If you have not read AFTER THE BALL the overhauling of straight America by Marshall Kirk and H****r Madsen, you should do so. It lays out the propaganda that the L**T activists would use to brainwash the 97% of American that is not homosexual or bisexual. this is a short synopsis of the concept CNS news story


Yes, Virginia, there is a gay agenda, and a playbook being used to fulfill it.

This week’s change in the law that homosexuality is incompatible with military service – the repeal of the so-called “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy – is not the “triumph for America” that homosexual activists and their supporters in the Senate seemed to say it is.

It represents the "overhauling" of America – by a homosexual activist movement that has been pushing its agenda on the nation for the last 25 years or so.

Since 1987, gay activists have basically been following a playbook.

It first came out in the form of an article in a homosexual magazine called, “The Overhauling of Straight America” – and was later turned into a book called “After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the ’90s."

The article was written by Marshall Kirk and “Erastes Pill.” The book was written by Marshall Kirk and H****r Madsen (the real name of "Erastes Pill").

That playbook utilizes the power of the media and advertising strategy to advance the gay agenda.

“The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights,” Kirk and Madsen wrote.

“To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games: she likes strawberry and I like vanilla; he follows baseball and I follow football. No big deal.”

The article laid out in simple stair-step fashion how to change America’s thinking about homosexuality:

“STEP 1: TALK ABOUT GAYS AND GAYNESS AS LOUDLY AND AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.”

Kirk and Madsen say that “almost any behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters and among your acquaintances.”

“And when we say talk about homosexuality, we mean just that. In the early stages of any campaign to reach straight America, the masses should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex should be downplayed.”

“STEP 2: PORTRAY GAYS AS VICTIMS, NOT AS AGGRESSIVE CHALLENGERS.”

“In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector," they wrote.

"Where we talk is important. The visual media, film and television, are plainly the most powerful image-makers in Western civilization.”

TV and movies, they say, should be the media of choice.

“The average American household watches over seven hours of TV daily. Those hours open up a gateway into the private world of straights, through which a Trojan horse might be passed. As far as desensitization is concerned, the medium is the message-- of normalcy. So far, gay Hollywood has provided our best covert weapon in the battle to desensitize the mainstream.

“The second message would portray gays as victims of society. The straight majority does not recognize the suffering it brings to the lives of gays and must be shown: graphic pictures of brutalized gays; dramatizations of job and housing insecurity, loss of child custody, and public humiliation: and the dismal list goes on.”

“STEP 3: GIVE PROTECTORS A JUST CAUSE.”

“A media campaign that casts gays as society's victims and encourages straights to be their protectors must make it easier for those to respond to assert and explain their new protectiveness," Kirk and Mdsen said.

"Few straight women, and even fewer straight men, will want to defend homosexuality boldly as such. Most would rather attach their awakened protective impulse to some principle of justice or law, to some general desire for consistent and fair treatment in society.

“Our campaign should not demand direct support for homosexual practices, it should instead take anti-discrimination as its theme. The right to free speech, freedom of beliefs, freedom of association, due process and equal protection of laws-these should be the concerns brought to mind by our campaign.

“It is especially important for the gay movement to hitch its cause to accepted standards of law and justice because its straight supporters must have at hand a cogent reply to the moral arguments of its enemies. The homophobes clothe their emotional revulsion in the daunting robes of religious dogma, so defenders of gay rights must be ready to counter dogma with principle.

“STEP 4: MAKE GAYS LOOK GOOD.”

“In order to make a Gay Victim sympathetic to straights you have to portray him as Everyman. But an additional theme of the campaign should be more aggressive and upbeat: to offset the increasingly bad press that these times have brought to homosexual men and women, the campaign should paint gays as superior pillars of society.”

"STEP 5: MAKE THE VICTIMIZERS LOOK BAD."

“At a later stage of the media campaign for gay rights-long after other gay ads have become commonplace -- it will be time to get tough with remaining opponents. To be blunt, they must be vilified,” they wrote.

“The public should be shown images of ranting homophobes whose secondary traits and beliefs disgust middle America. These images might include: the Ku Klux Klan demanding that gays be burned alive or castrated; bigoted southern ministers drooling with hysterical hatred to a degree that looks both comical and deranged; menacing punks, thugs, and convicts speaking coolly about the ‘f*gs’ they have k**led or would like to k**l; a tour of N**i concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed.”

------

Guess what? Following that playbook has proved to mean success for the gay activist community.

In the DADT issue we have:

-- "Normal" homosexuals in the military, who are portrayed in the media as seeking “justice and rights” (since when has there been a “right” to serve in the U.S. military?)

-- homosexuals who are portrayed as victims;

-- whose cause has been adopted by the media (think of how Hollywood has hammered and hammered at promoting gays and the explosion of pro-gay stories, pro-homosexual characters);

-- and a public that contains many who now say, "Who cares?" when it comes to gays in the military;

-- a national news media that now openly champions homosexuals in the military (think of CNN and Anderson Cooper; but think also of how countless news-inspired TV dramas -- “JAG” comes to mind – have advanced the gay agenda);

-- and a cadre of women, and some men, who have an “awakened protective impulse” that is “tied to some principle of law and justice” (in this case, dedicated to the idea that homosexuality is a civil rights issue, rather than a behavior that opens the door to all kinds of negative consequences.)

-- And the portrayal of anyone who opposes homosexuality in the military as "h********c" or h**emongers (Wait, isn't that a form of thought control and brain washing?).

Consider yourself “overhauled,” America.

You've been played, in favor of a behavior that was once criminalized; one that most world religions – which have been around for far longer than this country -- still condemn.

And just think, it has all been done in the name of politically correct "anti-discrimination" law -- which is itself a relatively recent phenomenon -- and allows gay activism to trump anything else, even t***h, morality or facts.

Wow! What a winning combination – for homosexual activists, that is.

But what a losing combination for America.

HOW SODOMY WAS SOLD TO AMERICA

Sodomy, n. A crime against nature. --American Dictionary of the English language, Noah Webster 1828.

Words mean something. Noah Webster knew that well. Just hearing the word sodomy sounds harsh. This is evidence of how far we have slid.

“Whoever, therefore wishes to ruin a nation, has only to get this vice introduced; for it is extremely difficult to extirpate it where it has once taken root because it can be propagated with much secrecy… and when we perceive that it has once got a footing in any country, however, powerful and flourishing, we may venture as politicians to predict that the foundation of its future decline is laid and that after some hundred years it will no longer be the same…powerful country it is at the present.” (Sir John David Michaelis, Commentaries on the Laws of Moses, 1814.

In 1988, 74.9% of the American Public thought that sex between two people of the same g****r was always wrong. By 1998, the percentage had fallen to 54.6% (National Opinion research Center, The University of Chicago.)

Perhaps no other movement in the history of America has had so much success in such a short time. We must examine the homosexual agenda’s success in changing American Culture and attempting to redefine the family, not only to understand how to combat it, but to provide a glimpse of the potential of the American Church if only we were so vocal and dedicated.

The Homosexual Agenda

The strategy was revealed 20 years ago in a 1987 article titled, “The Overhauling of Straight America,” and a 1989 book titled “After the Ball.” In which two radicalized homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and H****r Madsen published their plan. Both Kirk and Madsen were highly educated men. Kirk was a Harvard educated researcher in neuropsychiatry, and Madsen had a doctorate in politics from Harvard, and was an expert on public persuasion tactics and social marketing. (The Marketing of Evil, David Kupelian, p.23)

Their strategy was six fold:

1. Talk about gays and gayness as loudly and often as possible.
2. Portray gays as victims, not aggressive challengers.
3. Give homosexual protectors a “just” cause.
4. Make gays look good.
5. Make the victimizers look bad.
6. Solicit Funds(Get corporate America and major foundations to financially support the homosexual cause. (The Homosexual Agenda: (Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today. Alan Sears & Craig Osten, p. 18)

Let’s briefly examine these strategies.

Firstly, Kirk and Madsen in The Overhauling of Straight America, write in regards to talking about gays and gayness, “The principal behind this advice is simple: almost all behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters and among your acquaintances.” (Sears and Osten p. 18)

“The main thing is talk about gayness until the issue becomes thoroughly tiresome.” According to Sears and Osten this will have one of two effects. “1. It convinces people that homosexual behavior is just another lifestyle, or 2. causes them to get so s**k of the issue that they throw their hands up in disgust or become exhausted and then withdraw. Either way the homosexual activists win.” (Sears and Osten 17-18)

Portraying homosexuals as an oppressed victim is the second part of Madsen and Kirk’s strategy because it plays into all Americans sense of fairness. This can be seen in the framing of the AIDS debate (primarily spread by homosexual behavior) as a civil rights issue (AIDS was formally called GRIDS, G stands for ‘Gay”) He who frames the argument wins.

This was also seen through the Matthew Shepherd murder case when two non-religious men k**led another man for drugs. The case was blown up by the national media to be a h********c h**e crime spurred on by “h**eful” evangelicals preaching against sin. In the media Christians are then compared to Hitler and the KKK, instead of Mother Theresa, William Wilberforce (the Christian who abolished the British s***e-trade), and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

By piggybacking on the civil rights issue and slandering b****s, homosexuality has become the cause de jour to appeal to liberal sensitivities of fairness and justice. The “Gay Rights” issue is now seen as a “just cause.” Examples of this in Hollywood are the film Philadelphia, where Tom Hanks is fired from his job by discriminating h**e-mongers, and Broke Back Mountain where Heath Ledger can’t really live out the true love and life he wants because of an oppressive society. Rather than showing two men living in San Francisco with high discretionary income and a lavish lifestyle they are shown as oppressed and victimized. This idea of making the homosexual appear oppressed and the victimizer bad can adroitly be perpetuated showing scenes of Fred Phelps, (of God H**es F*gs lore) protesting funerals which furthers the myth that Christians are mean and bigoted people.

Lastly, soliciting funds for radicalized homosexual groups has been widely successful. Ford Motors, Kraft, Home Depot, Proctor & Gamble and many more corporations indirectly or directly contribute to the advancement of the homosexual agenda. They do this through sponsorship, advertising, donations, and legislative endorsement. Careful coordination with corporations and the media have been tools in the propaganda campaign to mainstream homosexual sodomy. These are the engines that drive the homosexual activist groups such as GLSEN (which are proliferating our schools), and E******y Forum (A lobbying and legislative homosexual group.)

Eric Pollard, the founder of ACT-UP (a militant homosexual group) claimed Hitler’s Mein Kampf as a model for the “gay” agenda. (Sears and Osten, p. 26)

“Something of even the most insolent lie will always remain and stick- a fact which all the great lie-virtuosi and lying-clubs in this world know only too well and also make the most treacherous use of… By clever and persevering use of propaganda even heaven can be represented as hell to the people, and conversely the most wretched life as paradise.” (Mein Kampf)

Kirk and Madsen reiterate Pollards ideas, “We have in mind a strategy as calculated and powerful as that which gays are accused of employing by their enemies. It’s time to learn from Madison Avenue, to roll out the big guns. Gays must launch a large scale campaign to reach straights through the mainstream media. We’re talking about propaganda.” (Sears and Osten p. 27) So far they are achieving their carefully laid out goals.

The Human Face of Homosexuality

We all know friends who are “gay,” and many are genuinely nice people.

What is the real face of homosexuality? Is it the radicalized homosexual trying to legalize sex between men and boys (NAMBLA)? Is it someone like Rosie O’ Donnell or Ellen? Or is it our coworker or family member, our son or our daughter? Is it the people who shut down the local parks for public sex within eyesight of children, leaving condoms strewn around the park? Perhaps it is all of these for sin has degrees of evil.

In my own life I see various shades of this sin that traps so many. A friend of mine once shared with me that he watched his father commit suicide when he was 15. Since then he has engaged in hundreds of acts with other men and is currently in a “monogamous relationship.” Perhaps he is seeking the love of the father he never got. Another young man I know suffered seizures, and increasing paralysis, and died earlier this year from AIDS which he contracted from earlier involvement in homosexual sin. Two friends I know have parents that left their families for another “same sex” partner. Their families have been torn asunder. Behind the glitzy glamour of Hollywood are real people with real sin which has real consequences. Who will speak the t***h to these people, to these families?

Counting the Cost

Last year I submitted a resolution to the State Convention of Ohio Baptists urging Christian parents to pull their children out of public school and either home school or provide Christian private education. It was a wakeup call to pastors and parents in our state newspaper due to the advancing homosexual agenda and Darwinian dogma in public schools. Within the next few weeks homosexual activists wrote in and repeated the tired old saw calling me a bigot, or exclaiming that I was spreading h**e. One person said there was no gay agenda in schools that the only agenda was for her to get up go to work and pay taxes like every “normal” American. Being called names in a newspaper or blog is a small price to pay. In the future it may not be so easy.

We have already seen in Canada where a free speech chill has come after the passing of h**e crimes legislation. The same legislation is being advanced in America (SB 777 in California, and through h**e crimes bills.) Canadian Pastors have been fined for speaking out against homosexuality. Programs like Focus on the Family are not able to be aired in Canada.

It is time to count the cost. We have all the freedoms and opportunity now to confront this sin. But time is running out. Will we sit cowardly in our stained glass fortresses while Sir John David Michaelis’ words ring prophetic towards America, “that the foundation of its future decline is laid?”

If a 1-2 percent minority can change the face of American Culture and public policy, then anything can be achieved.

We have both the numbers, and the t***h. If speaking the t***h is a h**e crime. Let us be found guilty.

It’s time for Christians to “get after the ball.”
