Description

Why are Americans being forced to consider homosexual acts as morally acceptable? Why has the US Supreme Court discovered a constitutional right to same-sex "marriage", which until a decade ago, was unheard of in the history of Western or any other civilization? Where has the "gay rights" movement come from, and how has it so easily conquered America? The answers are in the dynamics of the rationalization of sexual misbehavior. The power of rationalization--the means by which one mentally transforms wrong into right--drives the gay rights movement, gives it its revolutionary character, and makes its advocates indefatigable. The homosexual cause moved naturally from a plea for tolerance to cultural conquest because the security of its rationalization requires universal acceptance.

taught about morality and the need to avoid what to me is sinful, so I have no quarrel with the author's thesis that one should avoid what is clearly an unhealthy life style. He also rasies serious questions as to whether homosexuality is immutable for all those who practice it. And he likewise shows that the vaunted change in the listing of homosexualtiy as not deviant behavior was the result not of study but of determined campaigning by some homosexual acttivists. The book is full of interesting argument and deserves study by all who are interested in the subject.
