It is always refreshing to come across material that clearly confirms what I and a relatively few others have been trying to get you as a public to see. The Book "Making Gay Okay" by Robert R. Reilly is just such a book, and I hope you will purchase it while you can. In it (I am still reading it now) Reilly blows the lid off of the twisted manner in which homosexual activists have played the public and tricked many people into thinking illogically about "gay rights", homosexuality and even morality.
The tragedy is that if the people were thinking rather than following the trends and overdosing on entertainment, they would have been able to recognize foolishness right away. But because we as a society have been trained to be easily convinced by rhetoric, savvy advertising and entertainment, many have been conned or outright deceived to think irrationally, emotionally and illogically about critical moral matters that will not only damage us as a society, but worst, will bring upon us the divine punishment that has always followed such disrespect for God and His word.
The following is the introduction on the sleeve of the book-an absolutely powerful synopsis:
“Why are Americans being forced to consider homosexual acts as morally acceptable? Why has the US Supreme Court accepted the validity of same-sex "marriage", which, until a decade ago, was unheard of in the history of Western or any other civilization? Where has the "gay rights" movement come from, and how has it so easily conquered America?
The answers are in the dynamics of the rationalization of sexual misbehavior. The power of rationalization the means by which one mentally transforms wrong into right drives the gay rights movement, gives it its revolutionary character, and makes its advocates indefatigable. The homosexual cause moved naturally from a plea for tolerance to cultural conquest because the security of its rationalization requires universal acceptance. In other words, we all must say that the bad is good.
At stake in the rationalization of homosexual behavior is the notion that human beings are ordered to a purpose that is given by their Nature. The understanding that things have an in-built purpose is being replaced by the idea that everything is subject to man's will and power, which is considered to be without limits. This is what the debate over homosexuality is really about the Nature of reality itself.
The outcome of this dispute will have consequences that reach far beyond the issue at hand. Already America's major institutions have been transformed its courts, its schools, its military, its civic institutions, and even its diplomacy. The further institutionalization of homosexuality will mean the triumph of force over reason, thus undermining the very foundations of the American Republic.”
Also on the back cover of the book is a list of comments about the book from a variety of intellectuals. Here are just a few:
"Robert Reilly shows that to go with the flow of the homosexual movement is to go against nature, science, children, marriage, the family and the common good; in fact to go against common sense. This movement is now the leader of a long-term pack working to undermine society, a process designed to bring chaos (see Gramschi) and dictatorship before freedom is enjoyed again. The time and the means to oppose are both narrowing. If this book does not move you to action nothing will."
-- Patrick F. Fagan, PhD, Senior Fellow, Family Research Council
"Plato teaches that societies take on the features and tastes of the persons most prominent in them. Reilly shows how America's ruling class is shaping our society according to its taste for homosexuality and its distaste for natural families. If you want to know the philosophical and legal background of the revolution that is being imposed upon America and its consequences read this book."
-- Angelo M. Codevilla , PhD Professor Emeritus, Boston University; Author, The Character of Nations
"This book is magnificent, a real achievement. For anyone interested in taking our country back from the sexual radicals, you must know how they did it, so rapidly, efficiently, even brutally. The gay rights movement slid through American institutions, both public and private, like a hot knife through butter. I suspect it has surprised even its proponents to see how fast we have capitulated. First philosophy fell, then psychology, the courts, education, the military and even the Boy Scouts followed. No one has told both the broad sweep and the specific details of this story better than Robert Reilly."
-- Austin Ruse President, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute
"The mainstreaming of sodomistic practice is a sign that a culture has lost not only its faith but also its mind. Robert Reilly patiently and convincingly explains how that flight from reason occurred and what can be done about it."
-- Charles E. Rice, JD, JSD Professor Emeritus of Law, University of Notre Dame Law School
With the abundance of information that is readily available for anyone who really wishes to understand and stand against homosexual activism, there will be no excuse in the Day of Judgment for anyone making the excuse that they did not know. God has not left Himself without witnesses in the earth, both the conservative godly and even among the fairly honest.
