The Mainstream Pro-Family Movement Has Failed

 

For decades, we have witnessed the slow but steady encroachment of the LGBT Agenda and its militant activists demanding special privileges. The normalization of homosexuality has become all too pervasive in our culture, and with it transgenderism. Now this perverse agenda is targeting children on an open, daily basis.

Sodom and Gomorrah has gone from the bedroom, to the boardroom, to the public square. It’s no longer about two consenting adults in private. It’s about forcing adults to consent to this agenda in public.

It has gotten so bad, that even now Republicans, the so-called pro-family party, has begun caving to the destruction of marriage and the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism.

How did this happen? How did it get this bad, and why has the mainstream pro-family movement failed to stop all this perversion?

Most people are not aware of this, but there were two Republican Congressmen who admitted that they were homosexual shortly after Republicans took back the House of Representatives, the first time in forty years. Instead of removing them from the caucus, Newt Gingrich let them stay, and he refused to take a stand on the issue.

From there, the Republican party continued its narrow attachment to individual liberty, without any foundation in national identity or moral security. Conservatism became a watered-down fusionism of limited government and individual liberty as the two core values. However, liberty and limited government alone cannot conservative a culture, and those principles cannot protect the family or the children.

And from here, we can point out why the mainstream pro-family movement has failed over the last thirty years to stop this false marriage, false gender identity agenda. The pro-family movement never wanted to call out the inherent debauchery and destruction associated with homosexuality and transgenderism. They never wanted to take a firm stance for truth, for fear of sounding bigoted or homophobic.

They fell back on two weak arguments to defend marriage:  tradition and religious freedom.

These are the weakest arguments. Religious liberty or religious adherence in the past was used to justify all kinds of unbiblical principles and stances. Tradition alone can never serve as an argument, either, since it was tradition to enslave certain groups of people. Technological innovation naturally undermines certain traditions as well.

And yet, this past week, I have seen eblast after eblast from mainstream pro-family groups decrying the “Respect for Marriage Act” forcing its way through the United States Senate. They are talking about the potential harms to religious liberty, and how this legislation will open the door to polygamy.

Those arguments may have some truth, but they are not substantive or substantial. The mainstream pro-family movement has failed because they have refused to advance the following arguments and attack the proponents of false marriage and false identities notwithstanding:

1.       Homosexuality and transgenderism are mental illness, not benign forms of identity. These behaviors result from abuse, neglect, confusion, and/or molestation. Normalizing these behaviors only enables these harms all the more.

2.       No one is born homosexual or born in the wrong body. There is nothing loving or compassionate about enabling confusion.

3.       Marriage is not just about the two adults, but about the children. Children need their mother and father, their natural parents, in a natural marriage. Anything else deprives children of their basic needs and harms them for the long-term, according to numerous health and wellness metrics.

4.       What consenting adults do in private has public consequences. Hiding behind the argument of “Live and Let Live,” or “Let’s just protect everyone’s liberty” has created this power-based stalemate, in which the more virulent actors with more money and more sympathy from the public will in. Hence, homosexual and transgender activists have been stomping on the pro-family competition for a long time.

5.       No one has had the courage to call out the malevolence of this whole agenda, poisoning kids and putting pressure on adults to abandon their natural rights and their constitutional liberties. This is not a chess game, but a street fight, and to this day the LGBT forces are shoving the chessboard up the pro-family movement’s ass.

It’s time to stand for truth, it’s time for a total offense in this culture war—and only MassResistance has the rhetoric, the record, and the results to get this done.
