The following is a syndicated column I wrote February 24, 2004. With Obama’s commitment to forcing acceptance of the homosexual agenda upon us it is especially relevant today:
If I were asked, “Do you like homosexuals?” I would probably say, “No.” Of course, I would be inclined to answer “no” if asked the same of black people, white people, midgets or Hispanics. My point being that I don’t like or dislike people based on group affiliation, height or race. I like or dislike a person based on shared interests and sometimes just because they’re likeable.
The problem with the homosexual activist agenda is it refuses to recognize this. They espouse a position wherein we must accept them based on their lifestyle instead of despite it. The homosexual movement is about forced acceptance, not tolerance.
I am an unapologetic cigar smoker who hates cigarettes and sees no redeeming qualities in drinking. I accept that certain of my friends drink – I tolerate smoking from friends who smoke cigarettes. It is my prerogative as to that which I accept or tolerate.
Tolerance is not a negative. As a result of tolerance, homosexuals enjoy full rights and protections, just as every other American. In fact, as a protected minority, they enjoy greater provision under the law than white heterosexual born-again Christian males.
It is interesting to observe that the unthinkable never reveals its hand all at once.
America largely accepts the idea that AIDS-HIV somehow morphed into a heterosexual disease. Accordingly, taxpayers participate, willingly or unwillingly, in the search for a cure that will encourage behavior the majority find objectionable.
In 1962, the Supreme Court in its wisdom ordered God removed from public schools under the mythical exclusion clause in the Constitution. Next came abortion on demand – a woman’s right to murder her unborn child because of its inconvenience. The idea being it’s a “choice,” not a child. Paralleling abortion on demand were the ’60s. Sex, drugs, God is dead and if it feels good do it.
Under the guise of sensitivity awareness, a greater threat to children than polio is forced upon every grade level. Marjorie King’s definitive exposition “Queering the Schools” (City Journal, Spring 2003), lays bare the homosexual activist’s plan for public education.
Many evangelical churches and church groups stood by (some more smugly than others) as homosexuality weakened, then split and finally destroyed mainline churches. Now the larvae of our tolerance are hatching. Which brings us to the greatest threat to marriage, family and child rearing in the history of America – homosexual marriage and same-sex unions.
In his brilliant exposition, “The End of Marriage in Scandinavia – The ‘conservative case’ for same-sex marriage collapses” (Weekly Standard, Feb. 2, 2004), Stanley Kurtz in frighteningly graphic factuality, writes that marriage and the American family as it now exists will soon be no more. He presents in clear terms that the United States is in the second of the four-stage death process to marriage, family and child rearing.
Homosexual activists try to posit the same-sex marriage movement as similar to the civil-rights movements. But per my comments in an Associated Press article not long ago, “the whole thing bespeaks of something much deeper and more insidious than ‘we just want to get married.’ They want to change the entire social order.”
As Kurtz puts it, “Americans take it for granted that, despite recent troubles, marriage will always exist. This is a mistake. Marriage is disappearing in Scandinavia, and the forces undermining it there are active throughout the West.”
The stage has been meticulously set. God, church and authority no longer have the meaning they did scant few decades ago. The Bible – the definitive guide to leading a Spirit-filled life – is now viewed as little more than a book written by sexist men. It is intellectualized, instead of believed. As clearly presented as sin is in the Scriptures, church leaders with the disregard of a second-story robber routinely dismiss the teachings of same.
Under the pretense of enlightenment, good will, being hip or not wanting to be the only one, parents give tacit approval for their children to be socially programmed.
It took less than six months for the high court ruling in Lawrence vs. Texas to open the flood gates to homosexual marriages – and this in states with laws forbidding it. Even with a constitutional amendment, there looms long, precedent-setting court battles to reverse the damage that has been done.
We must fight against this heresy, but the chances of our prevailing without constructionist jurists are not good. One more reason to let the elected know we are not pleased with them. Not pleased enough to see them replaced if they don’t start listening to our voices.

to final longer in bed and please your lover more there are a
quantity of issues you’re going to have to understand to master. It can be done and you can transform your sexual performance but it will take some patience.
But allow us not neglect that our mission as a guy is to give the biggest pleasure to females although having exciting. If you take more time and give her a clitoral orgasm or two from oral intercourse, then the intercourse element of sex can be a lot a lot more pleasurable to the two her and you as nicely no matter how prolonged you final in this element (once more, you will not require to rush although within her as properly. Take your time!).
I’d like to repeat one of my rants also which applies here.
Is it the Wrath of God or something else?
God fearing Americans these days are talking more about the possibility of the wrath of God coming as a just chastisement on our nation for turning from our Judeo-Christian values. This we should not fear. However, speaking of WRATH in conjunction with the current Washington regime, if you dare think this to be an extreme or unimaginable perception you might want to recall the announced “policy change” which the president told us would be required for him to succeed in fundamentally transforming America.
Like murderous abortion is hidden under the umbrella of “women’s health” there is an even more sinister change lurking under the umbrella of “homeland security” which is surely ready to take shape as internal turmoil like we have witnessed in Wisconsin with union thugs and across the nation in public demonstrations against immigration reform and right to work laws and most recently the “occupy” crazes. He knew, in his rush to transform us into a European styled socialistic “democracy” by systematically shredding the constitution, there would be strong resistance by those American patriots who realized what was happening.
Recall his campaign’s spoken “urgent” needs, as in must do Porkulous stimulator – Single Payer Obamacare – Bailouts, message for the need to protect us, his subjects, from harm both foreign and “domestic”. It went something like this. “We need and internal civilian security force just as well equipped and funded as our military”. You may have thought of defending against domestic terrorism maybe? Wrong. Eric Holder refuses to prosecute militant Black Panthers intimidating voters. Then Obama (sheepishly) proclaims he will stand with the storming army of labor union thugs as they demolish Madison’s capitol building. The Tea Party patriots are labeled racists radicals who must be monitored as a potentially dangerous political group by the liberal elite. The administration is quick to file suit against any state trying to enforce immigration laws or prevent taxpayer money from funding abortions. All of this openly as our own State Department headed by Hillary Clinton and by Obama’s own admission, “under the radar”, is planning through the UN to disarm the citizenship. It can not be denied we are having God, prayer, and any sign of Christianity effectively striped from public view or acclamation.
So, who do you think are the “domestic” enemies threatening the administration as the messiah’s stepped-up transformation proceeds?
Dutifully assisted by the mainstream media, the ACLU, the NLRB, and a host of liberal justices better than half of god fearing American citizens who still believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and American free enterprise as well as our exceptionalism as the greatest Republic ever to exist have, in the words the messiah and his reformers, been transformed into a “domestic threat” to the agenda of his regime.
Although as many of us believe, the guiding “hand of God” is certain to be reaching out again in chastisement to bring us back on course yet we should not fear the work of the hand of an almighty God who loves us for it is his will for which we pray to be done in our lives and we can trust in his justice, but for the present it is the wrath of Emperor Obama’s Regime and the long arm of Marxists style government control that is the eminent threat to the people of God here in America and it is his Will that we stand to resist it.
Granted for those faithful who are rightfully concerned, it is not inconceivable that Evil with all of its deceitful power and lies could be in its last days on earth and wants to take as many of us as possible with it before it is caste out. If so it has been loosed that we and all mankind might make our choice known to either place our lives and trust in the in hands of our Creator and his justice or believe as Evil does that man is or can be with enough money and power capable of building his own Utopian Empire without God if we but pledge our allegiance to it. A loving Father in true justice offers his children this choice by which we become our own judge and determine our own eternal sentence. Peace, to the people of God.
Everyone has choices. It is a choice to perhaps tolerate but not accept on demand homosexuality. I have known homosexual couples and singles. I don’t have to accept their life styles but I can be tolerant because they have never, ever, demanded that I accept their life styles. One thing that I did realize is that the homosexuals I’ve known were all in the ARTS; with the exception of two lesbians whom I never realized they preferred each other’s company over mixed couples. I would not have learned this except I went to visit them over-night and was taken-a-back a bit when I learned that they shared one bedroom out of three bedrooms. My children were with me and they asked questions. I, the parent, answered. It is my “choice” that Homosexuality acceptance should NOT be taught in public schools. It is the parents’ job, if they so wish, to relay that kind of information to their children, not the Federal or State Governments or the board of education!! I wrote to one of my Senators about this very issue and he responded that it was about ‘bullying’ and trying to encourage and enlighten students to accept others as they are. He never touched upon the parent’s righs or consent about the Government mandating homosexual programs in the public schools. I guess he sees through rose colored glasses and I don’t. Thanks for your article, Mychal. You always make me pause and think.
Mychal, you’ve obviously been on the right path for many years. Kudos for an article written over 8 years ago but is still just as valid today. I am in complete agreement.
The Christians abandoned the fight for right living (righteousness) many years ago. I remember a pastor telling me in 1997 our church could not take a stand on political candidates because the church could loose its tax exemption. But it goes back much farther to when churches gave up Christian education & morality in schools of higher learning they owned. Its been downhill ever since at increasing velocity.
I believe the only thing that will save the United States is a revival among Christians causing them to stand up & fight for the gospel of Christ & His teachings.
Similar to many of my positions I don’t care what others do so long as it doesn’t affect me in a manner I don’t want to be affected. That can cover a lot of territory you should understand. Someone clipping their toenails at my dinner table affects me if I see it or hear about is. So does tobacco chewing and carrying around a spit cup in my house. Not in my house you won’t. If a pretty girl wants to give me a much appreciated kiss on the cheek, you’ll not find me complaining. You’ll also not find me demanding that she give you the same kiss or you to accept it. I’m a little uncomfortable with the practice in some societies where it is an acceptable greeting or farewell between men. For some reason, I don’t find it the same with females. Cheek kissing that is.
If a person chooses to be homosexual or lesbian, that’s their choice and I’ll avoid and leave them alone and at the least not be overtly rude. That’s my decision and mine alone. Some say it’s a natural born position for some and not an outright decision they have made. I’m no doctor and don’t know enough about psychology to voice an intelligent position one way or the other. However, I personally find the practice immoral, antil-Christian teachings, mentally repulsive and overall disgusting. I’m not going to push that position on anyone else, again, so long as they give me the same respect.
Quite honestly, I don’t care if it’s taught in schools of advanced learning when a person is mature enough and able to understand and make their personal decisions. I studied all manner in the various psychology classes I took in college. I do object to it being taught in grade and high school when the children are impressionable and in their initial lifelong social learning curve. If it must be taught, there should be classes teaching the more traditional and acceptable way of life. If Perry the penguin has two mothers, there should be a sequel where Perry the Penguin has two fathers and also, a mother and a father.
I don’t like it and refuse to grant these people the same rights I afford other men and women. A pinch on the fanny from a female is enticing. From a male it’s a fighting action. And I don’t like my children being taught it by others. That’s my job the same as religion and just like when telling them where babies come from. I don’t want them indoctrinated as a Muslim, homo, bi sexual or Marxist and as a parent, that’s my decision, not some group, school or other countries.
Mychal, thank you for your article. I am a christian. The most powerful and greatest tool we have in this world, as a christian, is our actions. Not the finger pointing and telling someone(s) they are going to hell for their lifestyle. I stay away from God style judgements. I simply don’t understand enough about the human species, both physical and mental, to allow me to be judgemental. I do understand, to a limited degree, that humans are social beings that do need social “norms” guidance (rules, laws, governing). I believe in a third aspect of humans, the spiritual part. My personal opinion is now, in our country, the spiritual part of us is being tossed about like a hot potatoe – being tossed around by our government. Individually, we have a powerful tool for our defense and that is our actions through our daily living. That speaks louder than anything. Our actions will speak “this is what I believe in, this is who I am” for family, marriage, child rearing, politics, business, education, every part of our society. I’m tired of talk, talk, talk, make our society good again, through our actions. Walk the talk 24/7.
Put it this way, I am so glad , my children are all grown up, and my grand children have all been either in Christian schools, private schools, or have been home schooled.
Mychal,
I have been a fan of yours for three to four months. I look forward to reading your posts every day. You, sir, are a gentleman of quality in all your thoughts and deeds. Anyone who would attack you is, in my opinion, a low life who has no moral compass; and, in truth, is probably jealous of you and what you represent. I almost wish we could clone you; but, in truth there is only one of you. And you are an exceptional man!!! Keep on posting. Those of us who admire you so much have your back whenever you need our help. Thank you for your courage and ability to see and point out the truth.
