One of the most revealing articles ever written about the objectives of the gay rights movement comes from Guide, a homosexual magazine. The article, “The Overhauling of Straight - America” (November 1987), goes into considerable detail about how gays will conquer straight America through a combination of propaganda and vilification. The authors, Marshall Kirk and Erastes Pill, outline several strategies designed to weaken family-oriented America. Among them are: 1. Desensitization. “To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion.” The authors say it’s imperative that gays talk about their gayness as much as possible on TV and radio until people become indifferent to homosexuality. Straights will eventually be desensitized to the point that homosexuality will be viewed as just any other lifestyle. The use of the term “lifestyle” itself lulls the moral sensibilities to include them along side other normal lifestyles. 2. Portray gays as victims, not as aggressive challengers. “In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector.” 3. Give the protectors a just cause. "Our campaign should not demand direct support for homosexual practices, but should instead make anti-discrimination as its theme.” 4. Make the victimizers look bad. “To be blunt—they must be vilified. . . . The public should be shown images of ranting homophobes whose secondary traits disgust middle America. These images might include the Ku Klux Klan demanding that gays be burned alive or castrated. . . ." The article goes on to describe a media campaign to promote homosexuality and to defeat the straight world. Marshall Kirk has since expanded this article into a book: “After the Ball,” which is a tactical manual on how to seize power.
