Many homosexuals, or as they are more often called, gays and lesbians, are politically organized and have an agenda. I do not mean this in some conspiratorial way. I?m simply pointing out the fact that gay and lesbian organizations now regularly lobby Washington D.C., state capitols, and city councils to pass laws that favor gay and lesbian objectives. Among those objectives is a desire for laws that legalize same-sex marriages, adoption by gay or lesbian couples, and the application to gays and lesbians of civil rights laws based on race.

Gay and lesbianism are nothing new in this country or in any other country of the world. What is newer in the past few years is the degree to which homosexuality has been invited into mainstream culture as an acceptable lifestyle and the degree to which gays and lesbians are politically organized. It is the combination of these two developments that has produced the gay agenda, a social and political statement emanating from the gay and lesbian philosophy of life.

Perhaps it?s this last point that?s the most important. Understanding the gay and lesbian agenda as a set of political objectives is one thing. Understanding it as a worldview is something else. While Christians may agree that no citizen should be denied his or her civil liberties without due process of law, we must nevertheless understand that the gay and lesbian agenda is a worldview that is diametrically opposed to a biblically Christian worldview. Gay and lesbian values about sexuality and the family are not biblical values.

Gay and lesbianism is not like race, gender, or ethnicity. Homosexuality is about morality not about biology. Homosexuality, while capable of clasping individuals in a near death grip, is based upon a series of moral choices not biological, chemical imperatives. Unlike race, gender, and ethnicity, homosexuality is not a divine gift to humanity. Homosexual behavior is a perversion of God?s gift and, therefore, the gay and lesbian agenda must be opposed by Christians who wish to remain faithful to the teachings of the Bible. Christianity and the gay agenda don?t mix.

Saying you do not agree with the gay agenda is not a hate crime. It is not a crime to disagree with another?s ideas or even to politic against those ideas. Saying you disagree with the gay agenda and politicking against it is simply a matter of defending truth.
