Sesame Street and the Gay Rights Movement

Gays and lesbians are less than 5 percent of the population.  However, this tiny minority has become increasingly vocal and aggressive in their proselytization of our kindergarten and school-aged children. In their latest effort to blur the lines of distinction between normal sexuality and deviant behavior, gay activists have petitioned the creators of Sesame Street to allow Bert and Ernie to wed each other.  Activists argue that the socialization of our children is needed to help reduce suicide rates and ostracism of gay children.  Clearly, the gay rights agenda extends beyond mere tolerance of an alternative lifestyle.  I believe the new aggressiveness will have negative consequences for parents and children.  First, it is not clear that it will actually reduce suicide rates and ostracism.  Secondly, it adds another layer of complexity to the confusion that young people experience as a normal part of growing up. Often our first close friendships are with members of the same sex.  Usually, it is later in our development that we become interested in the opposite sex.  It is imperative that early innocent same-sex friendships not be sullied by permissive sexual experimentation resulting from exposure to gay propaganda.  Let’s face it!  Gay rights demands are no longer about tolerance and non-discrimination.  What we are witnessing is an organized effort by gay rights activists to increase their numbers.

    We as Christians only have to look as far as The Bible to see that civilizations that promote homosexuality will fail and end. Do we want this for our great nation? I say NO! Oppose the “normalization” of homosexuality!!!

      Regarding the “normalization” of homosexuality…it has been a normal genetic trait since the earliest form of man and continues to be a normal genetic trait in the animal kingdom (to which humans belong)as well. There are dominant and recessive genetic traits. Please learn the difference.

        I agree that homosexuality has existed since time immemorial. However, scientists have not been able to identify a gay gene to explain why a tiny percentage of the population suffer from same sex attractions. Same sex attractions remain a deviation from the norm.

        When an animal mounts another animal of the same sex it is not sexual behavior. It is dominance/submission or establishing a pecking order. There is not an animal homosexual gene.

    You should run for president, Dr. Swain. I agree with you on more levels than I do with any of the presidents that I have lived to see in office.

    Are you people nuts??!! No gay people are proselytizing or trying to “change” children’s sexual orientation. You are either BORN gay or straight. Period.Perhaps you should ALL go back to college and take a refresher course in genetics and/or biology! It isn’t a choice anymore than having freckles or being tall. Stop being afraid and embrace the differences we all have as human beings.

      Thank you for writing to share your opinion. Gay activists are not content with tolerance. What they seem to want is a celebration of their lifestyles.

    • Steve says:

      I wish their agenda was simply to seek non-discrimination or reduce harassment. Unfortunately, it’s bigger than that. Their agenda really is to influence and change influence society to their ways. They say that it’s about loving relationships and it’s not about their sexual practices. But, if you observe their parades and various other activities, it almost always turns sexual in nature. They are very in your face about their sexuality despite their claims otherwise. Additionally, they say that they’re not trying to recruit straight people but if you they get kick trying to get straight people to try it out.

      I know of a few situations close to home where people are caught up in this lifestyle and they would even admit that they were never really attracted to the same-sex. You can tell by their actions that they’re not really attracted to folks of the same-sex. But, no one of the opposite sex would give them attention and they were hanging out with groups of gay folks. These groups over time coaxed them to try homosexuality.

      @Janet Sinelli: There have been at least two stories in the news within the last week where gay parents were attempting to change their children’s gender and/or delay puberty.

    Do you have any comment on the cases of Frank Lombard at Duke University (a few years back), or of the Lesbian couple Moreno and Kobel who are out to change the sex of the young boy they adopted?

    • carolswain says:

      I discuss the Lombard case in the family chapter of my book Be the People. I heard about the other case through a Blaze article. I think it is unfortunate that the mainstream media often fails to report such stories. In any event, most people are too intimidated to discuss homosexual adoptions.
