Authors Alan Sears and Craig Osten expose the goals of the homosexual movement and its rising legal activism. The homosexual agenda has as its primary aim to "trump" the rights of all other groups, especially those of people of faith. The saddest part of the story is that it is working.

As you read the reviews of the people against this book, be sure to peruse their other books they've read and reviewed.
It puts the viewpoints in very clear perspective.
Most who are against Christianity and the Bible, have a nice long list of
occult-based books.
Just be aware, when you look at the star ratings, and know who is doing the complaining.

"If you ever plan a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, here is one word of advice: don' t go the first weekend in June. Why? That weekend is the annual Gay Days in the land of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy." (pg.178)
If you agree with Alan Sears and Craig Osten, authors of The Homosexual Agenda, a trip like that isn't anything you should go on. Why? Because then you'd be supporting a homosexual happening. And by doing so you're inadvertently supporting the homosexual agenda, which in turn is a violation of the word of God.
Wait... the what agenda? The homosexual?
Hot damn; I didn't know those guys (and dolls) even had an agenda to begin with. But I guess they do. Or, at least that's what some people believe. Hardcore Christian people, that is.
And what's the threat? Well, the idea that good Christians aren't allowed to say what they really think about homosexuality and same-sex marriage; spreading the word of the Gospel and using the Bible to condemn people who love each other but happen to be of the same gender.
In other words; if you're a dude who loves/has sex with another dude or a dudette who loves/has sex with another dudette, then you're both in big, big trouble.
Because this kind of love and/or sex is, after all, extremely un-Christian (remember, the Bible does say that homosexuality is "detestable"): love between two human beings is supposed to be between a man and a woman, and nothing else. Love, sex, and marriage are all sacred matters that should not and must not be tainted by neither fags nor dykes. And especially the latter of these matters, with all the just and honorable things associated with this unique human practice, will most definitely be a thing of the past if the homosexual agenda keeps on rolling unhindered.
This agenda, this attempt by the homosexual community to suppress everything the U.S. (supposedly) was built upon, along with the clean, wholesome way of life as dictated by the Bible, must thus be battled at all costs. However, time and again faithful Christians find out that they cannot - legally speaking - raise their voices and protest in accordance with their Christian beliefs.
Because if they do so they run the risk of being labeled homophobic, of using hate speech, and of being intolerant, narrow-minded, hostile human beings. So, the homosexual agenda is truly, just like the subtitle of the book says, nothing but a threat to religious freedom in the U.S. According to the authors and their fellow Christians: if non-believers have the right to criticize Christians and their values and worldviews, then why shouldn't Christians themselves have the right to a) defend what they believe in, and b) live their lives according to what their holy book says? After all, the homosexuals use and get away with both freedom of expression and freedom of religion, so why shouldn't the Christians be able to do so as well?
True, that's a valid argument; since a free society means freedom for everyone and not only a selected few. Or at least it's somehow valid... The dilemma isn't quite as simple as the authors portray it. Somehow they are able to bluntly state how they (i.e. believers in the Christian religion) should be granted all the rights and freedoms they desire regardless of their particular beliefs and worldviews, while the others (i.e. the homosexuals) most definitely should not.
One must give the authors credit on one thing, though: each and every chapter has a colossal amount of notes. For instance, one of the chapters is 33 pages long and has more than one hundred notes, and thus they've put some serious effort into their writings. Still, they never really offer any sound arguments except that this and that is not what God would want his human sheep to do. In other words, unless you're a devout Christian there's really no reason to agree with them.
But while they lack arguing skills they're quite skilled in gay-bashing. It doesn't matter that the book begins with a note from the authors where they explain how they "have nothing but respect, compassion and sensitivity towards those ensnared in homosexual behavior." (pg.viii) Perhaps it's unintentional; but then again, their constant use of quotation marks (i.e. same-sex "marriage", a homosexual "partner", and their "right" to marry or file for "divorce" after having "separated").
Furthermore, they imply that every single homosexual person in the world, when it comes down to it, really don't want to be gay, because theirs is "a life based on rampant sex and despair" (pg.43) and constitutes a "dangerous behavior" (pg.72). And also, "the increasing exposure to and 'tolerance' of homosexual behavior leads to the normalization and acceptance of other disordered sexual behaviors" (pg.204) and any "man or woman lost in the trap of homosexual behavior and relationships will never be able to hear and respond to Christ's redemptive love for him or her." (pg.223)
But there's more. Homosexual love just isn't real love, apparently, and the fight for two people with the same gender to marry and adopt children is all a big hoax, since even though gay people "will not admit it, children are just pawns to be used as they strive for total acceptance of their behavior" (pg.99), and "the well-being of the child is denied, while the desires of the adults are exalted." (pg.123) So, homosexuals getting married is completely out of the question:
"Close relatives often love each other but cannot marry. One who is married may love a third party more than one's spouse, but one cannot marry the third party. Children can love but cannot marry. Many people love pets, but they cannot marry them. Hence, homosexual love is not the only love ineligible for marriage. Indeed, many forms of sexual love, such as pederasty, adultery, bestiality, and incest, are criminal even in states that permit homosexual acts." (pg.124)
Why, you say? Well, simply because "after all, if two men or two women have the right to be married, why not two men and three women, or two men, one woman, and a dog and a chimpanzee?" (pg.100)
Hmm... Well, that's one way to look at it, I guess.
So in the end; even though the authors try their best to emphasize how they don't have anything against gay people per se (due to their Christian belief that they're all delusional yet still can find salvation in the Lord), throughout the entire book the general attitude towards homosexuals is, while not outright hostile, then at least condescending. Sometimes it borders on the absurd, and for the sake of humanity I hope the conservative Christians never become the leaders of this world. Still, one must give Sears and Osten credit for their efforts. They're devoted, to say the least.
It's funny - and interesting - how some Christians themselves are "discriminated" against from time to time, and how they feel it's the greatest outrage the world has ever seen. But when they themselves discriminate they regard it as their moral obligation.
I'm really glad I'm an atheist...

In their book Mr. Sears and Mr. Osten make the claim that they are not engaging in "gay bashing, however their book starts with the statement: "How far down the road have homosexual activists taken us toward their goal of unbridled sexual behavior and silencing of the church?" (p. 14) showing the intellectual dishonesty of their claim about bashing. The dishonesty continues thought much of this book, facts are `recreated' to suit the author's agenda, quotes are cherry picked, writers and researchers are misrepresented, all to fulfill the desire of some people to justify personal prejudice.
Mr. Sears and Mr. Osten blatantly lie when they speak of "recruitment" in the schools. They claim that the school system has become a `recruiting' ground for homosexuals, and shows how gay propaganda courses are finding their way into the nation's schools.
Mr. Sears and Mr. Osten write about Homosexual adoption declaring that this has been fostered by "sloppy, poorly-documented studies that helped it gain acceptance". What is fascinating is that despite claims that hundreds of these studies were sloppy and poorly documented they still managed to be published in peer reviewed journals. It is also fascinating to note that studies showing what the authors desperately wish to be true have not been published in legitimate journals and many have been shown to contain false and fabricated data.
The authors try to persuade readers that somehow the fight for equal rights for gays and lesbians is not about equal rights but about the desire of homosexuals (en mass) to destroy Christianity and the American family and the "wholesale destruction of marriage." I am not sure how anyone can take such paranoia as anything but delusions on the part of the authors.

Protocols of the Learned Elders of Sodom: Undisguised Hate-Mongering
This book is so badly written, so flawed in its conception and so 'cartoonish' in its understanding of human biology, psychology, sociology, child development and family dynamics that one wonders why one ever took the time to read it, having gleaned a pretty thorough idea of where it was going within its first few pages. Apart from providing spiritual nourishment for homophobics, it is chiefly of use in lining the bird cage. One can think of no other reason for this work to exist.
Truly this volume is so without any sense or organization at all, that even were the reviewer a right-wing, evangelical, gay-baiting, straight Christian (and he is none of those things, incidentally) he would be embarrassed by this drivel.
To those who believe that there exists such a thing as a "gay agenda," one could advise them to save their money on this pathetic screed and perhaps buy some virulently homophobic Jack Chick comics instead.
They at least have colored pictures.
