Have You Been Conditioned?
– take our quiz

The sexual revolution has infiltrated American culture through science, law, entertainment, education systems and churches very rapidly by way of our technology-driven culture without substantive resistance. To find out if you have been conditioned to accept sexual revolutionist ideologies take the following quiz. Please take your time. These statements are meant to evoke serious reflection and stimulate awareness.

Read each of these 10 statements carefully and answer with True, False, or Unsure.

1. Science has found a gay gene proving that homosexuality is inborn like race or eye color.
2. You can pretty well tell a person (of any age) is gay by their interests and mannerisms.
3. Homosexual behaviors are generally as healthy and harmless as heterosexual behaviors.
4. There is no “gay agenda.” The gay rights movement is only about protection of a minority.
5. Same-sex parents can offer children everything opposite-sex parents can.
6. There is no significant link between pornography and homosexuality.
7. The National Education Association (NEA) and the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) support and promote teaching traditional sexual morality.
8. In 1973 the APA (American Psychological Association) unitedly removed homosexuality from its manual of disorders as a result of scientific research.
9. All those who take a stand against homosexuality are at least one of the following: religious zealots, intolerant, bigoted, ignorant, hateful, dangerous, homophobic.
10. In the world of professional psychology, modern reparative therapy for those truly desiring to overcome unwanted homosexual tendencies is highly unsuccessful.

Now, let’s grade our quiz.

1. False. The mainstream media have operated on this falsehood for so long that most people are either confused or convinced that it is true. There is no scientific evidence that homosexuality is inborn. Even the gay scientists who set out to find a “gay gene” have admitted total failure. Some even rightly concede that homosexuality is a moral rather than a scientific issue.

2. False. There is a false perception in the world that a person’s interests and mannerisms are automatically associated with sexuality. I heard a woman say that she just knew her 4-year old was gay because of how he walked, talked, and the toys and clothes he liked. The truth is that a child, if he has been protected from sex, knows nothing about sexuality. Giving him an abnormal, alternate sexual label is reprehensible. The reality is biological. Her son is not gay. DNA proves we are all either male or female, except in the case of rare birth defects. She should build up his masculinity rather than sexualize him. False stereotypes follow us as we grow up. For instance, if you are a rather sensitive, unmacho guy who is into theater, music, dancing or any of the fine arts, you may automatically be labeled gay. The most dangerous thing about these stereotypes is that people are strongly influenced by them. If lies are repeated long enough people begin to believe them. Labeling yourself or someone else “gay” based on outward characteristics is extremely hurtful. The only correlation between wholesome interests, harmless mannerisms, and sexuality is a figment of the imagination caused by our oversexualized culture. You can help reverse this ideology by refusing to sexualize personalties and by affirming the biological masculinity or biological femininity in the people around you.

3. False. We hear a lot about “loving, monogamous” homosexual relationships. The fact is, homosexual behaviors (such as sodomy), whether with one person or many, cause a variety of chronic and life-threatening health problem virtually unknown in wholesome, monogamous heterosexual behaviors. The risks, such as HIV/AIDS increase with promiscuity. Most males who have embraced homosexuality are highly promiscuous. Even those with “permanent partners” often have an “open relationship” allowing unlimited sexual relations.

4. False. Whether you realize it or not, there is a highly motivated and funded gay movement seeking to remake our God-based, moral culture into a godless, hedonistic one. Many of their indoctrination materials and programs are aimed directly at the young, as early as kindergarten. Their motto is “recruit, recruit, recruit.” (Donna Minkowitz, “gay” activist, 1992)

Tammy Bruce said, “I believe this grab for children by the sexually confused adults of the Gay Elite represents the most serious problem facing our culture today.”

The scariest thing I’ve heard so far was on the radio recently, a sentiment that was the embodiment of evil. To paraphrase, “ Let the heterosexuals breed,” said a gay professor in Oregon. “Let them have the children and give them their immunizations and all of that. But when they get into the school system, they are ours,” meaning ours to manipulate and indoctrinate into homosexuality and the like. (Michael Savage radio program, 10/23/06)

Make no mistake, there are principalities and powers in place aiming to usurp religion, traditional morality and the family, powers which threaten the safety, freedom, and progress of men.

In addition, the idea that homosexuals are a “minority” is an attempt to put certain ideas and behaviors in the same category as biological racial identity. Blacks in particular resent this false comparison. One black man pointed out that he never a saw black man change his race, but he’s seen a good many people decide to be gay or straight. Race in encoded in our DNA. Attitudes toward sexuality are not. Sexuality is learned.

5. False. Regardless of what you’ve been hearing, study after study after study indicate that children do best in every way being raised by opposite gender parents. Catholic Charities in Boston knew this and recently refused to allow gay couples to adopt through their system. When threatened with decertification by the state and loss of state funding unless they complied, the 100-year-old organization chose to go out of business rather than be forced to compromise foundational truths and place children with gay couples. See “Gender Complementarity and Child -Rearing; Where Tradition and Science Agree.”

6. False. Please note the following facts: Pornographers significantly drove the development of internet technology. Same-sex pornography is a whole new market. Self-identified homosexuals admit that pornography is their mainstay. (Try asking a “gay” person if he thinks, writes, talks, chats, or looks at sex. The honest answer most likely will be yes.) Pornography is highly addictive and keeps sexual feelings toward one’s same gender inflamed. According to one clinical expert, many who experience homosexual tendencies today can trace these feelings to a gay-affirming environment and same-sex pornography. Allowing young people access to porn amounts to societal child sexual abuse. Porn peddlers know children are their future market. An early addict is an easy sell – follow the money.

7. False. National organizations with power and influence over minors such as the NEA and PTA not only support the gay agenda but encourage adoption of its principles by school administrators and educators. The ACLU comes to their defense in situations where parents want to claim their right to protect their children from homosexual indoctrination (such as an openly lesbian teacher reading the picture book “King and King” to her elementary school class). Educational entities are generally highly liberal and cannot be trusted to pass on traditional family values to our children. Indeed, they are passing on sexual revolutionist ideologies instead.

8. False. The APA’s 1973 decision was the embarrassing result of political pressure from gay activists. The disastrous results have been widespread, fueling the sexual movement and intimidating clinical professionals as they try to treat those with unwanted homosexual tendencies. Responsible professionals have sought to overturn this underhanded act ever since. See “Sexual Politics and Scientific Logic: The Issue of Homosexuality.”

9. False. People who respectfully take a stand for traditional standards of morality or who lawfully act and speak in accordance with their sincere religious beliefs are not any of those things, including phobic, meaning mentally ill. These oft-repeated epithets are used to to justify bad behavior and to silence, intimidate, and discredit anyone opposing the highly politicized and financed homosexual movement.

10. False. Those who wish to justify homosexuality spread the lie that reparative therapy is harmful and that change is impossible. The truth is, individuals who truly desire freedom from unwanted homosexual tendencies have been shown to experience a high rate of success according to professional standards. Personal religious faith also often plays a significant role in changing from homosexual to heterosexual orientation. Many ex-gays have come forward to tell their inspiring stories and their numbers are increasing. Sadly, their message of truth and hope is ignored or silenced in the mainstream media, even in supposedly conservative, LDS Utah. For example, as it has sought to share this good news the Standard of Liberty Foundation has experienced defamation, misrepresentation, last-minute cancellations, ad hominem attacks, and flat rejection for publication, interviews, distribution, and advertizing (at our own expense) from the majority of local media outlets.

How did you do on our quiz? If you answered all the statements as false, congratulations. You have a firm grasp on reality and truth in a whole world gone wrong. If you were unsure or answered any of these statements as true, you have been conditioned to some degree, deceived into valuing the philosophies of men over the laws and God. But don’t be too dismayed. The world is full of cunning devices spread by a type of technology unprecedented in the history of the world. None of us are immune to this clever and pervasive propaganda. As Hugh Nibley put it, “None of us are very wise, or brave, or strong.” We need only seek truth and correct our thinking. C. S. Lewis wrote, “There are a dozen views about everything until you know the answer. And then there is only one.”

Happy deprogramming!
