TRUE INTENTIONS
OF GAY ACTIVISTS
By Gwen Richardson

For several years, I have observed the growing
influence of gay activists, unsure of their true
intentions. Their tactics initially piqued my interest
about 15 years ago,
when
they
began
comparing
their
historical plight with
that
of
African
Americans.
This
comparison was absurd
on its face and I
wondered how they
could have the temerity
to make such a claim.
After all, African Americans are the
descendants of millions of Black Africans
who were brought to these shores in
chains, dehumanized and sold as chattel
for 250 years with no rights whatsoever,
then subjected to another hundred years
of, at best, second class citizenship.
Homosexuals
have
suffered
no
intergenerational discrimination, have
never been denied the right to vote or own
property, and can disguise their sexual
preference for a lifetime, if necessary. Comparing the
history of gays to that of African Americans is like
comparing the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre to the
Holocaust.
Yet, the claims of gay lobbyists that their rights are
somehow linked to the freedom struggle of African
Americans have slowly taken root in many sectors.
They have even adopted some of the language of the
Movement, referring to their cause as a struggle for
“civil rights,” and charging that those who oppose their
crusade
are
either
motivated by hate or are
simply bigots.

But, after years of close
observation, I have now uncovered the true intentions
of gay activists: To silence, demote or excommunicate
any individual who dares to disagree with the unbridled
promotion of homosexuality and gay marriage.
The reason I use the term “uncovered” is that it is often
difficult to determine gay activists’ true intentions
since, from the beginning, most have been less than
honest about their goals or the facts. In addition to their
co-opting the Civil Rights Movement as an extension of
the gay cause, let us examine some of the other
falsehoods they have advanced over the past decade.
Ten years ago, gay activists claimed they had no interest
in pursuing gay marriage. They
asserted that all they wanted was equal
protection under the law, hospital
visitation rights and the right to transfer
property in the event of a death — all of
which I support. It is now obvious that
their goal all along was the
advancement of gay marriage. How
else can one explain the methodical
way in which they have worked to
change marriage laws in small, liberal
states initially, and later in as many other states as
possible.
Gay
activists
also
falsely claim that all
homosexuals are born
that way, with a socalled “gay gene.” Not
