Why Are Americans Accepting The LGBT Culture?

 The radical changes in sexuality and sensual expression brought on by the sexual revolution gave rise to lax social moorings, wild erotic experimentations, and barefaced homosexual and lesbian behaviors in America. Though such behaviors were initially met with resistance and general rejection in America, such is not the case today. In an article entitled, A Survey of LGBT Americans, the Pew Research Social & Demographics Trends survey reports,

An overwhelming share of America’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults (92%) say society has become more accepting of them in the past decade and an equal number expect it to grow even more accepting in the decade ahead. They attribute the changes to a variety of factors, from people knowing and interacting with someone who is LGBT, to advocacy on their behalf by high-profile public figures, to LGBT adults raising families (June 2013).

In this new millennium (the last decade) key figures are crusading for the acceptance of homosexual behaviors/orientation as perfectly normal and even desirable. Same sex marriage (civil unions), the redefining of marriage, and political correctness are related hot social and political points of concern. As a result, any voice of dissension or objection is labeled homophobic, intolerant, hateful and bigoted. Legitimate expressions of First Amendment rights are being suppressed, vilified, and outright refused. Some pastors are quite shy about making statements that sound “judgmental” or “condemning” in relation to these LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) behaviors. They do not want to appear to be picking on this particular sin. In this instance though, the objectors and dissenters seem to be the true voices of reason.

Even the President of the USA, Barack Obama, generously endorses LGBT special rights, culture, and practices. Note what the Pew Research survey says,

When asked in an open-ended question to name the national public figures most responsible for advancing LGBT rights, President Barack Obama, who announced last year that he had changed his mind and supports gay marriage, tops the list along with comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who came out as a lesbian in 1997 and has been a leading advocate for the LGBT population ever since then. Some 23% of respondents named Obama and 18% named DeGeneres. (June 2013)

Homosexuals were among the Olympians who represented our country in the recent Winter Olympic in Sochi, Russia partly as a result of our president’s determination. Several celebrity television personalities openly flaunt their LGBT lifestyles, some

denominations are ordaining gay clergy members, and American society seems more receptive and respectful of the LGBT population.

No doubt, everyone recalls the recent firestorm in the media when Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson made anti-gay comments (based on the Bible) in a magazine interview. There was a time in our nation's recent history when his statements would not have even raised and eyebrow. Now days...his words are controversial and bigoted. To top it all off, the LGBT magazine The Advocate even considers Pope Francis as their 2013 Man of the Year. Presumably this is because of his rather compassionate comments related to civil unions. Of course the Catholic Church has endured multiplied scandals related to pedophilia and homosexual practices among their priests. Again the point I wish to emphasize is that everything is being done to create a gay positive atmosphere in America. I personally find this development alarming because Americans are being feed lies.

Endorsements through every modern media outlet coupled with supposed reliable scientific evidence is generating a broader appreciation for gay lifestyles. Be not deceived; this is a calculated and concerted efforts to pass off these strange and divergent behaviors as normal. The gay community can sense these changes in American society as well. Once again I quote from A Survey of LGBT Americans, the Pew Research Social & Demographics Trends survey reports,

For the most part LGBT adults are in broad agreement on which institutions they consider friendly to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Seven-in-ten describe the entertainment industry as friendly, 63% say the same about the Obama administration, and 57% view the Democratic Party as friendly. By contrast, just 4% say the same about the Republican Party (compared with 76% who say it is unfriendly); 8% about the military (47% unfriendly) and 4% about professional sports leagues (59% unfriendly). LGBT adults have mixed views about the news media, with 27% saying it is friendly, 56% neutral and 16% unfriendly (June, 2013).

Furthermore, these trends, political correctness, and the new positive climate have prompted some Evangelical churches and Christians to rethink their traditional position on homosexual practices. This is tragic because there is zero compelling evidence suggesting that our traditional stand against LGBT practices is wrong or misguided. This is not the time for Bible-Believing Christians to fold under the pressure of a growing popular trend. No, this is the time to stand firmly for what honors God, what is truly right for our country, and what is best for people who indulge in LGBT practices.
