Trojan Horse Alert

In July 2003 a book was written by Alan Sears, the president, CEO, and general counsel of the Alliance Defense Fund, an organization dedicated to the defense of religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and traditional values. The book was titled The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today. I along with several other friends decided to read the book and meet on occasion to discuss it. It has turned out to be one of the most prophetic books concerning our culture that I've ever read.

Sears and co-author Craig Osten reveal that a six-point strategy was defined in the late 80's by two homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen (see here and here) to radically change America's perception of homosexual behavior. Their six points were:
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 anti-gay victimizers look bad.
6. Solicit funding from corporate America and major foundations to financially support the homosexual cause


The principle of the first point is basically this: "Almost all behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters and among your acquaintances." Kirk and Madsen put it this way: "First let the camel get his nose inside the tent - and only later his unsightly derriere!"

Kirk and Madsen knew that the media would play a crucial role in the implementation of their strategy: "The average American watches over seven hours of TV daily. Those hours open up a gateway into the private world of straights [non-gay people], through which a Trojan Horse might be passed."

Now, consider for a moment the development of homosexual characters in film and television over the past 20 years. I won't compose a list for you, but clearly gay characters have moved from being quirky secondary characters with a vague sexual orientation to being full-blown main characters in academy award winning films. Besides the obvious success of "Brokeback Mountain", television shows like "Will & Grace", "Ellen", "It's All Relative", and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" are good examples of the kind of success the activists have had in implementing their strategy.

Sears and Osten give us the results: "Using data from the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, the study showed that in 1988, 74.9 percent of respondents said that sex between two people of the same sex is always wrong. By 1998, that number had dropped to 54.6 percent."

The authors go on to demonstrate how all of this is intended to break down public resistance to the goal of redefining the terms "marriage" and "family" so that homosexual relationships can be legitimized and given equal legal footing with heterosexual relationships. As Kirk and Madsen reveal: "This won't just be a change in the law either; it will be a change in society. For if we do it right, the struggle to win the freedom to marry will bring much more along the way" [emphasis added]. Madsen and Kirk appear to be winning.

So, why do I write about this today? Well, there is a new movie coming out that pushes the camel a little further into the tent.

The movie is called "Sleeping Dogs Lie". In this "new breed of romantic comedy", a young couple decides to test the limits of their relationship by revealing their dirty little secrets to each other. The woman reveals that she once orally pleasured a dog.

That's right. A dog.

The other characters in the film naturally act repulsed by this. But keep in mind this is a romantic comedy, and one must presume (the film is not out yet, pardon the pun) that the movie ends happily. I would expect that by the end of the movie the boyfriend will come to terms with her past indiscretion. Whether the general public does, is yet to be seen.

So far, the reviews seem to be negative mostly due to the fact that people didn't like having to watch the opening scene where the offensive action takes place (albeit off-screen). In fact, an early title of the film was "Stay", and one can guess that the filmmakers changed the title when they realized that it sounded too much like a plea to the audience.

I don't know if this is the first major motion picture to reference beastiality like this, but it may be the first to make such an act the central story point. Romantic comedies have been the Trojan Horse of the homosexual agenda for a while now. It appears that more ugliness is spilling from its belly. Perhaps we should keep an eye out for more animal-love film references in the years to come. That's how desensitization works.

And it's all according to plan.
