If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that I criticize journalists for not reporting what was said when athletes or other public figures get in trouble for making "homophobic" remarks. I now think that this is intentional rather than merely negligent. The aim of the news organization is to induce self-censorship in its audience. For consider: If all you know is that X got into trouble for making a "gay slur," you will not say anything even remotely negative about a homosexual. Why take the risk that what you consider a fair comment will be taken to be a "slur" by someone else?
The New York Times is at the forefront of normalizing homosexuality. Every day, it celebrates homosexuality, gay culture, gay art, and the gay "lifestyle." Hardly a day goes by when it doesn't tar opponents of homosexual "marriage" with the label "homophobe," as though there were no good reasons to preserve the institution of marriage. Homosexuals constitute two percent of the population, but their power is immense, because they have major news organizations such as the Times smearing anyone who says or does anything that adversely affects—or is thought adversely to affect—their interests. Reporters who refuse to quote those who use "gay slurs" are trying to instill fear in the populace. It is a disgraceful attempt to impose the gay agenda on everyone.
What these fear-mongerers don't realize is that people's attitudes toward homosexuals don't change as a result of intimidation. All that changes is behavior. People continue to think and feel what they thought and felt before; but now they keep their remarks to themselves, for fear of being vilified. Does this help homosexuals? If anything, it builds resentment among heterosexuals, who are terrified of being called "homophobic." We hear much these days about the race card. Call this the gay card. Homophobia is the new racism.
