RE:    We Need Your Help to Save Our Children – and Nation – from the Radical Homosexual Agenda.     

Dear Friend of the Thomas More Law Center: 

          To put it simply  . . .  .

          . . . .  Time is running out. 

Despite their relatively small numbers, radical homosexuals wield enormous power.  They dominate our cultural elite, Hollywood, the television industry, the mainstream news media, academia, public schools, the legal community, federal bureaucracy, Congress, a significant portion of the judiciary ─ and even some “Christian” denominations.  

Opposition is being silenced.  School children are being indoctrinated.  And the homosexual lifestyle is now being forced on mainstream America through the courts, town councils, county commissions, state legislatures, and even Congress. 

Their goal is not merely to bring about social acceptance of homosexuality and same-sex marriage, but to prohibit any opposition and criminalize any public criticism of homosexuality as wrong.  They have harnessed the news media to discredit anyone who opposes the homosexual agenda as hateful, bigoted and intolerant.  

In fact, Christ and the truth of His teaching remains the primary obstacle for radical homosexuals and the wholesale acceptance of their immoral agenda.  That is why Christians remain their primary targets . . . and why it is so crucial for TMLC to be involved in this fight! 

The Bible tells us that homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity and contrary to the natural law.   

As I will show you in a moment, Thomas More Law Center attorneys have already done much to oppose the homosexual agenda.  But much more needs to be done. That’s why the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) has embarked on an aggressive campaign to stop the advance of this radical homosexual onslaught. 

Today I am writing to ask for your help to fund TMLC’s campaign. Click here to donate.   

When Marine General Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — our nation’s top general — publicly stated last year that homosexual acts were immoral and had no place in the military, he was denounced, not only by homosexual activists, but by political leaders from both parties.  He refused to apologize . . . and was fired. 

When Oklahoma State Legislator Sally Kern expressed her concern that the homosexual agenda was destroying our Nation, and young children are being indoctrinated into believing that the homosexual lifestyle is normal, she was targeted by national homosexual groups for harassment and political defeat. 

Homosexual zealots flooded her office with over 30,000 vulgar hate-filled e-mails (click here to read some of these emails), pressured financial supporters to withdraw their support, demonstrated against her in front of the State Capitol, put up a candidate to challenge her in the Fall, and harassed her husband’s church (he is a Baptist minister), but Rep. Kern stood firm and refused to apologize.  A subsequent rally was held at the state capitol to support Rep. Kern and thousands showed-up, and the exposed homosexual radicals backed down when they and their hate emails were exposed to the light of day. 

The Thomas More Law Center represents Rep. Kern. 

Sadly — unlike General Pace and Representative Kern — many Christians hide in the bushes ─ conscientious objectors in this crucial battleground of the “culture war.”  Christians remaining silent merely emboldens these radical activists to even more brazen actions.         

"All Christian Bibles, books, crosses, symbols, ceremonies and holidays [have been] ordered out of the public square and public schools.  Out went Adam and Eve, in came Heather has Two Mommies. . . .  Out went Bible teachings about the immorality of homosexuality; in came the homosexuals to teach about the immorality of homophobia."

- Pat Buchanan, from his best seller, “Death of the West”

Homosexual advocacy groups, with their tremendous financial resources, fund a phalanx of lawyers who fan out across our country and into courtrooms to defeat the will of the majority.              

For instance, 

·       In 2003, the U. S. Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas, held that laws making homosexual sodomy a crime violate the federal constitution.  The Court said that morality was not a rational basis for the legislature to pass laws prohibiting such acts.  Now all laws that prohibit evils such as prostitution, adultery, incest, sadomasochisms, polygamy, polyandry, and even bestiality are at risk.   

·       In 2004, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, redefined marriage to include any two persons, thereby legalizing homosexual marriages in the State.  In a show of raw judicial power, the State’s highest court gave the Massachusetts’ Legislature 180 days to implement the decision and start issuing marriage licenses to homosexual partners. 

·       In 2006, the New Jersey Supreme Court, in Lewis v. Harris, ruled that homosexual couples are entitled to the same legal rights and financial benefits as heterosexual couples.  The Court ordered the state legislature to implement their ruling within 180 days.  The New Jersey legislature meekly complied — so much for the separation of powers.  

·       And in 2008, as I write you this letter, the California Supreme Court, In re Marriage Cases, which involves six separate cases, will decide this June whether they should legalize same-sex marriages – in spite of the fact that its citizens had voted to outlaw homosexual marriages just a few years ago. 

This is a David versus Goliath battle.                         

Like General Pace and Sally Kern, however, we are not afraid to take a stand against the homosexual agenda.    

But these efforts require your financial help.  Please click here to make a tax-deductible donation now. 

The legal battles now taking place, and those that will take place in the next few years, will determine whether the family as we have known it for thousands of years will continue.  The outcome depends on YOU and Christians like you. 

Homosexuals Employ Fascists Tactics in our Public Schools

The Nazi’s knew it.  And radical homosexual activists know it: The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next. 

Adolf Hitler, in a speech given on November 6, 1933, said,   

“When an opponent declares ‘I will not come over to your side, ’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already. . . .  You will pass on.  Your descendants, however, now stand in a new camp.  In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’”          

Taking a page out of Hitler’s playbook, homosexual activists have gained control of our public schools.

“The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new ─ the rotting corpse of Christianity . . . and the new faith of humanism.”

- John Dunphy, 1983, “The Humanist”

The tentacles of homosexual advocacy groups now reach deep into our public schools, indoctrinating our children.   As a result, many young people today — the leaders of tomorrow — believe there is no difference between homosexual and heterosexual behavior, marriages, or families.  

·       In one Massachusetts school district, without informing parents, kindergarten and first grade students were read the story “King and King,” which is about 2 princes who fall in love and marry.  The last page of the book ─ undoubtedly shown to the children ─ ends with a picture of the 2 kings kissing.

Tell me this is not indoctrination! 

When outraged parents found out, they sued the school district.  Incredibly  ─ but not surprisingly ─ the First Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the teacher’s right to read the book saying, “Public schools are not obliged to shield students from ideas which potentially are religiously offensive.”  

Lawyers handling that case have indicated they are going to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review that decision.  Should the Court agree, TMLC will file a friend of the court brief supporting the parents’ fundamental rights. 

·       A 24-page, pro-homosexual booklet is set to be distributed to all 16,000 school districts in the nation.  The booklet by the National Education Association and the American Psychological Association falsely tells students that homosexuality is a “normal _expression of human sexuality.” 

·       Every year, homosexual activists groups, with the approval of school officials, sponsor a “Day of Silence” when students and some teachers in schools across the nation remain silent by placing tape across theirs mouths throughout the school day.  This year it’s on April 25^th.  The stated purpose is to make others aware of discrimination against homosexuals.  In reality, it is a means of propagandizing and pressuring students to regard homosexual, bisexual, and transgender behavior as normal.  It is also a way to pressure Christian opposition into silence. 

·       Despite the lack of scientific evidence, students are taught that it is natural for some persons to be born homosexual. 

For example: In the Montgomery County, Maryland School district, eighth and tenth graders are taught that homosexuality is innate ─ they’re born that way.  To underscore the point, students are shown a film instructing them on how to use condoms in anal and oral sex, as if such acts were a natural part of human relationships.   

TMLC is fighting back. 

Here are just some of the legal initiatives TMLC lawyers engaged in to fight the radical homosexual agenda.     

·       TMLC drafted and helped secure passage of Michigan’s Marriage Amendment, a constitutional amendment that provides “the union of one man and one woman shall be the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose.”  Recently, the Michigan Court of Appeals applied TMLC’s Marriage Amendment to prevent the Governor and cities from recognizing same-sex domestic partnerships. 

·       TMLC filed a friend of the court brief with the Nebraska Supreme Court to prevent homosexual couples from adopting under Nebraska’s adoption law.  

·       TMLC filed a friend of the court brief with the Kansas Supreme Court, successfully contending that a person born a male having a sex change operation to appear like a woman could not be validly married to another man and could not be that man’s surviving spouse for purposes of probate. 

·       TMLC filed a federal lawsuit against the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for passing a venomous resolution that officially condemned the Catholic Church for its religious teaching in opposition to adoptions by homosexual couples.  The case is currently pending in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

·       TMLC filed a friend of the court brief with the California Supreme Court defending two evangelical physicians sued by a lesbian because the physicians refused to artificially inseminate her based upon their religious beliefs.  Even though other doctors were willing to inseminate her, this lesbian filed the lawsuit to intimidate other Christian physicians from following their faith. 

·       TMLC’s West Coast director filed a lawsuit on behalf of four Christian fire fighters in the San Diego Fire Department who were ordered to participate in a “gay parade” after they refused requests from their chief to volunteer. 

·       TMLC is currently helping several Florida pro-family groups oppose the radical homosexual agenda in their communities.  The Miami-Dade County commission was forced to delay and reconsider their plans to allow a so-called domestic partnerships registry with marriage like benefits in their county.  The Law Center also helped draft a charter amendment and organize Christians and business leaders in Gainesville to overturn a misguided attempt to give civil rights to the self-perceived gender identity of individuals. 

·       And the list goes on . . . . 

As you can see from this list of cases, radical homosexuals don’t want to simply co-exist, they want to force others to accept their radical agenda.   

In fact, they want to destroy all opposition, particularly Christian opposition, any way they can. . . . and their most effective way to do so is through the Courts . . . which is why we need your support today!

Abolition of the Family is their Goal

Because a man and woman united in marriage together with their children is the foundation of western civilization, once the traditional family is eliminated, western civilization will end. 

In 1969, Dennis Altman, one of the leading homosexual activists of the time, called for the abolishment of the family.  He knew that unless homosexuals had a hand in raising children ─ whether through adoption or artificial insemination,  they would never be considered on equal terms as heterosexuals.   

Of course, even before Altman’s attack on the family, traditional marriage and family were already being battered and undermined by our laws and culture.  The question is, however, can these traditional institutions survive under the additional weight of the mobilized homosexual forces now arrayed against them? 

According to Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, our country will tip for or against the sanctity of marriage in the next five years. 

According to Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput, the risk of losing marriage is the most imminent threat to our society. 

Americans Oppose Homosexual Marriages 

Despite the fact that every citizen’s initiative to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman has succeed by overwhelming votes in the individual States (except Arizona), the radical homosexual agenda moves forward.

Homosexuals focus their energies on enacting favorable local ordinances, putting their allies in positions of power, and lawsuits.  

If they lose the big battles, they proceed incrementally . . . . 

If homosexual marriages are prohibited, they attempt to legalize civil unions.  If civil unions are prohibited, they attempt to obtain domestic partnership benefits or the right to adopt. 

As I mentioned, their financial resources and political power is immense  ─ far greater than their numbers ─ and they are intent on destroying the religious foundation of our nation and our culture.   

Undaunted, however, the Thomas More Law Center is continuing the legal battles to save traditional marriage and the family . . . for our children and future generations.  But we cannot succeed without your help. 

Homosexual activists are making a concerted effort to infiltrate the centers of power and influence.  Just this past month, a memo was sent to homosexuals informing them to send their resumes to the presidential candidates in order to be first in line for presidential appointments. 

Their plan is to pretend to look and act normal, portraying themselves as victims seeking basic “civil” rights.  Once they are so accepted, they could unleash their sick and peculiar characteristics into the open — sadomasochists, cross dressers, transgenders, man-boy lovers . . . and the list goes on.  

TMLC has been at the forefront at exposing these activist homosexuals for who they truly are, and what their version of reality is.   

·       TMLC called for the boycott’s of the San Diego Padres for sponsoring a gay pride event at the same time they were having a family day.  

·        TMLC also called for a boycott of Miller Beer for sponsoring the San Francisco Folsom Street Festival where there were open sex acts in front of children, Jesus’ Last Supper was mocked, transvestites dressed as nuns and presented themselves for communion at a local Catholic Church, as well as other forms of unimaginable debauchery.  Miller Beer agreed not to sponsor this “Fair” again.

Christians love the sinner ─ but hate the sin.

As faithful Christians, you and I know that the more faithful we are to Christian teachings, the more we will be vilified and labeled extreme.  When Christians speak out against the homosexual agenda, they are called “bigots, ” “intolerant, ” and some even threatened with prosecution for so called “hate crimes.” 

But time is running out.
