The Ultimate Goal of the Gay Rights Movement

A story from the Netherlands illustrates the ultimate goal of the gay rights movement internationally, and I would say in this country as well:

REUSEL, Netherlands, February 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Dutch priest who refused Communion on February 13th to his town’s openly homosexual Carnival “prince” is now facing police complaints from homosexual activists.

The complaints follow a protest by homosexualists at the Catholic parish in Reusel on Sunday, which was held in response to the decision of the pastor, Fr. Luc Buyens, to withhold Communion from Gijs Vermeulen, 24, at the town’s traditional Carnival Mass.

Fr. Buyens had alerted Vermeulen in advance, stating that he must refuse him Communion because the young man had made a public display of his active homosexuality leading up to the town’s Carnival festivities.

Anticipating the protest, the priest decided, in consultation with his bishop in Den Bosch, not to distribute Communion at Mass this past Sunday, stating that he wanted to avoid “sins” and “sacrilege.”

Robert Cooijmans, a homosexual who attends the Roman Catholic parish in Cuijk, lodged his complaint against Fr. Buyens with the police yesterday.  He accuses Fr. Buyens of “discrimination,” claiming that his own pastor has never refused him the Eucharist.

Now, maybe, this gets dismissed, maybe it doesn’t, but it’s going to take a lot of time, energy, and effort for this priest to actually get out of this. Legal harassment and stress are going to take a toll. Just as a few years back, in Sweden a pastor spoke out against homosexuality and spent months going through the appeals process. and at the end, decided he would not speak out against homosexuality at all to avoid more legal trouble.

Of course in the United States, the use of police powers is limited, but still there are efforts. In the U.S., a Photographer who refused to work a gay committment ceremony was ordered to pay a $6,000 fine.

To be clear, I don’t think “the gays” in the sense of all homosexuals are in some grand cabal to deprive their fellow citizens of their basic rights to freedom of conscience. Many just want to live their lives and be left alone. I have no issue with them. Of course this paragraph will be completely ignored in the comments.

However, the professional radical agitators do have this in mind. They want to see a day where anyone who disagrees with homosexuality in any way is punished. They want them to lose their jobs, and be harassed by the police, as well as Orwellian named Human Rights Commissions which will serve to punish people for their religious views and refusal to participate and bless homosexuality.

To deny this agenda is to deny the facts and to deny the overall push of this movement in state after state, and nation after nation. The gay rights movement is not destructive because it pushes homsoexuality It is destructive because it seeks to destroy religious freedom and undermine the ability those who disagree with them to function in society. The long-term thrust of the movement is to transform America into a place where you have to live in fear if you disagree with them.
