Wingnuts Freak Out That the Gay Culture War is Nearly Lost

I take everything posted on World Net Daily - a/k/a Wing Nut Daily - with a grain of salt. Few alleged "news" sites are less tethered to objective reality than the extremists and Bible beaters at WND. Nonetheless, on occasion it can be informative (and at times entertaining) to follow some of the batshitery that is taken for serious discourse by WDN's contributors and their intellectually challenged followers. A case in point is a post by Scott Lively - author of "The Pink Swastika" and who has been implicated in the Uganda Kill the Gays bills and who, in my opinion, is an individual who is likely clinically insane - who has a column lamenting that the gays have just about won the "culture war." Sure, Lively is likely looking to spur some donations to his utterly deranged organization and/or spur some sheep like Bible thumpers to action, but deep down, I suspect that he realizes that he and haters like him have lost the younger generations and that their ultimate defeat is in the cards. Here's some of his spittle flying hyperventilating over the situation that Christianists are faced with longer term:

Many Christians are only now awakening to the seriousness of the threat to our society posed by the homosexual movement. But, unfortunately for us all, it is only the sounding of the victory trumpets by "gay" activists that has stirred Christians from their slumber. The watchman's walls have been broken and breached, the village is in flames, and triumphal "gay" culture warriors are leading a long string of young prisoners by their necks into the woods. Most disturbingly, many of the captives, including some of the children of these still sleepy-eyed Christian parents, seem happy to go.

I have long warned that the homosexuals agenda is not about tolerance but control. It started, of course, with a plea for tolerance, but then immediately shifted to a demand for acceptance and in due time to celebration of all things "gay."

[T]he agenda continued to unfold to another level, requiring forced participation in "gay" culture. Much of the country is on that cusp of celebration/coercion today, led by California with it's new aggressive K-12 homosexual advocacy curriculum, mandated by law.

That is the end game for the "gays." The final stage of their agenda, which has always been about taking control of things, is the power to punish dissent: to silence or crush their detractors. They only have this level of control in a few places yet, but they are moving fast to achieve it everywhere, and the momentum is on their side. And wherever they have it, they use it.

"Gay marriage," "gay" curriculum, "gay" parades, "gay" TV shows, "gay" soldiers, "gay" adoption, "gay" diseases, "gay" recruitment and on and on. So many seemingly separate issues that are really just one issue: the unnatural, dysfunctional, personally and socially destructive phenomenon of homosexual sin. We are warned clearly and emphatically about it in the Bible. We have seen its corrupting effect in history. And we are literally watching its ethic of sexual anarchy supplant the biblical model of family as the guiding value system of our society.

I'm not saying here that Christians are without hope of overcoming the challenge before us. Nothing, after all, is impossible with God. What I am saying is that we cannot possibly win, especially at this late stage of the game, if our "heroes" continue to fiddle about with the "definition of marriage" and fall all over themselves trying to prove they're not haters by endorsing other, non-marriage-related bits of the "gay" agenda.

We need to stand firmly and unapologetically on the hard truth that homosexuality is not a benign, morally neutral social phenomenon. It is an insidious and contagious form of sexual perversion condemned by God as an abomination.

The homosexual agenda represents an existential threat to Christian civilization and we're in the final phase of the war, losing badly. It all hinges upon you, Christian reader. Either get into the "game" in earnest, immediately, or wave goodbye.

The irony, of course is that if I were going to describe any group as unnatural, dysfunctional, personally and socially destructive, it would be Lively and his fellow Christianist who market hate, division and intolerance of anyone who is different as their principal stock in trade. Meanwhile, I believe that Lively - who some have suggested is a self-loathing closet case based on long standing rumors - needs a major mental health care intervention.
