AMERICA'S GAY WHITE HOUSE
By Alan Caruba
THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LEFT & THE HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVIST MOVEMENT: THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY & THE
DRIVE TO ESTABLISH HOMOSEXUALITY AS A "NORMAL" LIFESTYLE IN THE U.S.A. -- THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION & ITS
POSITION ON THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT OF 1996, A FEDERAL STATUTE WHICH DEFINES MARRIAGE AS THE LEGAL
UNION OF ONE MAN & ONE WOMAN AS HUSBAND & WIFE -- HOMOSEXUALITY AS AN UNFIT CONDITION FOR MARRIAGE
& FOR SERVICE IN THE MILITARY -- JUSTIFICATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY A STEALTH ATTACK ON THE AMERICAN NATION
FULL STORY:
A news item by Agence Press France flew under the radar of many American news media. On February 25, 2010,
it reported that “The White House on Friday named Jeremy Bernard to serve as Social Secretary to President Barack
Obama and his wife Michelle Obama, the first male and first openly gay person to hold the position.”
Barack Obama, married and father of two girls, may be straight, but he has proven to be the most active President when
it comes to efforts that would establish homosexuality as a “normal” lifestyle in America. He is not alone in this; it is the
goal of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender movement (GLBT) in America.
While I fully expect to evoke howls from the GLBT movement in saying this, the fact remains that no where in nature is
homosexuality the norm. It is always an aberration because heterosexuality ensures the propagation of any and all
species. It is abnormal for members of the same sex to prefer one another. The recognition of this fact reaches back to
the origins of humanity.
I am not advocating that homosexuals be stoned, hanged, or denied their civil rights. Gays (I will use the term to
describe homosexuals of both genders and all those who are confused about their gender) are protected by the
Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868 after the Civil War and designed to ensure that Afro-American’s civil rights
were not abridged or denied.
I have always thought that “gay” was an odd choice of words to describe homosexuals because those whom I have
known rarely evinced much happiness about being regarded by the rest of society as aberrations. They may have made
their personal peace with it, but the notion that a society based on heterosexuality should regard them as “normal”
defies logic.
Granting homosexuals the right to marry is an act of societal suicide. I will cite some examples below.
In late February, 2011, the White House and the Department of Justice announced that U.S. government would no
longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman. It is
a warning of moral decay that America has reached a point where it requires a law to assert this definition, recognized
from the dawn of civilization, of mankind itself.
Attorney General Eric Holder noted that federal agencies would continue to abide by the act, but made it clear that he
and the President consider it unconstitutional. No where in the U.S. Constitution is there any reference to
homosexuality, nor a suggestion that it is normal. It is being challenged by homosexuals in a number of court cases,
including cases in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.
Robin McGehee, Director of GetEQUAL, which describes itself as a national lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
civil rights organization, said, “For 15 years DOMA has been a thorn in the side of the LGBT community, preventing
loving couples from being fully equal under the law.” They are fully equal. They just can’t get married because
marriage is the keystone of society. Weakening the definition of marriage can only serve to weaken society.
When Massachusetts’ Supreme Court, on November 18, 2003, announced its Goodridge opinion, ruling that it was
unconstitutional to not allow same-sex “marriage,” it opened the floodgates to events that have appalled much of that
state’s heterosexual population.
It particularly hit the school systems throughout Massachusetts. There were instances of school assemblies to
celebrate same-sex “marriage” and swiftly moved from middle to elementary schools where the teaching of
homosexuality became part of the curriculum. Kindergartners were given picture books that depicted homosexual
“marriage” as just another kind of family, second graders were exposed to a book, “King and King” about two men
who have a romance and marry with a picture of them kissing. School libraries across the state instituted shelves of
books presenting homosexual behavior as normal. “Gay days” in schools were considered necessary to fight
“intolerance.”
This is giving parents fits, but it was President Barack Obama who installed Kevin Jennings as the White House “safe
schools” czar in the Department of Education, even though Jennings is a major homosexual activist who has pushed
the homosexual agenda in the nation’s schools. Jennings, prior to his appointment, was the Founder and Executive
Director of the nationwide Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network.
President Obama nominated Elena Kagan to a lifetime position as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court despite
her activism as Dean of the Harvard Law School during which she expelled military recruiters over the Armed Forces’
ban on homosexuals. She called it a “moral injustice of the first order.” She was known for recruiting homosexual
activists to the school’s faculty such as the former ACLU lawyer, William Rubenstein, to teach “queer” legal theory
and elevated an outspoken lesbian professor, Janet Halley. She encouraged Harvard students to get involved in
homosexual activist legal work.
These White House appointments are just one part of what millions of Americans have come to realize as measures
taken to undermine the nation’s moral authority, its legal system, its economy, its military strength and defense, and
its energy security.
In 2012, Americans will clean house in the White House and the Congress, electing men and women who understand
that homosexuality is an unfit condition for marriage, for service in the military, and that its justification in the states
and the courts is a stealth attack on the nation.
