[What prompted Matthew Shepard’s Death?]
As most of you are well aware, the homosexual community has made inroads into, infiltrated, and contaminated almost every branch of this great nation’s frontiers. Who’s to blame for this intrusion? We are. How? By our complacency. If you entertain doubts that the homosexual community has invaded and contaminated this nation’s chief avenues of communication, I suggest you read the March 28, 2000 issue of Advocate, the most prominent homosexual magazine. It boasts that homosexuals control Hollywood and the engines of the entire American entertainment industry—film and television, music and theater. By controlling these avenues of communication, they are able to shape the minds of millions of American youth. Our battle with the forces of evil has just begun. But let’s get back to the story.
It was Christmas season and everyone was supposed to love and forgive. So here comes “Tony,” a homosexual dying from AIDS, who announces to his parents he’s homosexual and carries the fatal disease. His father is up in arms, but his mother has a forgiving spirit. She tries to convince Tony’s father that he’s always been that way, he can’t help it, and that he (the father) should find room in his heart to accept him as he is, “for he’s your son.”
Angels, too, try to persuade the father that he should accept his son, for he cannot help being what he is. Another angel lovingly lectures Tony on his death bed and assures him that God loves all of His children, including Tony, and that he has nothing to worry about. The father tells one of the angels who pressures him to go to Tony, “He’s gay! He’s a queer!” The angel responds, “He’s your son!” In the end, however, the father goes to his son with open arms and a heart full of acceptance. Tony dies, an angel appears, unites with his departed spirit, accompanies him to the spiritual dimension, and everything turns out beautifully.
As mentioned earlier, they have made heavy inroads into every sector of our society, particularly the entertainment industry and public school systems. It is common knowledge the Walt Disney Industries have largely been consumed by the sodomite community. They have strongly penetrated the entertainment industry because this is their most promising avenue through which to communicate their perverted way of life to millions of Americans—our children, our grandchildren, teenagers, and young adults.
They have infiltrated our public school systems with reading material designed to convince young students that homosexuality is an honorable and acceptable way of life. They are now in federal, state, and local politics. Many of them hold positions of authority. Others are helping to legislate laws in favor of homosexuality. Everywhere and in every place they are insisting they be treated preferentially. And when they are not granted preferential treatment, they protest and cry discrimination.
It must never be forgotten that Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities were literally wiped off the face of the earth because an invasive force called homosexuality had turned them into a sewer of depravity. Jude, the biblical writer, refers to their sexual conduct as “perversion.”
The great apostle Peter says that God “condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly.” Peter describes their sexual behavior as “the filthy lives of lawless men” (2 Peter 2:6-8). That pretty well says it all, doesn’t it?
According to the homosexual lobby and the liberal, “politically correct” media, Matthew was murdered because of his sexual “preference.” Consequently, it was splattered all over the countryside and beyond as a “hate crime.” The “hate crime” scenario was initiated by a homosexual newspaper reporter in Laramie, who dispatched the lie to homosexual organizations and, who in turn, relayed the lie to the liberal media. The liberal media broadcast the lie from there.
However, on October 26, 2004, ABC’s 20/20 documented the fact that it was not a hate crime after all. Instead, robbery and drugs prompted the killing—not hatred for homosexuals. For the first few years of Matthew’s death, the homosexual community and the godless media had a hey-day from this event. But no longer. The truth is out!
My position is that the two killers deserve the severest of punishments. I detest what happened. It shouldn’t have happened to the worst of offenders, regardless of lifestyle. The major media, as usual in cases involving homosexuals (as noted above), made a big thing of the hideous crime.
However, let’s turn the coin around and view the other side. If homosexuals had tied a Christian to a wooden fence and beaten him to death because of his being a Christian, the liberal media would never have made a big deal of the incident. They would have hardly touched it. Why? Because Christians are not “politically correct!” It would never have been called a “hate crime.”
A few years ago, homosexuals in California disturbed a church meeting and harassed its attendees because the speaker was addressing the sin of homosexuality. They tried to break up the meeting, and did damage to the church building. The police were called, but they did little about the incident. No arrests were made. The media hardly touched it.
A few years ago, on a local TV station, it was reported that homosexuals had obstructed a meeting and badgered Christians during a speech by the celebrated evangelist Jerry Falwell. During the speech, Jerry implored homosexuals and lesbians to surrender their perverted lifestyles and seek the face of Jesus for healing. One minister was struck in the face with a pie. The police had to break up the disturbance. As far as I was able to ascertain, the major networks played shut-mouth. If Christians had disrupted a homosexual meeting and disquieted the homosexual speaker, there would have been no end to the “newsworthy” event by the liberal, mainline media.
And pray tell me: Doesn’t the same Constitutional rights that permit homosexuals to verbally and publicly oppose Christianity equally apply to Christians who verbally and publicly defy homosexuality? Or are we subjected to two sets of Constitutional rights—one for the homosexual and the other for the Christian? Aren’t we all living under one Constitution? May only sexually perverted citizens dissent while “straight” citizens are denied? Satan is having a hey-day. Let’s get off our butts and be heard, Christians! You have a voice, use it. Speak up and speak out!
If a heterosexual had taken the life of a homosexual, the major media would have splashed the account over every TV and radio station and on the pages of every newspaper in the country for weeks. It would have been called a “hate crime” (Clinton and Gore’s pet term). Then why wasn’t the incident involving a homosexual and his lover called a “hate crime?” Or a “jealous crime?” Or a “passion crime?” Hey, America, wake up! Our country is being invaded! Up in spiritual arms! Now, not later. Satan must be subdued. Only the message of the cross will do it. If we don’t do it, it won’t get done.
We believers are not to hate homosexuals, voyeurs, exhibitionists, or entertain animosity toward any class of people—regardless of the nature of their depravities. As ministering servants, we’re to minister to all men as opportunity affords. On the other hand, we’re to recognize a moral and spiritual plague when it looks us squarely in the eyes. And not only recognize it, but confront it. Otherwise, it will conquer us.
Are you interested in the “excuse” the homosexual gave for his sexual encounters with male children? He was helping the boys to understand their sexuality by administering sex therapy counseling! The “therapy” included oral sex—as one of the boys testified. More and more homosexual teachers and counselors are penetrating and contaminating our public schools. Shame and disgrace do not come close to describing the evils that lurk in the hearts of the sexually perverted.
What can we do? Raise our voices! Write letters to Editors. Speak up and speak out! For if we hide our heads in the sand and do nothing, the homosexual and AIDS plague will overwhelm us and our children and our children’s children. Is this what we want? Well, is it?
