I noticed in the Conservapedia that finally we have a definitive Homosexual Agenda. Parts of it are silly, in ways that only irony can create, but a large part of it is, in fact, a great blueprint for what life in an Enlightened Society could be like.
- Destroying Christian morals
Of course, homosexuals have nothing to do with destroying Christian morals - they are doing it very effectively for themselves, with the non-stop parade of adultery, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, venality, and corruption. "Ironic".
- Promote pseudoscience that legitimizes homosexuality, such as claims of a never-identified gay gene
Of course, Christians basically have a patent on the pseudoscience of Intelligent Design, so their BullShit producers are finely honed. But unfortunately, it's reasonably well know that sexual orientation cannot be exorcised, trained away, or otherwise eliminated - the qualification of pseudoscience lies strictly on the side of GLBT-deniers. The correct pseudoscience identification is that which labels sexual orientation as mutable. Most other research concerns understanding the true nature of sexuality in general.
- Censoring speech against homosexuality by branding it to possibly be "hate-speech"
Well, I'm waiting to see the 1st amendment overturned by "activist judges" to prohibit the use of "fag".
- Establishing affirmative action for homosexuals
Of course, it's been stated that the Republican Party is basically one big affirmative action plan for homosexuals - from Mark Foley to Jeff Gannon to Larry Craig to (scandal-free) Michael Guest, Ambassador to Romania. And, of course, it wasn't homosexuals who created the Republican Party. "Ironic".
- Expand hate crimes legislation to include sexual orientation
Excellent Idea, and core for the Homosexual Agenda.
- Ending the military's and Boy Scout's restrictions on homosexuality
Of course, there's something strange about the military being juxtaposed with Boy Scouts, but I'll treat them separately for agenda purposes. Ending the Military's restrictions is an excellent idea,and core for the Homosexual Agenda. I don't believe most gays, by contrast, care much about changing the boyscouts. Homosexuals just generally object to giving money to supporting organizations promoting restricting their civil rights.
- Corrupt Christian youth.
As with (1), Christians do it very, very well themselves without any agenda item. Look at the wonder of good Sara Palin did with Bristol. Onward Christian Soliders! - "Ironic".
- Promote homosexuality in schools
An old friend of mine in Holland once claimed that US Colleges must have been seething dens of Oral Sex because (a) Americans did it so well and (b) they certainly didn't learn it in High School.
I think promotion of knowledge of GLBT diversity is an excellent subject in schools, should be on the Agenda.
- Force businesses to accommodate their lifestyle
Well, I have to visualize strongly the concept of GLBT "forcing" business to do anything. But as far as it goes, civil rights in employment for GLBT is a good agenda item. And, of course, if a business is a public accommodation which is licensed by the GLBT (and the greater community) to operate, they can't really simply decide to not serve the community that licenses them to operate can they?
- Getting more rights in prison
I think the right not to be raped by other prisoners is a good agenda item, but otherwise all the rights accorded to most of society cannot be denied a minority. So get on that prison dating site!
- Legalization of recreational or "party" drugs
I could bring up Ted Haggard but I don't think the irony works. Suffice it to say, not part of the agenda of homosexuals, and probably part of the agenda of NORML.
- Undermining the resolve of latent homosexuals so that their will becomes too weak to resist the temptations of homosexuality.
This of course is a classic agenda item, and frankly part of the core: being out.
- Pushing for legalized adoption by gay individuals and couples.
Another classic agenda item, and important.
Missing from the "Conservative" gay agenda is of course "Gay Marriage".
So, let's clarify: There are two agendas: Christian Conservative Agenda, and Homosexual "Civil Rights" Agenda
Christian Conservative Agenda
- Destroying Christian morals
- Promote pseudoscience
- Maintaining affirmative action for homosexuals
- Corrupt Christian youth
Homosexual Agenda
- Scientific research on GLBT sexuality
- Expand hate crimes legislation to include sexual orientation
- Ending the military's restrictions on GLBT presence
- Ending public funding for anti-GLBT organizations
- Promote knowledge of GLBT diversity in schools
- Reduce or Eliminate Business discrimination of GLBT
- Equal rights for GLBT prisoners
- Promoting all GLBT people being out and proud
- Elimination of GLBT discrimination in adoption
- Elimination of GLBT discrimination in marriage
I'm waiting for GLBT Agenda 2.0 which includes thinks like
- positive discrimination for adoption by GLBT couples and all infertile couples
- tax breaks for funding for GLBT/infertile couple artificial insemination or surrogacy
- positive recognition of special health needs and insurances
- ... you get the idea.
