The diabolical aspect of the underbelly of gay culture.

I have no proof for this assertion, except anecdotal testimony and that which is debased (and flaunted) in homosexual sexual practice and literature or media.

I bring this up because of the preceding post on the upcoming Folsom St. Fair, taking place this week in San Francisco.  A reader sent me an email because the photo I posted of two shirtless gay men in harnesses was too provocative for him, and he said he couldn’t visit my site because of it.  I took the photo down, not realizing how strong temptation can be to anyone struggling with sexual issues.

Fetishism

Fetishes are often used in pagan ritual and they are useful in deviant sexual practices as well, as pornography often illustrates.  The leather scene in gay culture is replete with sexual fetishes, otherwise known as role-play costumes and sex toys.  (Heterosexuals use fetishes too.)  The photo I posted of two male bare-backs sporting harnesses reminded me that many of the costumes gay people don to express their sexuality have an element of fetishism about them.  Which may be one reason why this man was aroused by the image.

Without doubt there has long been a cult aspect to the homosexual lifestyle; special terminology, symbolic dress and fetishism, sexual practices that include group sex or orgies that sometimes  appear to have a parallel with ancient pagan cult worship.  (Think bath-houses.)  I know- it sounds crazy - AND I know every “out” gay person does not engage in these practices.  (Don’t ask them about the pornography they view.)  Although anyone who supports GLBT issues, by association and implication, ultimately supports the rest.  (Yes Christian parents who support GLBT issues of your  gay children, you do.)

Idolatry.

“Put to death whatever in your nature is rooted in earth; forncation, uncleanness, passion, evil desires, and that lust which is idolatry.” - Colossians 3:5.  Curiously, the current translation used for the liturgy  reads, “that lust which is greed” - how did they come by that?

The element  of idolatry in homosexual culture is obvious.  For instance, the glorification and objectification of the male physique and genatalia is paramount in gay culture.  (Likewise, in contemporary culture in general, this idolatry of the  body is pervasive.)  Most homosexual publications exploit the sexualized male anatomy, as does homo-erotic art.  It is right there - in your face.

Exegetical lies.

Christian homosexuals  insist that St. Paul and Old Testament prohibitions against homosexual sex were really condemnations of pagan sexual practices involving idolatry and male temple prostitutes.  In claiming this, they insist that Paul would have been more tolerant of non-cultic homosexual relationships.  I think that is a huge leap.  Huge! 

I think many people are genuinely naive to the absolute pagan dimension in the homosexual movement within our culture and Church.  I doubt very much people understand the worldwide diabolic delusion that contemporary civilization is experiencing.

“Resist, solid in your faith”. - 1 Peter 5:9 

Anyone strugglng with same-sex temptation, along with all Christians who struggle against evil in their lives, must realize that the  struggle is a very serious spiritual combat.  In Ephesians, St. Paul exhorts us:

“Our battle is not against human forces but against the principalities and powers, the rulers of this world of darkness, the evil spirits in regions above.” - Ephesians 6:12

If I am wrong and there is not a pagan or diabolic dimension to gay culture, one surely cannot deny how deeply sexualized gay culture is, and how the fetishism involved in that culture affects those coming out of the lifestyle.

The sin of Sodom.

Suddenly in the later half of the 20th century, according to a few Biblical exegetes, we have realized that the sin of Sodom was actually inhospitality.  This is contrary to over a millenia of Judeo-Christian tradition of course.  In answer to this modern interpretation, a  local priest once said that he would certainly consider being sodomized as an inhospitable act.

Sodom and Gomorrah

Los Angeles and San Francisco continue to emulate the ancient Cities of the Plain - or at least the inner city neighborhoods of West Hollywood and the Castro fill that bill.  (Although Folsom St. is not part of the Castro.)  On September 30 in San Francisco the annual leather event called the Folsom Street fair will take place.  It is already being advertised with a mock photo depicting the Last Supper, with leather queens portraying the disciples and Christ, along with sex-toys spread about on the table.  It doesn’t take a genius to recognize this as sacrilege and blasphemy, as well as a direct attack upon Christianity.

“The bread and wine representing Christ’s broken body and lifegiving blood are replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys in this twisted version of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper,” CWA said on its Web site.“‘Gay’ activists disingenuously call Christians ‘haters’ and ‘homophobes’ for honoring the Bible, but then lash out in this hateful manner toward the very people they accuse,” said said Matt Barber, CWA’s policy director for cultural issues. - CNSNews.com

Morality in the toilet.

The Folsom Street debauchery is a spectacle which provides no convincing power whatsoever that homosexual sex is anything but immoral and degrading.  Gay activists can say whatever they want, proclaim their Christian faith that same-sex relationships are good, that most gay people live clean, moral lives, yet this celebration along with many other gay pride events really contradicts all of their propaganda.

“The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair,” said Matt Barber, Policy Director for Cultural Issues with Concerned Women for America (CWA).  “Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public ‘gay’ sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows ‘gay’ men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex - even group orgies - in broad daylight, while taxpayer funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing.” - LifeSiteNews

“Stop lying to one another.”- St. Paul, Colossians 3

Gay activists who claim that the gay lifestyle is clean and wholesome ought to make their voices heard  loud and very clear that they will not tolerate this crap in their culture.  Of course, if they do speak out it probably would not have much effect.   I’m fairly certain active homosexuals who are religious remain in the minority, while most homosexuals seem to have no time for religion, much less traditional morality.

If you are a Catholic reading this and you have actively gay friends, I suggest you tell them in no uncertain terms that you object to this type of indecent behavior.  I replaced the top photo with Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights”.  My apologies for posting a photo that may have been an occasion of sin to others struggling with same-sex temptation.  I offered my hours at adoration today for all those with same-sex attraction issues.
