The Gaytheist Agenda

The Traditional Values Coalition proves itself incapable of telling the truth in its quest to harm LGBTs and rake in money for it’s anti-gay agenda. This time they’ve produced a pitiful video that concludes with an offer for $4 propaganda tracts which, of course, have no facts whatsoever. Much like the video.

The video attempts to equate homosexuality and pedophilia. This is one of the longstanding RRRW lies. The facts:

The Reality of Pedophilia

We get often caught in a semantic conflict when discussing the sexual abuse and molestation of children. Depending upon our exact definitions of terms, it can be shown:

1. that homosexual abuse of children is widespread, and
2. that abuse of boys by gays is rare, and
3. that the abuse of girls by lesbians is rarer still.

If we define the phrase “homosexual abuse of children” in the first statement to mean adults molesting and abusing children of the same sex, then this statement is true: Child sexual abuse is widespread. It is perpetrated by males in the vast majority of cases. And a substantial minority of their victims are boys. Data relating to men abusing boys is hungrily pounced upon by opponents to equal rights for homosexuals, who often use it against both gays and lesbians in civil rights battles. But it is not homosexuals, as the term is generally understood, who are responsible for the abuse. It is rather pedophiles who are attracted to children, and have decided to abuse them.

However, if we define the phrase “abuse of boys by gays”, and “abuse of girls by lesbians” to mean adult persons with a homosexual orientation abusing children of the same sex, then these statements 2 and 3 above are also true. Gays and lesbians rarely abuse children.

The fact behind these conflicting statements is that most pedophiles are not homosexuals! Or to put it another way, most homosexual molestation is not done by homosexuals.

The video also claims that LGBTs are putting out studies showing that adult/child sex is not harmful. We are? Where are these alleged studies and who published them? TVC fails to cite their sources, of course, because they assume that their word as a “Christian organization” is good enough.

The video claims we should not be given laws protecting us from hate crimes. Why not? People such as the members of the TVC are given protection from hate crimes based on their religion. So why should we be left unprotected? The hatred of the TVC is extensive.

TVC then states we should not be able to “promote” homosexuality in schools. Since when are we doing that? I have yet to see anybody going into schools and telling children to become gay. Telling children that gay people exist, and that being gay is not a bad thing is not “promoting” homosexuality, regardless of what bigots like the TVC believe.

The video then goes on to claim that we should not be able to marry or adopt children. More bigotry. There is no reason aside from religious bigotry that LGBT individuals should not be able to marry and/or adopt. No reasons at all.

I have some suggestions for the Traditional Values Coalition. Pick up your Bibles–I assume you have those, no? Turn to Exodus 20:16. Commit it to memory and try to live by it. Now turn to Matthew 7:12, commit that to memory and try to live by it. When you’re able to do those two things get back to me. Until then I don’t want to hear a thing out of you, you malevolent hypocrites.
