“TFP’s book clearly and accurately spells out the key issue and arguments exposing the pro-gay movement from both the Catholic and scientific perspective.” Joseph Nicolosi, PhD President, National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH)

“For the First Time Society Faces A Homosexual Movement: For the first time in the history of the Christian West, and perhaps humanity, society faces not just scattered groups of influential homosexuality, but an organized, visible movement of avowed homosexuals who not only boast of their habits but unite in an attempt to impose their ideology on society. [Ref. Excerpts – 1 – 3-26-12]

“This is the homosexual movement – a vast network of organizations, pressure groups, radical intellectuals and activists who strive to impose changes in laws, customs, morals and mentalities, so that homosexuality is not only tolerated but also accepted as good and normal. Hence, movement activists pressure society to legalize both the practice and public manifestations of homosexuality, such as same-sex “marriage,” while relentlessly assailing those who defend traditional morals.

“Not a Civil Rights Movement, But a Moral Revolution: Writing in the Chicago Free Press, homosexual activist Paul Varnell affirms: ‘The fundamental controverted issue about homosexuality is not discrimination; hate crimes or domestic partnership, but the morality of homosexuality. Even if gays obtain non-discrimination laws, hate crimes law and domestic partnership benefits, those can do little to counter the underlying moral condemnation which will continue to fester beneath the law and generate hostility, fuel hate crimes, support conversion therapies, encourage gay suicide and inhibit full social acceptance that’s our goal.’

“Chapter 2 – Making the Link No One Wants to Make: Chastity, modesty and temperance – distinctive signs of Christian civilization – have given way to an unbridled quest for carnal pleasure and an unimaginable display of the human body… Detaching Sentiment from Reason: The sexual revolution of the sixties was prepared by a century of cultural developments where sentiment was detached from reason… In so doing, romance and love became the highest ideal. In the name of love and passion, every rule and social convention could be broken. When applies to morality, this mentality was devastating, since adultery and even prostitution could be rationalized and even acclaimed.

“The Sexual Revolution: From Sentiment to Carnal Sensation: In 1953, Hugh Hefner founded Playboy. Unabashedly hedonistic, this magazine “was a seminal influence on the ‘sexual revolution’ of the sixties… In May 1960, the FDA approved the sale of a pill that arguably would have a greater impact on American culture than any drug in the nation’s history.

“The Hippie Movement and Student Revolt Serve as Standard-Bearers: The separation of sexual activity from procreation, facilitated by contraceptive pill, sparked a sexual revolution… At the heart of the sexual revolution is a revolt against all norms of morality that temper or restrain man’s disordered passions.

“New Standard-Bearers for the Sexual Revolution: To counter the homosexual offensive without also combating the sexual revolution is to disregard a most important part of this battle. Thus, we must struggle all the more against abortion, pornography and promiscuity. We must wage a spiritual crusade to bring chastity back to society & restore modesty as the necessary guardian of purity & expression of human dignity & honor…”
