Anti Gay Campaign

Mayor of London Boris Johnson has stopped a poster campaign supporting the Christian notion that homosexuality is a sin. It is an interesting position for a servant of the public to take, in a country where the Christian faith is supposed to be a central part of its 'Establishment'.

The posters were particularly offensive apparently, because they claimed that homosexuality could be 'cured'. The objection is to the word 'cured' but the Gay supporters also carefully avoid the word. Their assertion is that to cure something you have to believe that something is wrong in the first place.

Christians would say, without needing a recourse to malice, that the human species continues due to sexual congress; it is not surprising then that other sexual unions would be considered unnatural. For me, this is probably too extreme a reaction to the condition in which a homosexual finds themselves. It is not something the homosexual 'does', they are born with the trait, in just the same way a heterosexual is born with theirs.

Society then has to decide how to react to the situation. Surely it should just be ignored and the homosexuals keep their activity to the confines of their homes as should heterosexuals. But we come back to that word cure again. Because homosexual activists don't want to be ignored or tolerated, they want to be 'equal' (by which they mean privileged, treated as victims).

This means they must insist on irrelevant 'needs' that are only demanded to cause schism and disagreement, to antagonise. Marriage is one such antagonism. Marriage is a human construct to tie together two people who intend to raise children, their children. The society bestows what support it can on these people as children are the future. Homosexuals have absolutely no reason to get 'married' and the requirement to do so is not envy, but political.

Mayor Johnson's support for the political activity of this group, to oppose the political activity of another shows how all of us are in thrall to the victim claims of homosexuals (a tactic of the Left generally). They have the 'moral' high ground, because they have constructed a situation where certain things cannot be said, not because they represent some clear evil, but because they oppose homosexuality (for instance). All part of the Political Correctness drive to control language and thus people; very Orwellian.

I am sure that we could discover how to change the brain chemistry of a homosexual to turn them into a heterosexual, but I'm not sure I understand why you would want to. They are unlikely to have an innate feeling that there is something wrong with themselves, as opposed to someone who cannot walk for instance. The utility of being able to use your legs is somewhat more apparent.

Because of the aggression that activists have attached to their 'cause' however, should someone wish to 'convert', say to have a relationship to raise children in the normal way, I fear that they would be intimidated not to. It is an unlikely scenario but it is one that the activists are not careless about; they are very careful to challenge any such thought. Naturally, they would be enraptured if a heterosexual wished to become a homosexual. That would be OK. But oppression is oppression no matter what its self proclaimed intention.
