Male homosexuality, like any sexuality that falls outside of the natural order as created by God, is bad<\/a>.\u00a0 Dangerous.\u00a0 It does harm on the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual levels.\u00a0 As the Dying West has fought to make the sexual revolution mainstream, the costs in death, suffering, and expenses to both individuals and society have been beyond our ancestor\u2019s worst nightmares.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we hear none of this from the organs of propaganda that would rather saw off an arm than admit there might be chinks in the post-heterosexual armor. But a bigger problem is those in that branch of Christian orthodoxy who clearly see the problem, but in the name of pulling a St. Saruman* with the rising power of the secular Left, have come to regard the horror and suffering brought about by the Left\u2019s main selling point as something with which we sadly, but respectfully, can agree to disagree. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, but given the unimaginable cost in decaying civilizations, broken hearts, minds and spirits, and millions of rotting carcasses that float in the wake of this disastrous upheaval of\u00a0God\u2019s creation, I don\u2019t think you can be genuinely pro-life unless you attack this with the same zeal and passion you would slavery or genocide or, dare I say,\u00a0gun control.<\/p>\n
