Homosexual agenda

The homosexual agenda (sometimes gay agenda) is a homophobic conspiracy theory originally created by the Religious Right in the United States, which alleges that homosexuals are trying to infiltrate and corrupt all of our precious bodily fluids every facet of traditional American culture, most notably: family values. The primary purpose of this claim is to give the LGBT rights movement a shady and vicious (yet fictional) purpose (usually rooted in anti-Christianity, anti-Islam,Sometimes pro-Islam, when the fantasy is in the mind of a Christian fundamentalist (a group of people which tends to be Islamophobic), which only goes to show how delusional these ideas actually are. and/or pro-communist conspiracies) and to keep it dehumanized, because the faceless "agenda" is much easier to convince fence-sitters to stand against than the individuals seeking basic civil rights themselves.
Those who believe in the homosexual agenda often cite Michael Swift's satirical essay, "Gay Revolutionary," as evidence for their views. In doing so, they generally omit the first line, which reads:
"This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor."Michael Swift: "Gay Revolutionary", Fordham University 
Brokeback Mountain is also apparently a centerpiece of the agenda, being a clever propaganda piece by which Hollywood can brainwash unsuspecting red-blooded Americans into going along with the homosexual agenda!Homosexual agenda pushed in movies like Brokeback Mountain!
==Exposing their fabulous plot==
According to The Christian Post, the homosexual agenda consists of:Understanding the Homosexual Agenda, The Christian Post (Singapore edition)
To others, this might be known as "being treated like a human being" — the horror!
Use of this term may indicate paranoia, a persecution complex, and an obsession with everything gay.And once someone is shown to be obsessed with gay people, the wisecracks that they themselves are gay are inevitable.
==Stealing our rainbows!==
Everyone's favorite nutjob, Scott Lively, created a video trying to reclaim the rainbow as a Christian symbol, in a delightful little ditty, The Rainbow Belongs to God, which goes: "Who is the one that dares to defy God's covenant truth with lies?"That's not even the craziest part; see the full video here, please! Answer: The Gays™ and the gay agenda.
==In schools==
Some modern and fundamentalist conservative movements, particularly in America, believe that public schools are "indoctrinating" students to promote, convert to, or generally accept homosexuality as "normal".Traditional Values website regarding homosexuality.Oh no, our children are becoming tolerant! Oh, the agony! Oh, the horror! This view has become more prominent towards the end of the 20th century following the sexual revolution of the 1960s, after which homosexuals became more accepted by mainstream society. However, the evidence to support the claim that homosexuals are trying to convert students (let alone the existence of an ideological justification for doing so) is <S>scarce</S> non-existent. This idea is largely a result of the growing acceptance towards homosexuality by mainstream society, as well as schools teaching about homosexuality. However, the teaching about homosexuality has been interpreted by anti-LGBT groups as an attempt to convert and indoctrinate, rather than educate.
This idea has frequently been rehashed by notable right-wing politicians and lawmakers who claimed during 2022 that schools provided litter boxes in student bathrooms to accommodate those that identified as furries or non-humans to serve as both a political scapegoat and a slippery slope argument to justify their attacks on the rights of transgender people and the larger LGBT community.
While there has been a noticeable lack of teaching gayness in schools, there has been a statistical spike in scared, closeted LGBTQ kids committing suicide, to the point where former US President Barack Obama made a YouTube video about it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzcAR6yQhF8 Evangelicals responded by saying their kids were bullied first by the kid "being gay" at school.
==Homosexual recruitment==
Homosexual recruitment is the working title of a conspiratorial moral panic spun into existence by some rather creepy wingnuts.They are not gay themselves, for the record. It posits that there is a concerted effort by the gay population to place large numbers of gay teachers in schools. Then, drawing from their idea that homosexual tendencies are acquired in youth, it then goes on to claim that said gay teachers are trying to seduce children and turn them gay. Among proponents of the theory, homosexual recruitment is typically considered part (and likewise indicative) of a larger homosexual agenda. Various wingnuts have also found homosexual recruitment lurking in a number of other areas as well. Pat Robertson, for example, "discovered" that feminism is actually a front for turning women into lesbians.Did Pat Robertson Say Feminism Encourages Women to “Kill Their Children”? - Snopes (Along with socialists, pagans, and other sundry bogeymen.)
It also draws on pseudo-psychological quackery regarding pedophilia. This form of bullshit posits the notion that gay men are all pedophiles and molest little boys. They allegedly practice this molestation because they know that such abuse will turn the children gay later in life; thus, the gay man "recruits" because he cannot reproduce.Statistically, the overwhelming majority of child sexual abuse cases involve heterosexual abuse by adult men of little girls. An exception is the priest molestation scandal, where the vast majority of cases are priest on boy. What makes the RC priests so gay? For this reason, fundamentalist wingnuts often support quack psychotherapies such as repressed or recovered memory therapy to find "proof" of child sexual abuse in gay people, and reparative therapy to "cure the gay".
This panic led to the in 1978, a proposition to ban not only gays, but also anyone who supported gay rights, from working in California public schools. However, even Ronald Reagan went against this measure,Reagan, Ronald (1978-11-01). "Editorial: Two Ill-advised California Trends". Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. p. A19. and it was defeated at the polls. Britain's infamous law was also passed into law, partly out of fear of gay "recruitment".Section 28 to be repealed, BBC News
In 2013, the Russian government unanimously passed a law banning promotion of "homosexual behaviour among minors", which was met with protests in Russia and abroad. Proponents of this law try to claim that it is a complete coincidence that its passage was accompanied by a large spike in violence against Russia's LGBT population.
An earlier iteration of this conspiracy theory was referred to as "Homintern," a play on the Soviet Comintern. This theory posited that gays controlled the arts and media and used them for the purposes of propagandizing and recruitment.The Homintern, New York Times More recently, the term "Sexual Bolshevism" has been preferred by Metapedians (probably because "Homintern" was too subtle), although this phrase has its history in Weimar Germany (because of course it does).
==Making our games gay==
In 2022, a troll by the name of Mike Hawk uploaded a mod for the Windows release of replacing the rainbow flag with the flag of the United States,‘Spider-Man’ modification scene turns into Pride flag battlefieldMod site deletes anti-Pride mod for Spider-Man, encourages angry users to delete their accounts along with the description "changes the stupid pride flags with american flags" in an apparent effort to sow controversy over the perceived gay agenda by the game's creators. The mod was taken down soon after, but not without outcry from some users who were butthurt by the ban; Nexus later stated "we are for inclusivity, we are for diversity. If we think someone is uploading a mod on our site with the intent to deliberately be against inclusivity and/or diversity then we will take action against it," also frankly advising users who disagreed with the ban to "move on". A similar announcement was also made by ModDB when a Twitter user informed the site that the flag modification was also mirrored on ModDB, which the site's moderators promptly removed.Spider-Man Remastered: Anti-LGBTQ controversy explained
The mod's removal did not keep edgelords and possible sockpuppets of the previously-banned troll from uploading similarly questionable if not outright inflammatory content on the site, however, as shitpost mods such as the so-called "Extra Progressive Pride Mod" was submitted by a presumed Mike Hawk sockpuppet (or a copycat account) which juxtaposes both the gay and transgender flag colours with the Nazi swastika, only for it to be deleted not long after for obvious reasons (along with a thinly-veiled mirror thereof by another trollThey Live New York (archived)), as well as the Joe Rogan Podcast t-shirt texture mod which edits the Empire State University shirt into a sardonic design of Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow kissing each other and "THE JOE ROGAN PODCAST" scrawled on the shirt, likely as a veiled reference to Rogan's homophobic views in an effort to dodge censorship by the site's moderators.Joe Rogan Podcast T-Shirt (archive)
