Homosexuality 101: A Primer
The homosexual movement in the United Stateshas achieved unprecedented power during thepast two decades as a result of its dedication toone single cause: The overhauling of StraightAmerica to accept and embrace homosexualityas a normal variation of sexual expression.
According to Dr. Charles Socarides,author of
Homosexuality: A Freedom Too Far,
the homosexual movement’sroots in America are based in Com-munist ideology and its first aggres-sive advocate was the late HarryHay. In the 1930s and 40s, Hay hadbeen an active member of the Com-munist Party, USA, an organizationdedicated to the violent overthrowof the United States.However, in 1950, Hay determinedthat his lifelong objective would beto start an organization dedicated toprotecting homosexuals and over-turning laws against sodomy.In order to hide his CommunistParty ties, he asked to be expelledfrom the Party in 1951. The Party dropped him frommembership and in the spring of 1951, Hay founded theMattachine Society. (The term Mattachine was takenfrom a medieval French secret society known as the So-ciete Mattachine. This consisted of unmarried townspeo-ple who wore masks and conducted rituals during theFeast of Fools on the first day of spring.) Hay consideredthe term “Mattachine” to represent rebellion against au-thority.The Mattachine Society became the first militant homo-sexual organization in the U.S. and Hay organized it like aCommunist Party cell group.The Mattachine Society was relatively unsuccessful inmaking significant gains in normalizing homosexuality, butthe 1960s Sexual Revolution set the stagefor homosexual militancy that has lastedto this day.Former Congressman William Danne-meyer chronicles the history of the homo-sexual movement in his book,
Shadow In The Land: Homosexuality In America.
Dannemeyer quotes Dennis Altman, aradical homosexual activist who wrote aprophetic book titled,
The Homosexualiza- tion Of America.
Altman writes:
“The seven- ties saw the beginning of the large-scale transition in the status of homosexuality from a deviance or perversion to an alternate lifestyle or minority, as remarkable a change in the characteri- zation of ‘the homosexual’ as was the original invention of that category in the nineteenth century. Along with this change, ho- mosexuals were being cast increasingly in the role of the van- guard of social and sexual change, worthy of considerable me- dia attention.”
The Victory Over Psychiatry
Homosexual militants achieved a significant victory in 1973when they succeeded in terrorizingthe American Psychiatric Association(APA) into removing homosexuality asa mental disorder from the APA’s
Di- agnostic And Statistical Manual On Men- tal Disorders
(DSM).Homosexuals had lobbied the APAsince 1971 and began disrupting APAmeetings, grabbing microphones andshouting down any psychiatrist whoconsidered homosexuality to be amental disorder.The tactics of 60s anti-war protestersworked. The APA caved and homo-sexuals have used this victory to pro-claim that homosexual behavior isnormal. Pro-homosexual psychiatrist
Patricia Irelandheads the YoungWomen’s ChristianAssociation. She isan admitted bisex-ual and boardmember of Gender-Pac, a transgendergroup.The homosexualmovement is nowallied with trans-gender activists whoare trying to nor-malize cross-dressing and otherdeviant sex acts.Homosexualsare pushingfor so-calledsame-sexmarriages.
