Gay Agenda? Intolerant Ideologues Make Faithful Christians the Enemy

Gay is the new (mandatory) ideology of our time.

There is no longer any tolerance for anyone who is not in full accord with the Gay agenda. Such a citizen will not be allowed to own a business, hold an office, speak in public, teach at a school, give a sermon, or do much of anything outside their own home, and if they try, they will be swiftly and severely punished.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) - Here's what I've learned this pastweek from the massive kerfluffle over Indiana's RFRA:

1. Indiana is simply an intolerable (pun intended) place to do business,so mayors and governors from other states have declared Hoosier countryoff-limits. Bakers, florists, photographers, and restaurateurs inIndiana have apparently had super-secret meetings in which they havesolemnly vowed they will never again serve any customer who doesn'tfirst swear to their heterosexuality. This is a known fact. It says soright there in the Indiana RFRA on page 1,057.

2. The mayors and governors from #1 are joined by Apple, among othercompanies, in this unqualified condemnation of Indiana and thisaudacious attempt to preserve freedom for everyone legalize outrightdiscrimination. Meanwhile, Apple's expansion in the Middle EastCONTINUESwithout a word of protest or even a furrowed brow, despite thefact that gays in that region are often flogged. Yes, flogged. We don'tsee that word often here in the U.S.A. but it's what they did to Jesusbefore they crucified Him. It's a pretty clear indication ofintolerance.

3. Speaking of the RFRA itself, virtually no one in the media or ingovernment cares what it actually says or why. They certainly will notbe bothered to analyze it honestly or fairly. Facts do not matter. Allthat matters is that the public be made to hate Indiana and GovernorPence because they are legalizing discrimination against gayseverywhere! No gay person will ever be able to eat out again, or buyflowers or cupcakes ever again. Ever. And they will lose their jobstomorrow as well. Because that's what RFRA is secretly designed to do.It says so right there on page 1,058.

4. For some unknown reason, travel to and business with New Mexico,Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia, SouthCarolina, Florida, or any of the other states who already have their ownRFRA laws on the books is perfectly fine, and the mayors and governorsfrom #1 have not issued any restrictions. As noted above, travel to andbusiness with Saudi Arabia has also not been prohibited.

5. Illinois is on THE LIST of 19 other states that have an RFRA-typelaw. Then-senator Barack Obama voted for the law in Illinois. And don'tforget, there's a federal RFRA as well. Bill Clinton signed that one.

6. Baking a cake for a same-sex WEDDING CEREMONY is surely absolutely nodifferent than making someone a pizza for dinner on Tuesday night, soanyone who says they just don't want to be involved in same-sex weddingsis lying. They're really saying they hate gays and will tell them to getthe hell out of their establishment, now that RFRA gives them the legalright (it's right there on page 1,059). Therefore... such verminbusiness owners must be slandered and ruined. They must be sued untilthey're bankrupt.  Tweets about burning their business down are notuncalled for. They deserve it.

7. Hillary Clinton said that marriage is a sacred bond between a man anda woman; that marriage has always been known as such throughout history,and that the primary purpose of marriage was the raising of children.Harry Reid said that no state has the right to force its laws regardingmarriage on any other state. Granted, they said these things about 10years ago, but it sure is remarkable.

Finally, #8.  Dan Savage, the foul-mouthed LGBT activist who said (amongmany other things) that "Carl Romanelli should be dragged behind apickup truck until there's nothing left but the rope"; and also that Dr.Ben Carson should come perform oral sex on him; and that he thinks about"f***ing the sh** out of" Senator Rick Santorum, has just been given anew Disney show called "Family of the Year", based on his own life.

The execs at Disney are well aware of Savage's actions, yet they stilldeem him worthy of a show on their network aimed at young people. Why?

Why is all of this happening? I think I know why, but it will be mostpolitically incorrect to say so out loud.

I think it's because Gay is the cause du jour of our time. I'll go evena step further -- Gay is the new (mandatory) ideology of our time. Youcan be hateful, vile, vulgar, make threats, be vindictive, be dishonest,and seek to ruin anyone - as long as you're gay (or at leastgay-promoting).

It's especially okay to do these things if the target of your outrage isa Christian, or at least a conservative in general.

For the sake of Gay, journalists will lie and fabricate stories. ForGay, there is no bothering with facts. To hell with the truth. If theperson or business or story doesn't support the agenda and thepropaganda, then it will be altered until it hits all the right buttonsand generates the needed gasp of aghast from the ignorant andwilling-to-be-deceived masses.

For the sake of Gay, and now for the sake of same-sex "marriage",politicians will become amnesiacs and forget everything they ever saidyears ago about the sanctity of marriage and the family. They willdenounce anyone who holds the very belief they themselves swore theyheld not long ago.

They will condemn every attempt to preserve the natural family unit offather, mother, and child, as blatant discrimination with purely hatefulintent.

They will deliberately misrepresent legislation, twist the intent ofothers in government, and purposely brand everyone who resists thissocial re-engineering as out-of-touch, regressive, wanna-be slave ownerslooking for poor gay folks to trample down.

Dan Savage specializes in vulgarity, profanity, threats, insults,intimidation, and hate, and he seems quite proud of it. And this,apparently, is what Disney feels is appropriate for our families today.This is the entertainment we need. Why?

Because Gay.

We have seen how, with lightning speed, the media and the pop culturewill pounce on and smack down anyone who speaks what they consider anunflattering or unsupportive word about a gay person or gay rights. Thisperson is not defending an ancient truth about marriage, the family, andthe human person -- No! -- he or she is a backwards bigot. End of story.

It is absolutely right that violent remarks, threats and insults arecondemned. Nobody should be treated that way. There's no reason for it,no place for it, and no excuse for it.

So why are Savage's actions and words excused and tolerated, and noweven rewarded? Why? Is it because he's gay and he supposedly speaks forthe gay community? Is it because his targets are conservatives, orChristians? It's pretty hard not to come to that conclusion.

There is no longer any tolerance for anyone who is not in full accordwith the Gay agenda. Such a citizen will not be allowed to own abusiness, hold an office, speak in public, teach at a school, give asermon, or do much of anything outside their own home, and if they try,they will be swiftly and severely punished.

So, what I've really learned this past week is this: We are, in shortorder, becoming a nation that actually despises freedom. We have come toloathe the truth, and to crave distorted propaganda instead. We havelost the ability, or have forgotten how, to think at all. We can onlyreact with emotion, and rarely at all employ reason and mature judgment.

In our zeal to abolish God and His law, we made government our god anddemanded totalitarianism. We no longer allow any dissent from ornon-participation in the government-sanctioned cause du jour.

Gay must rule the day now, to the exclusion of everything and everyoneelse. It has been decided.

So the invented hysteria continues, and the anti-Christian flames arefanned into full roar, and many people will become fearful and quietlyfade into the background. Some politicians who started out strong willcave under pressure. People will be faced with the decision to acquiesceor lose their business. They will be bullied into submission. All thisin the name of progress and "freedom."

There's much, much more than cake and flowers at stake. And this week Ilearned that what really matters doesn't matter at all compared to thewitch hunt that must be carried out against Christian business owners oranyone who has the nerve to have a conscience that prompts themdifferently than Gay says is allowed.
