The Homosexual Agenda
The current barrage of entertainment laced with love scenes between gay men must have the board of directors for the homosexual agenda guarding the glee they feel like poker players holding a straight flush.
The highly acclaimed movie “Brokeback Mountain,” and a recent episode of “Desperate Housewives” are two of the most recent and provocative. Hollywood, as usual, is advocating the joy that can be found in a homosexual relationship.
What’s wrong with that? Haven’t gays suffered long enough? We’ve all heard the horror stories of gay bashing, about families being torn apart, about teenage boys driven to suicide; many times after being saddled with guilt by some fire and brimstone preacher.
From the world view of my youth – a European Catholic, post war baby boomer – homosexuality was a fate worst than death, calling a guy “gay or queer or faggot,” well, them there was fightin’ words. Homophobia, in my opinion, is not so much a fear of homosexuals, as it is a fear of being homosexual. Some men too frightened to examine a homosexual thought, suppress the very idea. Living an unexamined life in fear and ignorance they lash out at others, or, as in the days of my youth, joined the priesthood.
As often happens in societal shifts, the pendulum has swung to the other extreme. Some sociologist point to the horizon of a moral-less, unisex society; a society where any willing partner will do.
I admire people who are honest with themselves. After all, aren’t we all just wayfaring pilgrims struggling to grasp the brass ring from the carousel of life? There are however three little banana gnats you cannot shoo away from our human condition, one is God, another is sin, the third – eternal life. Pesky little concepts aren’t they?
