Click here to view the video of the San Fransisco Gay Men's Chorus singing that they're "coming for your children" to convert their worldview. (UPDATE: Within the time it took me to write this post, the choir has taken the video from public to private. When I first wrote this blog, the public could still watch the video. My apologies. Click the next link to see some of the lyrics of the song. You might be able to find the video somewhere online if you look hard enough. Just google the title and the choir name.)
Click here for an article which includes some of the lyrics, if the lyrics are difficult to understand in the video.
It is a horrifying way to try and get a point across.
While any effort to stamp out "hate" should be applauded, neither this group nor most progressives define "hate" the same way that true Christians do. To the progressives, "hate" means "disagree." To Christians, hate means to mistreat, famously prohibited by Jesus in Matt. 7:12: Treat others how you'd want to be treated. Contrary to popular opinion, we can disagree without mistreating. But groups like want absolute acceptance in every sense: It isn't about "rights," but a conversion of morality. A revolution.
Based on their mis-definition of "hate", the group linked above has put out a horrifying propaganda song entitled "We're coming for your children." You read that right. Even if I could support the agenda - and no Christian can, I don't care what textual origami you try to do to make homosexuality agreeable with Scripture - I can't imagine ever trying to advance the agenda with a song title like this.
Thereby, they not only jettison the possibility of getting a hearing with many, but they further prove my suspicions that neither wokeness nor the gay agenda are innocent pursuits of "justice." Both are power-hungry pursuits of an anti-God revolution driven by a marxist worldview where the "conversation" is controlled by maoist rules for dialogue: You can't participate in a discussion unless you agree.
Doubtless, many will respond, "You're misunderstanding what they're saying. They're saying they'll turn your kids from hateful like you to friendly like them." Really? A friend would not tell a stranger, "We will convert your children, just wait."
At least we know what they really want. And countless once-sane people will sympathize because they don't want to be regarded as bigoted, homophobic, or racist. Guilt - not thinking - will win the day, again.
You might respond, "Pastor, what difference is there between this and what churches try to do in reaching and catechizing children?" Churches base their message off of revealed truth from the one who has proven throughout history that he is the Creator and sustainer of all things (Ac. 17:25). Churches attempt to convert people to the truth. A group like this bases their message off of internal feelings acted upon and affirmed by a fickle public opinion that constantly changes. You decide.
And if you want to see just how friendly this agenda is, just look up the story of pastor Chuck McIlhenny, possibly reading his book When the Wicked Seize a City.
