The LGBT movement began forming in the later half of the 20th century and has been funded by billionaire organizations, such as the Arcus Foundation, Open Society Foundations, and others (google “who funds lgbt”). It is now highlighted in media, academia, and (meta)politics. It began as a movement that advocated for the acceptance of homosexual behavior, most often using the red herring fallacy in which the concept of “love” is presented to the audience in order to overshadow the homosexual behavior itself, which is, in actuality, separate from the concept of love as we know it.
The LGBT movement quickly gained traction and started to advocate for more and more rights, such as homosexual marriage, homosexual adoption, the inclusion of transgender people in the movement, and, finally, the glorification of homosexuality with the promotion of pride. Having homosexuality be allowed to exist was no longer enough. It was necessary to include it in movies, advertisements, and schools. It is necessary that children question their sexuality and gender identity and decide “who they are” for themselves, suggesting that sexual orientation, behavior, and gender identity are innate biological conditions, rather than learned behaviors, despite the lack of evidence to support the assumption. I will address each topic separately.
LGBT pride: This concept raises the question, why is belonging to this group something to be proud of? Pride exacts merit, achievement, but why would someone be proud of in the state of being without merit, or worse, proud of engaging in deviant primal hedonistic activities that serve no other purpose than a dopamine rush? Should we be proud of eating and sleeping? Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is strongly associated with pleasure and reward. Sex is, as designed by nature, a means to an end—procreation—and without accomplishing this end, the reward is then unearned. In other words, rewarding the brain before accomplishing goals will decrease the motivation to accomplish them. It is self-deception. Furthermore, if being part of this group is something to be proud of, should then everyone strive to become part of it?
Marriage and adoption: Again, this raises the question, what is marriage? Historically, marriage was the social recognized union between a man and a woman, that would grant them permission to have children and start a family. However, it can now be the union between a man and a man, or the union between a woman and a woman, both incapable of reproducing on their own. The argument of those that advocate for homosexual marriage is usually that two people of the same sex “loving” each other is no different than two people of the opposite sex “loving” each other, and/or that two people of the same sex are just as capable of raising a child as two people of the opposite sex. However, this extension of the concept of marriage creates a logical loophole. Why can polygamic marriages not be allowed, for instance? And how many homosexual marriages actually result in the upbringing of children? What significance does a sterile marriage have to the community in order to be worthy of social recognition? Why should society concern itself with the private affairs of two people that bring no value to their community?
Furthermore, it is estimated that, in the US, somewhere between one and two million couples are waiting to adopt[1]. This data suggests that, even if homosexual couples want to adopt, they may not be able to do so. The effects of being raised with homosexual parents as opposed to heterosexual parents are also still a mystery, but studies suggest that there are a number of problems resulting from it[2].
Transgenderism: Although generally placed under the same umbrella as LGB, transgenderism is not about sexual orientation, but rather about gender identity. It is worth noting that the term “gender” was introduced shortly after WW2[3], as a means to distinguish between the biological sex and “gender role”. The number of adolescents seeking treatment at gender identity services in Western countries has been increasing, and for around 80% of children who experience gender dysphoria, the condition recedes or disappears with puberty[4]. Medical treatments include hormone replacement therapy, sex reassignment surgery, and psychotherapy[5]. 82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth[6]. As such, this condition is not desirable for anyone.
"Born this way": Genetics can explain between 8% and 25% of non-heterosexual behavior, the rest is explained by environmental influences, which could range from hormone exposure in the womb to social influences later in life[7]. Twin studies suggest that there are likely genetic causes of transsexuality, although the precise genes involved are not fully understood. One study published in the International Journal of Transgender Health found that 20% of identical twin pairs in which at least one twin was trans were both trans, compared to only 2.6% of non-identical twins who were raised in the same family at the same time[5]. No study exists that confirms that homosexuality or transsexuality are innate biological conditions and are not environmental influenced.
"Love is love": What is love? As per the Oxford English Dictionary, love is defined as: "a very strong feeling of liking and caring for somebody/something, especially a member of your family or a friend". However, this concept has been somehow linked to the LGBT movement, given an ambiguous definition that has become subjective, in order to justify tendencies, behaviors, and laws that are completely unrelated to this concept. Love is unrelated to sexual orientation, sexual behavior, marriage, adoption, and transsexuality.
"Be who you are", "Follow your heart": What the mantra means in common usage can be summed up this way: "I am perfect just as I am and everyone should accept me because I am myself". A cheating husband is listening to his heart. An obnoxious, gossiping bully is being himself. We were born wired to have certain temperaments, thoughts, beliefs, attractions, innate revilements, etc. Nobody is disputing this. However, the purpose or intent in question regarding this mantra is to undermine any willingness to depart from a certain path that is exhibited toward the viewer. The lifestyle depicted is something that they are not willing to alter or change because it has become a staple part of their personality, so highly above all else. A man who accepts himself will never improve because improvement requires us to look at ourselves critically. It requires us not to love our flaws — as the motivational marketing campaigns instruct us to do — but to wage an all-out war against them. The first step in improvement is learning to truly detest the detestable things about yourself. To become a better self we cannot be satisfied with ourselves. The Earth is filled with people who have followed their hearts over a cliff. Shattered lives, broken homes, ruined marriages — these are the fruits of following your heart. Anyone who suggests that "your heart" will always lead you in the right direction obviously has never noticed the entire history of humanity. Humans are corrupt, weak, and selfish.
Imposed identity: Another problem with the LGBT movement is that, ironically, it harms homosexual and transsexual people themselves. By placing these individuals inside an ideological box, they are denied a right to their own individuality, ideas, and beliefs. There are homosexual people who disagree with same-sex marriage. There are homosexual people who disagree with gender ideology. There are transsexuals who disagree with pride. However, by placing these individuals in a box, they are almost compelled to accept the fads of the bandwagon. If a person is homosexual, society will immediately label that person as LGBTQ+, no matter if that person supports the movement or not.
LGBT propaganda: As per US statistics, 0.8% of traditionalists (those born before 1946) identify as LGBTQ, 2.6% of baby boomers identify as LGBTQ, and 4.6% of Generation X adults identify as LGBTQ. Furthermore, this number has held relatively steady for these groups, despite of the increasing tolerance. However, 20.8% of generation Z adults identify as LGBTQ, and this number doubled from 2017 to 2021[8]. One could be led to believe that this is due to a substantial increase in tolerance to the “innate nature” of these individuals, despite the lack of scientific evidence supporting a sole biological cause and the startling high percentage of young adults identifying as LGBTQ. However, children as young as 3 are now being exposed to LGBT content, with Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) events happening internationally at libraries, schools, bookstores, and museums[9]. Clearly, it is being hastily assumed (or intentionally ignored) that environment and education play no role in the development of a child’s sexual orientation, behavior, and gender identity, when this is far from being a well established fact, and could (and likely is) be causing irreparable damage to the new generations.
