Liberal media forces homosexuality agenda down America's throat
By Lloyd Marcus
Please, please, please understand, as we said in the 60s, where I'm coming from." This article is NOT about bashing homosexuals. I have homosexual family members and friends whom I love very much.
However, I found David Gregory's attack on Michele Bachmann for comments she made regarding homosexuality to be extremely disturbing and offensive. Bachmann is a Christian and simply compassionately espoused the biblical point of view.
Just as Muslims live by the Quran, Christians strive to live by the Bible. Here are a few Bible quotes about homosexuality:
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act;..."
Rom. 1:26-27, "...for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts...."
Whether you agree with the Bible or not is irrelevant. My point is Bachmann did not "make up" her take on homosexuality. It came from a holy book considered sacred by mega-millions worldwide.
So, when Gregory beat up on Bachmann, he was really attacking Christians and the Bible. But most disturbing was Gregory's arrogant bullying and implicit threat to all who disagree.
In effect, he announced: We, the media, have declared homosexuality normal — period, end of subject. Anyone of you Neanderthals daring to suggest otherwise will suffer the consequences.

Would Gregory have been so aggressive interviewing a Muslim presidential candidate about his beliefs? I suspect not.
Most Americans accept homosexuals and are repulsed by anyone abusing them. However, America's acceptance of homosexuals is not good enough for the left. The left wish to bend our arms behind our backs until we cry "uncle," proclaiming homosexuality to be normal.
Even home improvement and cooking TV programs feature a high number of homosexual couples disproportionate to the population. Clearly, many TV producers have an agenda to normalize the homosexual lifestyle.
My dad has been in Christian ministry as a pastor for 50 years. Dad said he is being pressured to embrace the Gospel of Homosexuality. He added, "Those of us who disagree are being pushed into the closet."
Has the left won? Are we afraid to quote the Bible's rebuke of homosexuality?
Think about this, folks. According to the left, if you disapprove of men sodomizing each other and women performing cunnilingus on each other, not only are you a "hater," you are deemed mentally ill — diagnosed as homophobic and in need of treatment.
During his Bachmann interview, Gregory kept referring to homosexuals as "Gay Americans" in an attempt to make disapproval of a "sexual behavior" the same as discriminating against an ethnic group — African, Hispanic, and other Americans. The left reinforces the theme, calling opposition to the homosexual agenda "bigotry."
Black Civil Rights groups are offended by the left's comparing their struggle to that of homosexuals.
I state again, "I have homosexual family members and friends whom I love very much." However, loving them does not mean I must submit to dictatorial pressure from the media to embrace the homosexual lifestyle as being normal.
To get their way, the left always distorts the discord, portraying all opposition to equal the extreme evil.
For example, Americans welcome "legal" immigrants with open arms. We oppose "illegal" immigration and all the crime and stress on our welfare system which comes with it. The left brands anyone seeking to protect our borders extremist, anti-immigration, and racist.
If you believe elementary kids should not be forced to celebrate Gay Pride Day and not be encouraged to experiment with homosexuality, the left numbers you among the minority of nut cases seeking to harm homosexuals.
Regardless of the issue, the left — their liberal media enforcers — slanders the opposition, painting them to be haters and extremists. Former Obama supporters turned off by his unfolding socialistic agenda are suddenly "redneck racists against a black president."
Patriots, I realize all of you are not Christians and my purpose is not to force my faith on anyone. This article is not about whether homosexuality is right or wrong. It is about the liberal media throwing down the gauntlet, saying, "Hey, you Christians had better get with the program regarding the normalcy of homosexuality, or else!"
The liberal media's usurping of ultimate authority to enforce their "ultimate consensus" on an issue, destroying anyone who dares think otherwise, is a serious assault on our freedom.
