Scary Stuff!

Almost every night while I wait for Chris to shower and come to bed, I read from Dr. Dobson's book "Bringing Up Boys". Chris received this book as a Christmas gift but had already read it at my parents place. We thought we would keep the book though, so I could read it, and hopefully lend it to others so they can benefit from Dr. Dobson's words.

Growing up in a family that consisted of mainly females until I was 16 (when my brother was born), I did not know all that much a boys. Even then I still didn't learn too much since I moved out of my parents house when I was 19, making my brother only 3. I have learned much over the past few years just from asking Chris questions and listening to the stories he's shared about growing up. Boys are so much different then girls! And now that I have a son of my own, I pray that I will be equipped with the patience and understanding that will be needed in the years to come. Dr. Dobson provides so much information in his book about boys it's almost overwhelming! I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you have boys or not.

Anyways, last night as I was reading chapter 9 entitled "The Origins of Homosexuality", I was totally shocked by some of the information in the book. I thought I would share some of it with you, but I will warn that it is disturbing so discretion is advised.

"The question that jumps out at us is, 'Why have gay and lesbian organizations worked feverishly to lower the age of accountability?' There can be only one answer.

"The most shocking evidence of this targeting of children appeared in the following article written by Michael Swift, who worked for a publication called the Gay Community News. It was read during a congressional debate by former Congressman William Dannemeyer, who also entered it into the Congressional Record. Here is a short except from that shocking statement:

'We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all-male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons will become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.

'All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men. All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically, and financially, We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.

'The family unit- spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence- will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in a communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.

'All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are fee to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.

'We shall be victorious because we are filled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.

'Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.'


"This article, which outraged conservative Christians and many other Americans, was greeted with a shrug by the general public and by members of Congress. Did these words represent one man's private views, or are they representative of a larger community? I don't know. Certainly not all homosexual activists would ascribe to them. It is clear, however, that our boys need to be protected from sexual abuse, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual in character. Guard them night and day when they are young. Don't send them into a public bathroom alone. Be very careful whom you trust in summer camp, in Sunday school, or in the neighbourhood. Any sexual exploitation of a child, whether from a family member or the man next door, whether gay or straight, has the same deleterious effect."

It's a scary world out there! The article written by Michael Swift was written back in 1987 already! Think of how much the gay rights movement has achieved already since then, and it's only going to get worse. We as Christians really need to take a stand for what we believe. We have a voice too.
