Why do you have so much to say about homosexuality?
It happens to be one of the main issues of the day. We speak on the issues of the day, especially when there is no effective political Opposition on this subject. Whereas many homosexuals are happy to live and let live, the current agenda is driven by the militant homosexual lobby who:
1. are targetting Christian street preachers, Christian hotel and B&B owners, Christian adoption and foster carers; Christian marriage registrars; and Christian cafés.
2. are targetting the public expression of Christianity such as displaying a cross.
3. The next phase of their campaign is to use the Scottish Parliament to legalise homosexual marriage. They want to redefine marriage to include homosexual relationships. “Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees” Isaiah 10:1. If the homosexual lobby get their way, they will want to teach children in primary schools that homosexual expression is normal behaviour. Already Stonewall has supplied teaching packs to primary schools. Tory Party policy used to support Clause 28 (Section 2A in Scotland), the law prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality in schools, but David Cameron has reversed this, apologized for it, and put a gagging order on the Tories, with the consequence that the Scottish Tories have been struck dumb. As for whether Christians who have Biblical views on homosexuality are welcome in the Conservative Party, Ms Annabel Goldie, leader of the Scottish Tory MSPs, said: “David Cameron has made clear that the Conservative Party is a modern party for the 21st century.” This demonstrates a spineless servility to the leader of the Party and that Christians cannot rely upon the Tories to fight for the traditional family nor for the natural view of marriage.
4. Education and schools: the next phase will be to use this redefined concept of marriage to teach schoolchildren to experiment with homosexual instincts. The humanist lobby has often claimed that religion should be kept out of science, but the homosexual worldview will then pervade the whole of our educational system if Stonewall has its way. This homosexual lobby group plans to send training packs into every primary school in Britain. However, it is not only Stonewall, but the Scottish Liberal Democrats manifesto advocates that “gay issues be taught in schools.” The BBC publicised the sanitised version of the Lib Dem Manifesto but The Sun drew attention to the small print. At this rate, your primary school children will be taught to explore homosexual tendencies.
5. However, the real issue is not homosexuality but rather freedom of speech. The homosexual lobby is openly trying to stop Christian expression of its belief, and the British Humanist Association is not far behind. They have persuaded the ill-informed leadership of the main political parties to follow suit. The topic began as seeking equality, reminding us of Animal Farm by George Orwell, but now it has changed into coersion because homosexuals demand people to accept their lifestyle. This is intolerance and stokes up trouble for the future, ignoring the history of Britain’s struggle for civil and religious liberties which resulted in the democracy of the modern era. Westminster is the mother of Parliaments but we will soon have the mother of all rows if this intolerance continues unabated.
6. The homosexual agenda is a moving one. It began with a campaign for decriminalisation of what is done in private by consenting adults; moved on to toleration; then to equality and fairness; then acceptance; then the confessional “Coming Out” phase; then the celebration phase “Gay Pride”; and it is now in the coersion phase; it plans to move on to the paedophilia phase soon. This process has been imitated by Richard Dawkins in his aggressive atheism, especially the “coming out” phase. “Coming out” is an imitation of the Christian doctrine of openly confessing Christ, and it is for lack of this Christian witness in public life that we have humanists celebrating their advances. It is a fitting chastisement of an effete Christian church. The same progression can be seen in the advance of humanistic values in the Christian Church. First a heterodox doctrine is tolerated, and within a generation it is the norm, and then it is imposed upon those who do not accept it - in the well-known display of “there are none so illiberal as the liberals” or as intolerant as those shouting tolerance. In order to lock in their gains, these innovators coerce the consciences of others who tolerated them, until they compromise, fall silent or are driven out of the denomination. Examples are the ordination of women, and now the ordination of homosexuals in the national churches of Scotland and England. The same shifting agenda happens in politics, which is why people do not trust politicians building their promises on shifting sand. One government cannot hold a successive government to its promises, so that the most solemn promises are only meaningful for as long as the length of that Parliament - or even shorter if one is a Liberal Democrat.
This is not correct and we discuss tolerance and coercion here in our Manifesto. One tolerates someone or something of which one does not approve. Christians do this all the time. On the other hand, the aggressive homosexual lobby do not tolerate Christian doctrine, and it wants to coerce Christians into saying and believing what homosexuals believe, and even to teach it in their Christian schools.
We address all forms of sexual immorality, but adulterers are not trying to make faith schools and churches approve of adultery, whereas homosexual lobbyists are trying tomake faith schools and churches approve of homosexuality. People may want to ask themselves if marriage will survive this sexual free-for-all being promoted by the humanistic lobby. The path to hell is not only paved with a thousand good intentions, but it is a winding descending spiral staircase of steps so that one does not see the destination.
It is not uncommon for people to misunderstand Christian doctrine which teaches us to love sinners while hating the sin. This applies to all forms of immorality. Love manifests itself by warning sinners against sin. Hatred manifests itself in giving enough rope to hang oneself. Rather Scripture teaches us: “You shall not secretly hate your neighbour; but you should reprove him and not suffer sin on him” Leviticus 19:17. Warning against sin and its consequences is a manifestation of love; and the greatest manifestation of love was Christ’s making atonement for sin 1Jn 4:10. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

- Mike Weatherley, the Conservative MP for Hove, has written to the Prime Minister calling for churches to be banned from holding marriages if they refuse to perform civil partnerships for gay couples. Again, the subject of unequal equality is used, which is deceiving and beguiling our uneducated politicians.
- The full text of the letter is published by the homosexual website Pink News.
- “People say, The way of the Lord is not equal. But as for them, their way is not equal,” says the Lord (Ezekiel 33:17)

- In the Liberal Democrats Party Election Broadcast on the eve of their 2010 Election Manifesto launch, Nick Clegg spoke of the broken promises put forward by the Labour party and Conservatives, and that a vote for the Lib Dems means a vote for hope and an end to broken promises. The Lib Dems have now disabled linking to this broadcast.
