It’s NOT About Hate

It’s not about hate. It’s not about being bigoted. It’s not about being intolerant. It’s not even about fear or a host of other things that the anti-traditional marriage movement would have you believe. What it’s really about, for those of us who stand in opposition to redefining marriage here in the United States of America, is truth.

Contrary to what homosexual activists, organizers, and their supporters would have you believe, the vast majority of us who stand in opposition to their movement are not a venomous brood of vipers filled with nothing but contempt for them or their “cause.” Just as I know that there are many caring and well-meaning men and women in the homosexual lifestyle who do not have contempt for us.

Though there are those on our side of this debate that have gone overboard with the rhetoric, there are many more in the same-sex “marriage” camp who are practicing real hate, absolute intolerance, and full-blown deceit.

I had a “live and let live” mentality toward the gay community until I realized that wasn’t enough for them. What they really want, as I’ve seen firsthand, is to force public acceptance and approval by any means necessary and if you have the audacity to stand in their way you’d better look out! Once the gay “rights” movement began forcing their way into my home and my way of life, as well as thrusting their ideals upon our children through our public education system, that’s when I drew my line in the sand.

Here’s some truth for you pertaining to the hate you’ve been told we’re spewing, if we oppose their lifestyle in any form. Homosexual activists very methodically and purposefully use words describing us as ignorant homophobes, racists, bigots, right-wing nuts, and more. I do not have an ounce of hate for any living the homosexual lifestyle, nor do I use derogatory terms to describe them.

Homosexual activists, however, have a very calculated plan to prop up homosexuality, while denigrating their enemies, with the aid of the mainstream media and Hollywood. They really have no desire to persuade people theirs’ is a legitimate cause, but only wish to tear down their opponents by linking them with the abovementioned. The real hate is being propagated by this anti-traditional marriage movement.

Here’s an example of a few of their tactics as outlined in “The Overhauling of Straight America”, by Marshall Kirk and Erastes Pill in Guide Magazine: 1. Talk about and gayness as loudly and often as possible (almost any behavior looks normal if you’re exposed to it enough); 2. Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers (gays must be cast as victims in need of protection); 3. Give protectors a just cause (encouraging straights to be their protectors by using the media to cast gays as victims); 4. Make gays look good (by painting gays as pillars of society); 5. Make the victimizers look bad (make anti-gays look so nasty the average Americans will dissociate themselves from them); 6. Solicit funds (an unprecedented fundraising drive).

There are many things going on in our nation today that I take issue with and I’ll get to them eventually, however, this issue, same-sex “marriage”, is by far one of the most detrimental to our future. Over the course of the next few weeks I will enlighten you as to how this movement will affect you and your family or as it already has.
