deserves and receives social opprobrium. Many
alcoholics eventually respond to social pressure and
quit - they become ex-alcoholics. Giving homo-
sexuals 'protected status' would reduce the motivation
of those enslaved to homosexual habits to quit and
result in a thinning of the ranks of ex-gays. Given the
many problems that homosexuals generate for
themselves and others, designating those currently
afflicted by the homosexual habit as a 'protected class'
would be particularly unkind and unwise.
*Some juvenile male primates sometimes engage in
homosexual-like sex play. None grows up to become
"exclusively homosexual" as about 1% of Western
males claim, nor do any monkey or ape adults
practice 'rimming', 'golden showers', 'hand balling'
or sadomasochism as part of their sexual repertoire.

Viable societies are organized to sustain themselves
by producing and educating succeeding generations.
Each child is expected to repay society for all he has
inherited by creating and nurturing a new generation. In
Western society, workers generally receive sufficient
income to both sustain themselves and raise a family.
Parents partially satisfy their debt by teaching their children
that soon it will be their turn to repay.
Homosexuals renounce their social obligation and
slavishly devote themselves to self-aggrandizement. They
rob society to pleasure themselves. Money remaining
after their basic requirements are met is regarded as
additional opportunity for personal pleasure rather than
a loan to be put into the service of societal betterment.
Getting more by doing less, homosexuals soon come to
regard special treatment as their inherent right. Those
who are rewarded for leeching soon come to regard
society with contempt, deserving destruction.
Homosexuals often spend their "extra" disposable
income roaming the world in search of sexual adventure.
Because of their promiscuity and incredibly unsanitary
sexual practices, pathogens once localized in a given
geographic region are rapidly being spread throughout
the world. AIDS is a first fruit of this process and many
more plagues stemming from homosexual behavior are
bound to occur. Homosexuals have already compromised
the nations's blood supply and are straining the resources
of the medical community. Homosexual activity combined
with modern modes of transportation assures that the
world's medical problems become both our risk and our
financial burden.
Like any interest group, homosexuals construct a
philosophy of life from their circumstances, associates
and regular activities. They attempt to validate their
lives by getting others to share in their practices and
world-view. Having acquired a monstrous habit, they
cannot feel good about themselves until everyone is
driven by sexual release. Tortured by their own lack of
productivity they cannot rest until the lives of others are
as trivial as their own. The only way that they can assure
that unfavorable comparisons cannot be made is to
persuade heterosexuality to become as empty and mean
as homosexuality. That is why homosexuals are such
ardent champions of the right to enjoy pornography,
adultery, divorce, abortion, and sex with children. In
every significant respect, homosexuality is a personal
tragedy and a social calamity.
Drug addicts endanger themselves and others, but
knowing that they do wrong they skulk in the dark or
pretend that they are not captives of their vice. They ply
their habit to escape the world. Of all the vices, only
homosexuality constitutes a conspiracy against society.
"In the closet" homosexuals thumb their nose at society
by having sex in public restrooms and parks, seducing
our children, and exploiting positions of trust for sexual
advantage. "Out of the closet" homosexuals go still furtherand demand that society conform to their own sorry
image. Filled with contemptuous amazement that society
would grant them standing, they have become ever more
outrageous in their demands. Homosexuals demand to
have "equal time" to persuade our children in school, to
parade on main street, to fill the airways with their
defective perspective on life. Unable, because of their
vice, to live genuinely constructive lives, they offer
aesthetics instead of moral rectitude, dancing instead of
building, "sensitivity" rather than purposeful contribution.
Under no circumstances ought homosexuality to be
regarded as other than a destructive habit-system. Those
who would recognize homosexuality as a legitimate life-
style are being manifestly unkind because they refuse
hope and motivation to those homosexually involved
and are adding to the sexual difficulties of our civilization.
Homosexuals should be encouraged to abandon their
unfortunate habit as have millions before them. Those
who turn from homosexuality to productive chastity or
responsible heterosexuality should be forgiven and
welcomed.
Those whose comfort depends upon cheating society
have few compunctions about twisting her institutions to
their own ends. Lacking any long-term interpersonal
commitments, there are few restraints or inhibitions on
what homosexuals say or claim. Little wonder that homo-
sexuals mock legitimate productive minorities by de-
manding to join them as a legally protected class. Minority
status coupled with 'special rights' for homosexuals?
When the equality they desire can only be achieved by
the destruction of any semblance of sexual stability? As
well society construct a gallows and then measuredly
hang itself on it.The following educational pamphlets have been produced by
