2.1 Exposing the falsehood of "born gay" is the only path to victory

Although gay power appears to be a powerful monolith, it is strikingly fragile because it is built on a lie. The lie is “There’s an organic basis for homosexuality. I was born this way. My sexual orientation is fixed.” If the lie can be countered effectively, gay power will crash.

Before you dismiss this approach remember that one definition of “insanity” is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” If we could not defeat the gay agenda ten years ago when our supporters were stronger and opponents weaker is there any reason to believe it can be defeated now unless we do something different? It is imperative that we redirect our efforts.

2.2 What if people stopped believing ""born gay"?"

What would happen if you woke up tomorrow and suddenly discovered a new consensus that sexual orientation is not organically determined but is caused exclusively by a person’s environment and choices? Rather than viewing homosexuals as victims of their circumstances needing as much protection and support as other oppressed minority groups, society would do a complete about-face and ponder, ""Why are we passing laws that encourage homosexuality"?"

What happens if only some people are converted to believing that gays aren’t born that way? Gays are winning because they have built up such a pattern of recent victories that the next expected victory causes people to support them. If enough people begin seriously to question whether their victory is inevitable, particularly if they understand that gay power is founded on a lie, many will jump off the gay bandwagon and the momentum will reverse. Even a comparatively small shift in public opinion on "born gay" would have an enormous impact on gay influence.
