Homosexuality in America has emerged boldly into the open, militantly seeking recognition and acceptance with significant political influence. Despite their small numbers, homosexuals wield power disproportionate to their population, bolstered by supportive leadership in the White House. Their movement has gained momentum over the years, particularly since the AIDS epidemic and with media sympathy enhancing their cause. Many now refer to this decade as the Gay '90s, reflecting their perceived arrival on the political stage. The homosexual lobby has become a formidable force in politics, backed by substantial financial assistance and politically correct movements. They have lobbied directly in the Oval Office, receiving promises of increased AIDS research funding, a federal AIDS czar, support for open homosexuals in the military, a proposed gay civil rights law, and key nominations such as a lesbian politician for a high-ranking position, confirmed by the Senate. Beyond federal support, eight states and the District of Columbia have enacted gay-rights laws to protect against discrimination. Despite only 1% of American males identifying as gay and widespread disapproval among the public, media coverage of events like the homosexual march on the nation's capital often portrays them favorably, focusing on mainstream images rather than controversial elements. The homosexual agenda includes demands for legal same-sex marriages, adoption rights for gay couples, national health-care benefits for AIDS patients, federal reimbursement for hate crimes, hiring quotas based on sexual preference, and mandated alternative lifestyle education in public schools, pushing boundaries far beyond current measures.

God does not in any way sanction homosexuality; the apostle Paul's statement in I Corinthians 6:9-10 is unambiguous on the point. When the Boy Scouts of America's National Council voted, with 61 percent approval, to admit openly homosexual boys beginning January 1, 2014, one of America's last bastions of nominally Christian morality gave way to the forces of tolerance and liberalism. The new policy says no youth may be denied membership on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone, and the organization's leaders call it compassionate, caring, and kind. Yet the change exposes the hypocrisy of the national leadership. Scouts pledge fealty to God, and God does not approve of homosexuality. The policy also violates the scout oath to be morally straight. Although the National Council declined to consider admitting openly gay adults and leaders, lawsuits may soon force that change as well.

The discussion of gay marriage and homosexual advocacy serves as a case study of how liberal political trends increasingly marginalize traditional, conservative positions in American society. Alongside shifting attitudes on immigration and fiscal policy, homosexual rights—particularly the push for gay marriage, which is characterized as a misnomer—represent an area where liberals feel especially emboldened. Although only nine states and the District of Columbia had legalized gay marriage at the time, with Rhode Island and California offering limited recognition, and thirty-nine states prohibiting it either constitutionally or by statute, gay activists were already declaring victory and telling conservatives to abandon the issue entirely. Despite this perceived momentum, objective research continues to support the traditional, conservative view of family structure. The homosexual lobby and sympathetic media, however, are described as attempting to intimidate and discredit any researcher whose findings expose the harms of the gay lifestyle. Dr. Walter Schumm's July 2010 study in the Journal of Biosocial Science is cited as an example: his research found that children raised by gay parents were far more likely to identify as gay themselves—58% of children raised by lesbians and 33% raised by gay men, compared to only 3% of the general population. Despite the soundness of his work, Schumm was personally attacked and labeled a fraud and political plant, sending a warning to other researchers. A second example is Dr. Mark Regnerus's study, published in Social Science Research, which found that children raised by parents who had same-sex relationships were significantly disadvantaged compared to those raised by married biological mothers and fathers. His findings linked such upbringing to poor impulse control, depression, suicidal thoughts, need for mental health therapy, homosexual self-identification, cohabitation, infidelity, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual molestation, lower income, substance abuse, and smoking. Homosexual activists and academics falsely accused Regnerus of homophobia and demanded his dismissal, yet a rigorous university investigation vindicated his research as properly conducted and free of misconduct. These examples support the broader point that centuries of human experience affirm the biological, two-parent family as the environment God endorses for raising children. The militant homosexual lobby is portrayed as willing to sacrifice children's wellbeing in pursuit of political and social control over moral norms. This willingness to suppress truth and silence dissenting research is presented as evidence of the "perilous times" of the last days foretold by Paul in II Timothy 3:1-5, raising the question of what else such advocates might be willing to justify in service of their agenda.

Society's growing acceptance of homosexuality is a sign that Christ's return is near, because Jesus said the days before His coming will be like the days of Lot (Luke 17:28-30). Sodom's culture was marked by rampant homosexuality, and its men saw nothing evil in demanding sexual access to Lot's angelic visitors. Today the same attitude is spreading. Over the past decades, homosexuality has moved from being treated as a crime, illness, or perversion to being regarded as a normal, harmless orientation, like left-handedness or blue eyes. The Western world, descended from Israel, leads the change, and it is spreading globally through the fallout of AIDS, which forced governments to deal with homosexual organizations, through growing wealth and cosmopolitan attitudes, through the rise of democratic governments, and through the Internet. The most important item on the gay agenda is legal marriage, which would confer the appearance of normalcy. Some nations already grant partnership registration, and advocates argue that homosexuals could then become leaders and molders of society. God sees it differently. He calls homosexuality an abomination that requires repentance (Leviticus 18:22) and declares that homosexuals will not inherit His Kingdom (I Corinthians 6:9). Isaiah addresses His modern people as "rulers of Sodom" and "people of Gomorrah," warning that declaring sin openly as Sodom did brings evil and destruction on themselves (Isaiah 1:10; 3:8-9). At His return Christ will make God's Spirit available to all, teach homosexuals that they can repent and change, and purify the earth of perversion, so that the lifestyle is eradicated forever.

The word gay shows how language changes as culture changes. Along with queer, it has taken on a radically different meaning in the last few sexually focused decades. Language is not simply a vast collection of words but a reflection of the underlying culture, so as the culture degrades, the language degrades with it. Words fall out of use, new ones are coined, and existing ones are repurposed with different implications. The shift in gay is an obvious example of this. The word marriage is undergoing the same kind of alteration. Faithful Christians reject the new meaning, but if time goes on, a new generation will arise within a more profane reality, and the language will adapt through common usage. This is why people must now qualify the term with words like biblical and traditional. Against this drift stands the prophecy of Zephaniah 3:9, in which God will change the speech of the people to a pure language. That change will reflect a massive renovation of the dominant culture, and the pure language will describe a far better reality because it will include God.
