The gay "rights" movement seeks to promote homosexuality and give it special consideration or favoritism.
The gay "rights" movement demands new rights or entitlements for homosexuality by arguing that either,
So called 'Gay rights' are a favored topic of liberals, and are based on moral relativity, the idea that there is no absolute Right or Wrong. Although people should be free to label themselves as they choose[1], from perspective of human rights, assertions about human nature must be empirically provable and they cannot be based on fundamentals and instances that are not methodologically verifiable[2]. The self-identification as so called "LGBT+ person" fails this criterion[1] and is in fact a manifestation of Göring's syndrome.
Harry Hay is regarded as the father of the modern homosexual liberation movement. As a Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) organizer, he turned out "essays, position papers, critical studies, and manifestos concerning what it means to be gay in the world."[3]
The first step Hay took in organizing the homosexual rights movement was to recommend to the CPUSA that he be expelled. In light of his 18 years of service to the party[4] they released him as "a security risk but a life-long friend of the people." The early leadership of the Foundation shaped the organization to reflect the cell structure of the Communist Party, in which "secrecy, hierarchical structures, and centralized leadership predominated." [5] Hay and his fellow homosexual rights activists began circulating the USSR and the East European Communist parties sponsored anti-war Stockholm Peace petition against the Korean War[6] at a beach frequented by homosexual men in Los Angeles. The first months produced hundreds of members.
Amid growing public focus on gays and lesbians, 91 homosexuals were found to be employed in the U.S. State Department. Congressional investigators discovered homosexuals employed in 36 of 53 branches of Government, as well as in the armed forces. Between Jan. 1, 1947 and April 1950, 4,954 cases had come to light among some three and a half million people in Government service. Most were in the armed services. 574 cases were found involving civilian Government employees; in all the other cases the accused had either quit, been cleared or fired. The investigators found the greatest batch of civilian cases—143—in the U.S. State Department. State had cleared or gotten rid of all but a dozen whose cases were still pending. The Veterans Administration was found to have 101 cases. Others included the Atomic Energy Commission, 8; EGA, 27; Congress' legislative agencies (Library of Congress, congressional employees, etc.), 19. One Senator remarked, "It follows that if blackmailers can extort money from a homosexual under threat of disclosure, espionage agents can use the same type of pressure to extort confidential information."[7]
The Human Rights Campaign referred to Hay as "founder and architect of the modern movement for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights" and "Harry was one of the first to realize that the dream of equality for our community could be attained through visibility and activism".[8] Hay not only promoted homosexual rights, he actively campaigned for the "rights" of pedophiles. The Boston Phoenix noted that nowhere was this more evident than in Hay's persistent support of the right of the North American Man-Boy Love Association, NAMBLA, to march in gay-pride parades.[9] NAMBLA maintains a website with a body of Hay's work and a tribute to Harry Hay on its homepage. The Human Rights Campaign and other homosexual rights organizations, while revering Hay for his contributions to homosexual rights, do not support NAMBLA or communism.
Courts, including the Supreme Court, have accepted either one or both of these rationales. In Romer v. Evans, the Court found that discriminating against homosexuals could only be explained by a rational of animus laid bare, which was not enough even to allow state condemnation of homosexuality under the rational basis review test. Romer, then, protects the status of homosexuality from undue discrimination that occurs without a rational basis.[18]
Homosexual conduct was formerly illegal in many states.[19] In the last decade of the twentieth century, although these laws existed, they were rarely (if ever) enforced.[20] Without disclosing whether it saw homosexuality as a status protected from discrimination at as high of a level as gender and race, the Court struck down bans on homosexual conduct, framing it as an expansion of its privacy jurisprudence.[21]
The status of homosexuality before the law, then, is in some degree of flux. While bare discrimination against homosexual status is facially unconstitutional lacking a rational basis, and while preventing homosexual conduct is similarly unconstitutional, the Supreme Court has held in these landmark cases that the state may discriminate against homosexuals to preserve an "institution that the law protects" - namely, marriage.[22] As such, the standard to be applied in deciding if discrimination against homosexuals is wrong is somewhere in between rational basis review and strict scrutiny review. Justice Antonin Scalia thinks that this uncertainty will surely be resolved in the favor of gay rights, and he warns that such a legal erosion will result in the downfall of the law's moral authority.[23]
In 2006, Catholic Charities of Boston closed their adoption program after more than a century of finding homes for orphans and unwanted children when it was reported by the Boston Globe that homosexual couples had received children placed from the agency.[24] Massachusetts law, barring "orientation discrimination", prohibited one of the nations oldest adoption agencies from refusing service to homosexual activists, and a mass resignation of the agency's Board in protest followed.[25]
A poll reveals that a majority of US citizens[26] disapprove of homosexuality, or at least consider it less than ideal, and prefer that public policy does not encourage it. They also believe that accepting homosexuality would require the loss of rights to free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and traditional marriage.[27] Conservatives criticize attempts by homosexual rights activists to prohibit any statements which are critical of homosexuality, such as the idea that it is "unnatural" or "sinful", using hate crimes statutes and anti-discrimination laws. These laws violate the rights of those against homosexuality to continue trying to restrict the rights of homosexuals.
Conservatives also oppose attempts by homosexual activists to indoctrinate children by using liberal tactics such as tolerance or forcing diversity programs onto children in schools which strongly encourage the acceptance of homosexual behavior. Notable figures including Tony Perkins have expressed concerns. As any logical examination of the world would have one conclude, tolerance is an insidious construct which breeds relativism and lack of judgment.
An April 2009 CNN poll showed the public evenly divided over the US military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, with 48% in favor and 47% opposed.[29] Polls consistently show that most people are opposed to same-sex marriage. Thirty states have had a public referendum on same-sex marriage, and all thirty have voted against it.
Advocates routinely use deceit, notably pursuing various goal while pretending not to. For example, some advocates will claim:
Yet clearly the drive for "tolerance" is only one step toward the ultimate goal of "approval."
Blurring distinctions: Advocates routinely fail to distinguish between homosexual behavior and homosexuality as an "identity."
Turing was arrested in 1952 for homosexual acts and subsequently lost his security clearance. He was allowed to stay out of prison by agreeing to be injected with female hormones (which would supposedly decrease his sex drive). He later confided to a friend that the hormones caused him to grow breasts.[31] This may have contributed to his suicide by cyanide poisoning in 1954.[32] The British Government issued a formal, official apology for the way Alan Turing and other homosexuals were treated in the past.[33]
