Matt Barber speaking at the Symposium “Homosexual Rights and First Amendment Freedoms: Can They Truly Coexist?” (Video)

This is less than ten minutes of Matt Barber’s speech, made at the Liberty University School of Law Symposium yesterday. It appears as though at least some of the content is written and available on the web here at CWA in his article “Unmasking the Gay Agenda”. He predicts that activists will hastily respond to this symposium-and follow Kirk and Madsen’s playbook and do more “jamming”. (Because the homosexual lobby is completely intolerant of religion, religious views, etc.-and have succeeded in making that intolerance a precedence in modern day law.)

Jamming

“Jamming” refers to the public smearing of Christians, traditionalists or anyone else who opposes the “gay” agenda.” ” Jam homo-hatred (i.e., disagreement with homosexual behaviors) by linking it to Nazi horror,” wrote Kirk and Madsen. “Associate all who oppose homosexuality with images of “Klansmen demanding that gays be slaughtered,” “hysterical backwoods preachers,” “menacing punks,” and a “tour of Nazi concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed.”

“In any campaign to win over the public, gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector … The purpose of victim imagery is to make straights feel very uncomfortable,” they suggested.

But, perhaps Kirk and Madsen’s most revealing admission came when they said, “[O]ur effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof.”

And so words like “homophobe” and “heterosexism” were pulled from thin air, not because they had substance, but because they were effective jamming tools. Anyone who holds traditional values relative to human sexuality suddenly became a “homophobe,” a “hatemonger,” a “bigot.”

Not even churches are safe.

“Gays can undermine the moral authority of homo-hating churches over less fervent adherents by portraying [them] as antiquated backwaters, badly out of step” with the latest findings of psychology. Against the atavistic tug of “Old Time Religion” one must set the mightier pull of science and public opinion. “Such an “unholy” alliance has already worked well in America against the churches, on such topics as divorce and abortion. [T]hat alliance can work for gays.”

And, oh, how it has.
