Homosexual activists release 'marriage battle plan'

Homosexual activists often complain there's no such thing when pro-family groups refer to the "gay agenda." But now nine pro-homosexual groups have made a copy of their battle plan available to the public.

The document is called "Make Change, Not Lawsuits." In it, the nine pro-homosexual groups urge sympathetic activists not to rush to file lawsuits after taking advantage of the court-ordered legalization of homosexual marriages in California.
 

"... [T]hey are doing the ... 'boil the frog in the water' routine.

They're wanting to ... prepare the ground, prepare the ideas

and thinking so that, one day, you just simply wake up and

same-sex 'marriage' has become commonplace."

 

-- Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel

Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, says the coalition has a multitude of reasons to discourage homosexual activists from filing lawsuits in order to force homosexual marriage on people who oppose it. "They're afraid that, if they continue to file these lawsuits on the state level, they'll actually lose lawsuits," Staver says.
 
"And, in fact, they've lost so many, the fact that they've won one in California should not overshadow the fact that they've lost so many more and they've actually lost ground," he continues.
 
Staver says the federal Defense of Marriage Act is a major hurdle to homosexual activists and one that they do not want to attack head-on. He contends that if the act is struck down in court, then an effort to push a constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage will kick into high gear.
 
"...[A]nd they certainly don't want that," the attorney explains. "They want to delay that process as long as possible."
 
Instead, the pro-homosexual document argues that homosexual couples who have "married" in Massachusetts and California should simply put their relationships in front of friends and family and demand that it be treated as normal. That, says Staver, is a process he calls "progressive desensitization."
 
"Essentially, they are doing the so-called 'boil the frog in the water' routine," he speculates. "They're wanting to, basically, prepare the ground, prepare the ideas and thinking so that, one day, you just simply wake up and same-sex 'marriage' has become commonplace," he explains. "And then, once people accept that kind of relationship, then they're going to bring out the cross-dressers, the transvestites, the trans-sexuals, and other kinds of deviant activity."

to desensitize Americans to same-sex 'marriage' will be successful?

 
The Liberty Counsel founder says the most difficult challenge for pro-family forces is revealing the truth about the homosexual lifestyle and what supposed "gay marriage" really means. "Sometimes you need to see evil in its face to understand how evil it really is," he concludes.
 
The nine groups behind "Make Change, Not Lawsuits" [PDF] are: Human Rights Campaign, American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), Lambda Legal, National Center for Lesbian Rights, Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD), Equality Federation, and Freedom to Marry.
