The existence and power of the gay mafiaNot only is there a
gay mafia but it is recognizable, well funded and politically active.
The "Gay Mafia" and "Velvet Mafia" are typically associated with the upper echelons of the fashion and entertainment industries, and the terms are also used humorously by gay people themselves, some looking to David Geffen as the unofficial head.
They're
well funded and active:
Stonewall, the leading gay rights organisation, has an annual budget approaching £1 million, much of which is raised through the business community. Sponsorship, advertising and corporate fund-raising deals bring in enough revenue to fund a slick campaign, a spacious suite of offices in central London and a regular stream of champagne receptions and events.
And very much involved in changing legislation:
In a survey by YouthSpeak, the gay rights youth group which I chaired for a while, it was found that 84 per cent of young people valued social changes over legal reforms, and that over 70 per cent thought that most gay rights organisations put too much emphasis on trying to change laws.
Like most PC advocates, the gay mafia has clout in its chosen areas of influence and has
interwoven with powerful people:
The former head of the CAA talent agency made the accusation in an interview for the August issue of Vanity Fair. Ovitz accuses record mogul David Geffen, co-founder of DreamWorks SKG, of leading the gay Mafia, which includes a few business leaders who are not gay, such as Michael Eisner, CEO of Disney.
Ovitz, who sold his company, the Artists Management Group, in May for $12 million, says he doesn't understand why he is so hated by the group.
... and
with public authorities:
Leicester City Council funds a Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Centre which runs a regular "Lesbians making babies" workshop to teach the principles of self-insemination. The centre receives £35,385 from local authorities.
... or
It is a criminal offence to commit a homosexual act in public whether it be in a public lavatory ("cottage") or a public park ("cruising ground"). Yet Lambeth, Southwark & Lewisham Health Authority have published a step by step internet guide to "making cruising more enjoyable" which provides advice on what to do if you are arrested.
... or
Camden and Islington Health Promotion NHS Trust provide a fully searchable internet database to help homosexual men find gay saunas, "leather bars" and other places where they can break the law and engage in the very activities which most place their health at risk.
Not long ago they targeted the last bastion of male youth -
the Boy Scout Movement, seeking to allow the recruitment of gay counsellors and attacking the movement's refusal to countenance this:
We see this process working every day in the competitive market. The rights of boys are not violated because the Girl Scouts exclude them. The rights of Presbyterians are not violated because Catholics won't give them Holy Communion. The rights of girls are not violated because the NFL won't let them play. Each exclusion creates a new market niche, and all together they form real as versus coerced diversity.
The gay lobby construed their blocking as an
attack on human rights:
If I had suggested to you 10 years ago, that the Boy Scouts of America would come under attack by the homosexual lobby, you would have declared that prospect preposterous too. Face facts, the homosexual lobby is a subversive organization which is working to redefine traditional (male/female) families. They won't stop until they are stopped! Live and live yes, but don't shove the crap down my throat! [Stephanie M. Davis]
The false constructs of homosexuality and sexual orientationPerhaps the most insidious aspect, due to its subtle message spanning a growing generation of youth, are the social constructs "sexual orientation" and "homophobia", trotted out as freely as "conspiracy theorist" and given hijacked titles such as "Human Rights" which has about as much connection with the gay mafia as "Democratic" has to the former "Democratic" Soviet satellites.
For a start, these constructs are built on a
false first premise:
The reason why there was no word for homosexuality in Chinese was because it was never seen as a defining or integral part of a person’s identity. Male-male sexual and romantic bonds were construed as relationships between two people as opposed to a psychological essence that defined either person. Moreover, these same-sex bonds were seen as a perfectly acceptable and natural way of life in Imperial China (Hinsch, 1992).
Part of the reason why gay culture exists is as a counter-reaction to the oppression and marginalization of homosexuals over the past 150 years in Western culture, but the reason why that marginalization occurred in the first place was because a special category of life-long sexual preferences was created and defined as psychologically aberrant. There are two assumptions that were embedded in that definition and both are problematic. First of all, the concept of homosexuality, and more importantly our conceptualization of sexual orientation, assumes a life-long predisposition.
It is just not so that only birth is the primary factor and that one will be homosexual from birth to grave.
As a former boarding housemaster of a senior boys' house, I can cite you many cases of overt homosexual [needs really to be seen as bi] activity, particularly around Class 8/9 level and the reaction of the married couple and myself who ran the house was to not make too big a deal of it.
Many readers know I'm public school educated and the instances I can cite there where homosexuality was displayed are beyond count. Most boys grow out of this but those who don't grow out of it find themselves in a lifestyle and community in which such activity is acceptable. Hence Burgess, MacLean and Blunt.
As
Julie Bindel puts it:
Attempts to identify a genetic basis for homosexuality refuse to accept that sexual desire is a social construct. If we wanted to be straight, we would be.
Youth orientation and interferenceThe most insidious aspect of the constructs themselves is the interference with youth sexually maturing in its own way. Quite simply, the gay lobbies wish to reach a young group and present to them "choices", not as "straight" and "aberrant" but as two equal choices as one would choose between Republican and Democrat.
An article on youth suicide
says:
My own experiences with a sexual minority youth groups in Calgary from 1991 to 1996 has taught me to give warnings with respect to anyone contemplating the referral of a youth to such a group, especially with respect to accountability and honesty issues. For example, trouble in Calgary's gay community began after I had been reporting some unwelcome "community" truths, such as the reality of adolescents boys relating sexually with much older gay males because they often were only attracted to older males, and about boys ending up in gay clubs by the age of 14 years as a result of their contact with the gay and lesbian youth group.
I also reported realities such as an 1994 observation made by a 19-year-old Calgary gay youth leader. On the basis of his experiences with many gay youth groups in Canada, about half were reported to be "fuckfest" (sic) groups. He noted this, however, only after I reported what I had overheard a Calgary Gay Lines peer counselor tell a teenager who had called for advice. He was told not visit the gay and lesbian youth group because he would only get "fucked there" (sic).
The great lie the gay mafia peddles is that they are not paedophilic and that large numbers of paedophiles don't prefer boys [not in an overall majority but
most certainly they do]:
In 1995 the homosexual magazine "Guide" said, "We can be proud that the gay movement has been home to the few voices who have had the courage to say out loud that children are naturally sexual" and "deserve the right to sexual expression with whoever they choose. …" The article went on to say: "Instead of fearing being labeled pedophiles, we must proudly proclaim that sex is good, including children's sexuality … we must do it for the children's sake."
... or
Larry Kramer, the founder of ACT-UP, a noted homosexual activist group, wrote in his book, "Report from the Holocaust: The Making of an AIDS Activist": "In those instances where children do have sex with their homosexual elders, be they teachers or anyone else, I submit that often, very often, the child desires the activity, and perhaps even solicits it."
... or
PFLAG has created a national campaign called, "From Our House to the Schoolhouse," distributing to school officials – among other materials – a booklet entitled, "Just the Facts About Sexual Orientation and Youth: A Primer For Principals, Educators, & School Personnel.
...
orAvon Health Promotion Services encourages children as young as 13 to act out role plays in class where their roles include: "Married man who was 'done' for cottaging... S & M heterosexual woman....transvestite cabaret artist". [Cottaging is the slang term for homosexual activity in lavatories] The video Avon has produced for schools targets pupils "Questioning their sexuality" and seeks to develop "coming out" skills. It ends with one boy saying "try experimenting with other boys and girls and see who you feel most comfortable with".

Haringey Council's Outzone project seeks to provide homosexual youth workers to go into Haringey and Barnet schools. The project is funded by local health authorities.

Oxfordshire County Council funds homosexual youth workers to "build appropriate relationships" with young people "unsure of their sexual identity".
Young people "unsure of their sexual identity"? And who determines this? And what sort of
lifestyle does the gay community have?
The real threat to homosexual Americans is not discrimination but physical devastation. The average life span of an American man is 73. The average smoker lives to 66 years of age. The best available research suggests that the average life span of male homosexuals is around 43 years of age. Forty-three.
When Elizabeth Birch of the Human Rights Campaign took him to task for using Dr. Cameron’s data, Mr. Bennett replied that he didn’t just get it from Dr. Cameron. He had a second source to support his statement — this passage from Jeffrey Satinover’s 1996 book Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth:
In April 1993, three researchers presented a paper to the Eastern Psychological Association… They found that the gay male life span, even apart from AIDS and with a long-term partner,is significantly shorter than that of married men in general by more than three decades. AIDS further shortens the life span of homosexual men by more than 7 percent.
OutingIf none of the aforementioned stirred anything in you, then perhaps the practice of "outing" might. In the name of eliminating hypocrisy, the gay community is well known for periodic bouts of
exposure of their own people:
In the late twentieth century, outing became a common term for taking someone "out of the closet" - that is, publicising that someone is gay. The term can be used to refer to any publicising of a person's homosexuality without their consent
The counterproductive effects of this and the justification for it are mentioned
here:
So if exposing someone’s homosexuality might help a larger cause, is there a principle that nevertheless holds that their privacy should be sacrosanct? Rep. Barney Frank, who came out voluntarily in 1987, has said that closeted politicians “don’t have the right to be a hypocrite; you don’t have a right to exempt yourself from the negative things you do to other people.”
Meaning that because you're gay, it's quite OK to expose someone else who is because you yourself think it's better if he does. Nice thinking.
And of course there is always
the Church to out:
The "outing" of 10 gay Bishops by OutRage! during the Church of England General Synod last November was arguably the biggest and most successful "outing" accomplished anywhere in the world. Previous "outings" by gay activists (mainly in the US) have been generally confined to naming lone individuals. None have ripped open the closet doors of an establishment institution quite so decisively as the OutRage! revelations in front of Church House, the London headquarters of the Anglican Church.
Outrage! Not one or two homosexuals but a recognizable organization dedicated to violating basic ethics - violating the right of a person's personal sexuality to be a matter between him and his partner.
So yes, I have many homosexual blogfriends and some personal friends I imagine are that way inclined. Good luck to them - they are consenting adults and can do as they wish, a point I made earlier today.
But the political propagation of said behaviour and the institutionalization of it in law to the point of making normal family oriented people criminal or vilified in opposing this propagation, e.g. in Penguin or the youth orienting of their message - this is something up with which I shall not put.
Sometimes, to see the real nastiness of the modern and ancient finance, it's necessary to look sideways at a relatively undeveloped economy and watch the sharks in operation:
