Organized Crime and the Gay Lobby

The orgy of mutual backslapping associated with the Prostitution Reform Bill (being passed) in New Zealand, featured lots of gay activists, brothel-keepers and no working prostitutes. The gay lobby allied itself to pimps and criminal gangs.

Gay marriage is used as a tool to progress a raft of other policies related to prostitution, pornography, public sex, lowering of age of consent etc. At this stage of the global campaigning game everybody has informants in the other camps.

We used 'planted' informants in Australia and New Zealand. Gay people wanting to walk the steps of a public building to register a civic union are irrelevant to the issues. I work on queer agenda issues only to oppose NAMBLA style legislation.

Litigating the Boy Scouts of America, or attacking the institution of marriage, are important to pro-paedophile activism. The NAMBLA philosophy has to destroy moral and ethical orthodoxy enshrined in what might be described as inherited establishment.

Similarly, (some) feminists decided that pornography and prostitution were good issues to shatter perspectives focused on protection. To be protected, one has to be 'weaker' and feminism does not really like the basic ideas of female & weak in association.

I have listened to bizarre narratives on 'temple prostitution' and the emotional intimacy and rewards associated with pornography etc. which would have a percentile support base in the general female population of zero. All of which is to miss the point.

The average gay marriage campaign is rarely solely about gay marriage. It is often about kicking out the sides of the building so it can be reconstructed with values which are the antithesis of legitimate morality and liberty.

The issue is often about NAMBLA style legislation, public sex, prostitution, drugs reform, access to very young sexual partners, and to progress these ideas they need to attack 'Victorian values', 'Christianity' or 'conservatives'.

HIV and Censorship

Talking about HIV and Homosexuality in the same breath can get a teacher in the UK or the USA fired. Suggesting that having unprotected sex outside of a monogamous relationship may increase the level of risk, would be viewed in much of the USA as homophobic. Certain sexual practices increase the risk of exposure. The epidemic did not arrive in Britain for example because of the Anglican Communion or the Conservative Party. The HIV issue has moved on. Drugs, prostitution, all add to the spread of the epidemic. Young people are at risk because they are more vulnerable than people who are older. So whatever the risk sector, it can be made more dangerous if young people are involved. Many young boys involved in high risk sex are not gay and are doing it because they are exploited. Countries with low ages of consent obviously attract sex predators from neighbouring countries. Countries which do not enforce laws of one kind or another also attract sex tourists.

I cannot BELIEVE people can still believe that homosexuality is a 'chosen lifestyle' rather than a innate sexual orientation - that, for some unknown reason, homosexuals have 'chosen' to become oppressed and ridiculed by society. Think RATIONALLY people. Who would CHOOSE such persecution?

It positively sickens me that people are still condemning homosexuals and their lifestyles, complaining that they're 'unsafe' and 'abnormal'. Why should you care? You're obviously not homosexuals yourselves, so you're not at any risk from these 'unsafe' practices (although, it has been shown that countless homosexuals are involved in monogomous relationships...but, well, who cares, right?). And 'abnormal'? Well, i hate to tell you this, but homosexuals undoubtedly see your heterosexual practices as a little 'abnormal' for them also. Just because the majority of people do one thing doesn't make that thing right.

Yes, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis & syphyllis are problems among homosexuals but, of course, heterosexuals are exempt from such diseases right? Wake up people.

Discrimmination is NOT 'necessary' towards homosexuals - any inequality among humans, whether based on race, gender, age, or sexual orientation is wrong.

Grow up, and treat others as you would like to be treated

The same innate sexual orientation does not stop many of them giving HIV to their wives and partners.

Why does so much of gay advocacy focus on promoting prostitution and lowering the age of consent to 14, 12 or whatever
