tired.
It is late in the day, and the men will evidently spend the night
here. Lot hurries to be the first one to greet them. He has to do
quite a bit of persuading, but eventually he convinces the men to
lodge at his house.
That evening as they all gather to eat their evening meal, a loud
commotion outside grabs their attention. The sound of jeering and
yelling indicates a mob is in the streets. Ominously the noise draws
closer. Soon it stops outside their door. Rap! Rap! Rap! Loud
pounding causes everyone to nervously push back from the dinner
table.
Lot goes to the front door, opens it and quickly steps outside,
closing the door securely behind him. What he sees is not pretty.
His house is surrounded by every homosexual in Sodom. He knows what
they're after. They've come to rape the travelers. A cry erupts from
the crowd: "Where are the men which came to you tonight? Bring them
out to us that we may know them carnally [i.e., sexually]." Genesis
19:5.
Lot tries everything to dissuade them, even to the point of offering
them his two virgin daughters. "Please, my brethren, do not do so
wickedly! See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man;
let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish;
only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have
come under the shadow of my roof." Genesis 19:7, 8.
But the Sodomites are relentless. Their carnal lusts are driven by
an insatiable urge for male flesh. "Then they said, 'This one [Lot]
came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will
deal worse with you than with them.' So they pressed hard against
the man Lot, and came near to break down the door." Genesis 19:9.
Just as violent hands reach for Lot, the door of his home swings
open and he is swept inside to safety.
The ferocious crowd beats upon the little house. Lot's wife and
daughters huddle in the corner. Tears course down their cheeks as
they cling to one another. Shouts from outside mingling with crying
inside make it difficult for Lot to hear what his guests are telling
him. Are they really saying they are angels? Yes, they must be! How
else could he explain his miraculous deliverance from certain death?
Now it is clear to Lot. His rescuers are angels in human guise. And
they've just revealed to him that they are on a mission to destroy
the wicked cities of the plain. The next morning Lot barely escapes
with his life before God rains down fire and brimstone upon the
cities' wicked citizens.
Scripture testifies why God destroyed Sodom. "Because their sin is
very grave." Genesis 18:20. Sodom's sin of homosexuality cried for
justice from God. The city went down in infamy, leaving only the
legacy of its name to describe the very actions for which it
burned-sodomy.
Christian Confusion
Without question, this story reveals how God judges homosexuality.
Yet remarkably, there are some Christians who teach that God
condones it. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), in
its December 1991 document Human Sexuality and the Christian Faith,
states, "We must distinguish between moral judgments regarding
same-sex activity in biblical times and in our own time."
Furthermore, the ELCA challenges its members to evaluate prejudices
against homosexuals, insisting that "what we personally find
offensive is not necessarily sinful."4 Upon release of its October
1993 edition of The Church and Human Sexuality: A Lutheran
Perspective, the ELCA said "it recognizes that many Lutherans take
literally the biblical condemnations of homosexuality. ... But the
task force urges Lutherans to challenge such attitudes. It argues
that 'responsible biblical interpretation' strongly supports the
acceptance and even blessing of same-sex unions and emphasizes what
it says is the pre-eminent biblical command-to 'love your neighbor
as yourself.' "5
Over 70 bishops of the Episcopal Church signed a '"Statement of
Koinonia" which says, "We believe that some of us are created
heterosexual and some of us are created homosexual. We believe
homosexuality and heterosexuality are morally neutral." The
Washington, D.C., diocese officially approved the document and
declared that homosexuals who live together in monogamous
relationships should be "honored."6
The United Methodist Church has also convened panels to determine
whether homosexuality is a sin. Though the proposals to loosen
church strictures on homosexuality were rejected, the 1991 panel did
agree that biblical references to sexual practices should not be
viewed as binding "just because they are in the Bible."7 Probably
the church that has departed the most from God's Word on this
subject is the United Church of Christ. They permit homosexuals to
be ordained to ministry.8
Homosexuality in Scripture
In spite of all the confusing rhetoric, Scripture clearly classifies
homosexuality as sin. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners
will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10. Can the
truth be any plainer?
While this may sound harsh, it is not intended to be offensive. God
is not making a singular thrust against homosexuals. Notice that
many other sins are listed in this lineup. In fact, the first and
third in the list are primarily directed at heterosexuals.
Several other texts also mention homosexuals. Men having sex with
men is specifically condemned. "You shall not lie with a male as
with a woman. It is abomination." Leviticus 18:22. Paul writes that
"those who practice such things are deserving of death." Romans
1:32. And, in the fires of hell, John the Revelator saw the sexually
immoral. "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers,
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have
their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is
the second death." Revelation 21:8.
As a group, homosexuals are undeniably sexually immoral. Not only is
the practice of homosexuality itself an immoral act, but 43 percent
of homosexuals surveyed estimated they had sex with 500 or more
partners; 28 percent reported 1,000 or more partners. And 79 percent
admit that over half of their partners were total strangers.9
Furthermore, two homosexual researchers writing in The Gay Report
say that 73 percent of homosexuals surveyed had at some time had sex
with boys sixteen to nineteen years of age or younger.10
Many, however, refuse to accept God's testimony regarding
homosexuality. They echo the sentiments of Sodom when Lot declared
that homosexuality was wickedness. "This one [Lot] came in to stay
here, and he keeps acting as a judge." Genesis 19:9. Christians who
declare the truth about homosexuality are not acting as judges, but
merely declaring what the ultimate Judge has said. His is the final
court. And He has told us what will be found guilty and what will be
acquitted.
God Loves Homosexuals
While homosexuality is definitely sin, let's remember that it isn't
unpardonable. God's grace is powerful enough to give victory over
any temptation. Sexual or otherwise.
There is a difference between temptation and sin. Temptation is
enticement. Sin, on the other hand, happens when enticement is
entertained and/or entered into. One can therefore be tempted by
homosexuality, but repulse that temptation and not sin (James 1:14,
15).
Furthermore, one could have lived a life of homosexuality, repent of
it, and experience victory and salvation. This was obviously the
case with some of the early Christian converts. "And such [i.e.,
homosexuals] were some of you. But you were washed, but you were
sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and
by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:11. The good news is that
Jesus has the power to save us from any type of sin or temptation.
God doesn't hate homosexuals. He doesn't hate any sinner. It is sin
itself that He finds repulsive. He dislikes how sin degrades,
depresses, and victimizes the sinner and others. And as God doesn't
hate sinners, neither should we. Not all homosexuals are militant
activists. Many are likable people who have admirable qualities.
Christians should never treat gays with scorn and violence.
The way Jesus related to the woman caught in adultery is a good
model for Christians to follow. While the crowd waited with stones
in hand to bludgeon her to death, Jesus declared that the solution
was not capital punishment. Instead of casting a stone, He extended
love, forgiveness, and life-changing power to "go and sin no more."
John 8:11.
Two thousand years later, Jesus' love is still active in behalf of
sinners. Just ask Jami Breedlove. She lived a lesbian life for 12
years. Today she is happily married to Ben, the father of her two
children. What was it that changed her life? She says that it was
her childhood friend, Ben, who showed her God's unconditional love.
"He knew I was a lesbian. I wondered, Why would any man want to see
a woman who had lived with other women for 12 years? But Ben wanted
to reach me with the same love that Jesus has for me. He told me he
cared for me, and he wanted to be my friend. When I saw Ben's love
was unconditional, I began falling in love with him. ... I looked
deep in my heart, and I knew I had been living a sinful lifestyle. I
wanted out, so I repented and asked God to heal me."11
It is love that convicts, converts, and transforms. To love the
sinner while not condoning sin is the secret of Jesus' power to
change lives. Vera P. also made this wonderful discovery. Vera had
been a lesbian for five years when she and Jeanette met. She says,
Jeanette "knew exactly what I was, but she persistently invited me
to church and accepted me into her family. I was invited to all the
graduations, birthdays, and Christmas celebrations-even funerals-in
her large, extended family. ... I believe many homosexuals are
desperately seeking God. They are aching for genuine love and
acceptance, but they often don't recognize it in Jesus' disciples.
John 13:35 says that all men will know you are His disciples if you
have love one for another. The personal touch worked for me, and I
know it would work for countless others."12
Is Sexual Preference Genetic?
Many homosexuals like to say, "God made me this way." A supposed
genetic predisposition is cited as evidence to scientifically prove
their case. However, the studies used as proof are extremely faulty
and inconclusive. They are also very biased since homosexual
researchers often perform them. Clinical psychologist Joseph
Nicolosi, who has worked with over 200 homosexuals, comments on all
the press the poor research gains. "Very key to the gay liberation
movement is the finding of a biological basis so that they can be
considered 'a people.' So the gay community will celebrate the most
fragmentary evidence that they are 'born that way.' "13
In 1991, Science magazine published an article reporting the
findings of Dr. Simon LeVay. Dr. LeVay reportedly found brain
differences in homosexual men compared to heterosexual men. This new
discovery was quickly picked up by the media and reported far and
wide. But since that time, the study has come under fire.
In fact, the entire study is flawed. First, the sample size was very
small. It consisted of only 41 corpses. Secondly, all of the known
homosexuals had died of AIDS or AIDS-related complications. And the
16 corpses that were heterosexual men were only presumed
heterosexual. It is not known for sure if they had been
heterosexuals or not. One can't help but wonder if the fact that Dr.
LeVay is a homosexual himself didn't influence his study.14
While the press and most homosexuals laud LeVay's research, a few
homosexuals see through its faulty scientific method. Michael
Botkin, a homosexual author, writes: "A sloppy control like this is
enough by itself to invalidate the study. LeVay's defense? He knows
his controls are het[erosexual] because their brains are different
from the HIVer corpses. Sorry doctor, this is circular logic."15
Another highly publicized study was done by homosexual Dr. Dean
Hamer, a scientist at the National Institutes of Health. He reports
that a region on the X chromosome is tied to some cases of
homosexuality. But interestingly enough, when the same study was
done on lesbians, the genetic link wasn't present. Hamer's work is
now under investigation by the federal Office of Research Integrity
because one of his assistants alleges that the doctor intentionally
skewed data to fit his conclusions.16
For years homosexual activists have persistently quoted Alfred
Kinsey's 1948 research. It claims that 10 percent of the population
is homosexual. Recently, though, Kinsey has been discredited by none
other than the Kinsey Institute. John Bancroft, director of the
Institute, reveals that Kinsey based his statistics on the diary of
a single pedophile who recorded his experiences with 317
pre-adolescent boys.17 He says, "Kinsey gave the impression that the
data came from three or four men, but it was just one."18
The truth of the matter is that probably only one to three percent
of the population are homosexual. The Kinsey Institute conducted a
study in 1970 that found only 1.4 percent of people regularly
engaged in homosexual conduct after age 20. This is in harmony with
a 1989 survey which revealed that fewer than one percent of adults
exclusively engaged in same-sex relationships.19
Even if a genetic link is found, it will not prove that God creates
homosexuals. God is not to be blamed for the genetic deficiencies
we're born with. When asked why a man was born blind, Jesus didn't
respond, "Because God made him this way." Rather, He said that God
was to be glorified through healing the man of the effects of his
faulty genes (John 9:1-7).
So it is with homosexuals who might have a genetic predisposition.
(Notice I said "might." The verdict is still out.) God didn't make
them this way. It is the result of the degeneration of humankind by
thousands of years of sin. God doesn't create any of the aberrations
sin causes. However, He can be glorified in genetically challenged
people. Jesus will provide victory over what genetics might
influence.
Don't forget that all of us are born with a genetic predisposition
to sin. But this doesn't provide license for sin. Jesus came in the
likeness of our biologically weakened flesh to gain the victory for
us. Now, instead of sin reigning in our lives, the law of God can be
fulfilled through us (Romans 8:3, 4).
A Disadvantaged Minority?
There is a well-strategized movement among homosexual activists to
shift people away from these Bible truths. It is organized and
financed by a highly capable homosexual community. According to
recent marketing studies, homosexuals have an average household
income of more than $55,400-nearly $23,000 above the average
American household. Gays are also three times more likely to be
college graduates, as well as three times more likely to hold
professional or managerial jobs. They are four times more likely to
be overseas travelers.20
Because of their wealth, education, and persistent political
activism, gays have been able to form one of the most feared
political action committees in Washington. Newsweek magazine
reports: "Homosexuals are a powerful and increasingly savvy bloc.
Their money, organizing talent, and votes are openly sought, and
their agenda is championed in a way that would have been
inconceivable only a few years ago."21
President Bill Clinton courted their clout during his 1992
presidential campaign. As a reward for their votes, he made it his
first duty to grant homosexuals key cabinet staff positions and
pushed for allowing them into the military. During his entire
presidency Clinton has been pro-homosexual. A letter from Clinton
was read to the 300,000 homosexuals who marched on Washington, D.C.,
on Sunday, April 25, 1993. The President said, "I stand with you in
your struggle for equality for all Americans, including gay men and
lesbians."22 He has endorsed Senator Ted Kennedy's legislation to
extend special rights in the workplace to homosexuals.23 And in the
midst of public debate over same-sex marriages, Clinton's deputy
press secretary says the president "doesn't think that same-sex
marriages should be outlawed."24
While conservative Christians received virtually no support from the
Clinton administration, the homosexual agenda was frequently
championed. In March 1995, Vice President Al Gore hosted a party at
his residence to honor homosexual and lesbian activists. During the
party, Gore said, "It's a wonderful thing to do what you're doing,
and that's devoting your lives to others. This dedication is an
outgrowth of the way you live your entire lives."25 Two weeks later,
President Clinton met with the same homosexuals. He told them that
he had appointed a paid White House staff person to serve as their
special liaison.26 This is a remarkable first in U.S. history.
Considering the influential status of homosexuals and their
advantageous demographics, it is a curious matter that they are able
to lobby successfully for minority protection status. To qualify for
special rights, groups must be: (1) disadvantaged, (2) not defined
by behavior, and (3) politically powerless. Women, blacks, and the
handicapped have met these qualifications. Homosexuals do not.
Besides, they already have equal rights status, as does everyone
else, to protect them from discrimination. But even though they
don't meet these criteria for a disadvantaged minority, gays have
sought this special legal protection so they can gain preferential
treatment and have more influence for their cause.
The Homosexual Strategy
When homosexuals are given minority protection status, it spells
trouble. Ann Lockwood discovered this through an unfortunate
firsthand experience. She and her roommate put a notice in the
classified ads seeking a possible third roommate. The ad was
answered by an openly lesbian woman. Ann and her heterosexual
roommate politely declined the lady's response. But this was not the
end of it.
The lesbian filed a legal suit against them using a 1989 Madison,
Wisconsin, gay rights ordinance. Ann and her roommate were summoned
to appear before an ostensibly "fact-finding" board, the Madison
Equal Opportunities Commission. After 4.5 hours of interrogation,
they were assessed fines totaling $1,500. They were also ordered to
attend "sensitivity" classes, taught by lesbians and designed to
realign their "politically incorrect" views of homosexuality.
Finally, both were told to report periodically to the city for
monitoring of their lifestyle for the next three years.27
Similar cases include a Catholic Archdiocese that was fined $35,000
for refusing to open church facilities to a homosexual club and a
priest who was sued because he refused to hire a homosexual to teach
in a church school. In Minneapolis, Big Brothers, an organization
that pairs adult men with fatherless boys to provide a good role
model, was prosecuted for merely telling one mother that a
prospective Big Brother was homosexual. After years of legal suits,
Big Brothers has adopted a national policy of "accepting gay men as
prospective Big Brothers to fatherless youths."28
What are the goals of the homosexuals? The 1972 Gay Rights Platform,
which has not been changed or rescinded in more than 20 years, calls
for "Repeal of all state laws prohibiting sexual acts involving
consenting persons" (notice, not "consenting adults"); "Repeal of
all laws governing the age of sexual consent;" and "Repeal of all
laws ... that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a
marriage unit."29
More recently, homosexual author Steve Warren told Christians what
gays expect of them. In The Advocate, the nation's largest and most
mainstream homosexual publication, he says: "Here are some of the
things you will be expected to affirm. ... 1. Henceforth,
homosexuality will be spoken of in your churches and synagogues as
an 'honorable estate.' 2. You can either let us marry people of the
same sex, or better yet abolish marriage altogether. ... 3. You will
be expected to offer ceremonies that bless our sexual arrangements.
... You will also instruct your people in homosexual as well as
heterosexual behavior, and you will go out of your way to make
certain that homosexual youths are allowed to date, attend religious
functions together, openly display affection, and enjoy each other's
sexuality without embarrassment or guilt. 4. If any of the older
people in your midst object, you will deal with them sternly, making
certain they renounce their ugly and ignorant homophobia or suffer
public humiliation. 5. You will also make certain that ... laws are
passed forbidding discrimination against homosexuals and heavy
punishments are assessed. ... 6. Finally, we will in all likelihood
want to expunge a number of passages from your Scriptures and
rewrite others, eliminating preferential treatment of marriage and
using words that will allow for homosexual interpretations of
passages describing biblical lovers such as Ruth and Boaz or Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba. Warning: If all these things do not come to
pass quickly, we will subject Orthodox Jews and Christians to the
most sustained hatred and vilification in recent memory. We have
captured the liberal establishment and the press. We have already
beaten you on a number of battlefields. ... You have neither the
faith nor the strength to fight us, so you might as well surrender
now."30
Gays Target Children
One of the means homosexuals are using to achieve their agenda is to
indoctrinate school children with homosexual propaganda. And the
National Education Association (NEA) is providing willing
assistance. The NEA is a private teachers' union that has a virtual
monopoly on American schools. Along with its cousin, the American
Federation of Teachers, it has been successful in getting 34 states
to pass laws forbidding teachers to be represented officially by any
other unions.31 Here are just a few of the ways the NEA is advancing
homosexuality.
The NEA has recommended that public schools designate one month each
year as "Gay/Lesbian History Month."32 Two NEA-approved books for
kindergarteners and first-graders were written to condition
children, ages 2 to 8, to accept homosexuality as normal and
wholesome. Daddy's Roommate is about a boy's divorced father. A
picture in the book shows his father in bed with his homosexual
roommate. The "moral" the boy learns is that "being gay is just one
more kind of love." Heather Has Two Mommies is about a little girl
who is conceived in her lesbian mother's womb through artificial
insemination. She goes to nursery school and learns that she and her
"mommies" form a "special" family and that only love matters in a
relationship.33
The New York City Board of Education argued in favor of the books as
necessary to promote "tolerance" of people who are different.34
Alyson Publications, the publisher, says these two books are for
"kids who themselves may later decide they are gay."35
It is a pity that Alyson, also a major publisher of pedophile
(homosexuals who prey on minor children) and homosexual books, is
allowed to market its perverted thinking to the impressionable and
innocent minds of children without parental consent or knowledge.
One of Alyson's most published authors, Pat Califia, wrote this
startling statement: "Boy-lovers and the lesbians who have young
lovers ... are not child molesters. The child abusers are priests,
teachers, therapists, cops, and parents who force their staid
morality onto the young people in their custody."36
Some teachers are being sent to conferences where they are taught
how to promote homosexuality. At a Denver taxpayer-subsidized
continuing education course, teachers were presented with a
several-hundred-page guide entitled "Gay and Lesbian Youth Tools for
Educators." The introductory article declares: "There is no biblical
sex ethic. The Bible knows only a love ethic." In addition to
promoting acceptance of homosexuality, bisexuality, lesbianism, and
condom use (with graphic descriptions of these behaviors and
techniques), this teachers' guide suggests that resources be
distributed to children including pamphlets (i.e., "I Think I May Be
Gay," etc.) containing telephone numbers of homosexual support
groups for children to contact.37
The guide also contains a questionnaire designed to be answered by
heterosexual junior high and high school students. It asks, among
other questions: "3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a
phase you may outgrow? 5. Is it possible that all you need is a good
gay lover? 7. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex,
how do you know that you would not prefer to do so? 14. How can you
hope to become a whole person if you limit yourself to an exclusive
heterosexual object choice and remain unwilling to explore and
develop your normal, natural, healthy homosexual potential?"38
Astoundingly, American citizens' tax dollars are being used to
promote this blatantly homosexual propaganda.
Homosexuals have also found a beachhead for their movement in an
organization that traditionally has specialized in marketing to
children, Walt Disney Studios. Tom Schumacher, executive producer
for the cartoon classic The Lion King, has been called "one of the
most influential homosexuals in Hollywood." He says, "I was an out
[of the closet] gay man when I came to Disney ... there are a lot of
gay people here at every level. It is a very supportive
environment."39
Disney is so supportive that Schumacher finds it very comfortable to
take his "husband" to company retreats and parties. He says, "What
is funny is that Jeffrey [Katzenberg, chairman of Walt Disney
Studios] did not bat an eye. ... we talk about it all the time.
[Disney's chief executive officer] Michael Eisner didn't bat an eye
either."40
In an interview with The Advocate, Schumacher was asked whether
there will ever be a place for homosexual characters to appear in a
Disney cartoon classic. He answered, "I am loathe to say there are
characters who are gay in our movies because people will want me to
go backward and point them out."41 While Schumacher is not revealing
which characters are gay, some of their actors are talking openly
about it.
Ernie Sabella and Nathan Lane played Timon, the meerkat, and Pumbaa,
the wart hog, in The Lion King. They said in a New York Times
interview that their characters were homosexual.42 A more obvious
gay element in The Lion King is homosexual singer Elton John's songs
that croon throughout it. Elton's presence is not happenstance.
Schumacher considers this "his proudest achievement" in the
project.43
Another gay producer at Disney is lesbian Lauren Lloyd. She says
Disney was attracted to her because of her sexual preference. One
year after joining Disney, "Loyd has 15 films in development, with
14 that have 'strong women's leads' including two actual lesbian
pictures."44
United Sodomites of America
Homosexual activists are working diligently to reorder society.
Their politically correct Pledge of Allegiance may one day say: "I
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Sodomites of America.
One country under sodomy, none objecting, with liberty and justice
for all who agree with homosexuals." If you doubt their intent, look
at the message homosexuals sent U.S. leaders.
On the weekend of April 23-25, 1993, the March on Washington for
Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation took place in the
U.S. capital. At that time, 300,000 homosexuals and lesbians marched
in the city. The Washington Post reported that at one point "perhaps
10,000 hand-clapping, war-whooping lesbians erupted out of Dupont
Circle" shouting, "'We're dykes, we're out, we're out for power!"
Then in front of the White House, an elementary school teacher from
Seattle climbed a statue and "threw off her shirt and began an
ebullient, bare-breasted, hip-thrusting victory dance-in-place."
Once the victory dance was done, the crowd started chanting toward
the White House: "Chelsea! Chelsea!" On the event's main stage,
lesbian comedian Lea Delaria openly lusted after Mrs. Clinton by
making a very vulgar statement. If not outrageous enough already,
hundreds of lesbians marched topless down Pennsylvania Avenue, and
some engaged in homosexual acts in front of children. True to
politically correct form, police told bystanders they had orders not
to arrest law violators.45
The U.S.A. is also in the homosexual export business. Consider the
September 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women that
met in Beijing, China. The United States representation consisted of
the first lady, Hillary Clinton, and 125 government representatives.
Mrs. Clinton's team required five Air Force jets, which cost in
excess of $1 million. Commercial airfare for the other U.S.
representatives added another half-million dollars to the tab. Here
are a few titles of the workshops that were offered: The Role of
Inflatable Life-Size Plastic Dolls and Dildos in Improving Health;
Lesbianism for the Curious; Spirit and Action: Lesbian Activism From
an Interfaith Perspective; Lesbian and Mother; Talking About Being
Sperm Donors; Lesbian Flirtation Techniques Workshop; Lesbians in
the Baltics: New Phenomenon of the 90s.46
The Platform for Action voted by delegates was lauded by lesbian
activists and feminists. A few months later, Donna Shalala, Clinton
administration secretary of Health and Human Services, publicly
stated that she intends to fulfill in America the liberally biased
commitments made by the U.S. delegation.47
Nearing the End of Time
All of this only goes to show that we are living in the time that
Bible writers foresaw. "But know this, that in the last days
perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthank-ful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,
without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors,
headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God."
2 Timothy 3:1-4. The rise in homosexuals' popularity and acceptance
indicates that the people of this world are moving further and
further from God.
In light of current events, we might wonder how far things will
digress. Certainly, in all this confusion there is a call to seek
God. While we should love sinners and help them find peace and
eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, we must not fall
prey to the falsehoods of homosexual activists. The Bible clearly
defines homosexuality as sin. Let's compassionately lead homosexuals
into a saving relationship with Jesus while steadfastly maintaining
the truths of God's Word.
