Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the legalisation of sodomy. Consequently, the BBC will be unwatchable and unlistenable for a week at least.<\/p>\n

Especially today, all BBC channels will be awash with ‘Gay Britania’. \u00a0It is exactly fifty years since the enactment of the Sexual Offences Act 1967.<\/p>\n

BBC reflecting the Establishment<\/h2>\n

One can argue the BBC is simply reflecting the Establishment. \u00a0It is impossible to be a candidate for Labour, the LibDems or the Tories without being a ‘Diversity’ wonk. \u00a0Plaid Cymru, SNP and Sinn Fein are almost as bad. \u00a0And anyone Christian or just pro-family in\u00a0government needs to keep his views to himself.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in the broadcast media, Sky, ITV and Channel 4 news will no doubt be promoting what they will see as a joyous day. \u00a0It is always interesting to discern between what is news and what is the advancement of the Establishment agenda. \u00a0This author reckons BBC ‘news’ is usually 50% propaganda.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, TV viewers have a choice. \u00a0RT (Freeview 135) ought to be free of homosexual promotion while Yesterday (19) and TBN (65) should be gay-free zones.<\/p>\n

Never satisfied<\/h2>\n

The homosexual mindset is never satisfied. \u00a0Neither with life as a whole, nor with sexual expression, nor indeed with political gains. \u00a0It was never enough just to be left alone to do whatever they were going to do in private. \u00a0As it happens, we all now know rather more than we ever wanted to about what homosexuals do in private. \u00a0That is largely owing to the\u00a0AIDS crisis, forcing gay charities like Terrence Higgins Trust to list homosexual activities in order of health risk.<\/p>\n

So in 2004 Tony Blair enacted Civil Partnerships. \u00a0The BBC celebrating that event with footage of happy couples. \u00a0Nevertheless, civil partnerships were not good enough. \u00a0Equally, gay politics had moved out of its Labour redoubt. \u00a0Therefore, a Conservative Party Prime Minister, David Cameron, inflicted same-sex ‘marriage’ on\u00a0the nation in 2013. \u00a0More celebratory BBC footage, this time of gays getting gay-married.<\/p>\n

And now the elite are moving on again. \u00a0 They want to allow anyone, for any reason or none, to change his gender at will. \u00a0The Government have announced a new ‘Gender Recognition Bill’ for the autumn. \u00a0Our story on that is here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Homosexuality … universally condemned<\/h2>\n
\"The<\/a>
The Earl of Arran (by Alan Clifton, for Camera Press, circa 1967)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How did it come to this? \u00a0Was such a degradation of society in the minds of those who framed the Sexual Offences Act? \u00a0Not at all. \u00a0The 1967 Act was ‘permissive’ legislation. \u00a0That does not mean it was part of the ‘permissive society’, although of course it was. \u00a0It means it permitted something still illegal to happen in certain circumstances. \u00a0The Abortion Act of the same year is another example of ‘permissive’ legislation.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0the Sexual Offences Act allowed acts of sodomy and gross indecency to take place in England and Wales between two consenting adults (aged 21 or over) in private. \u00a0It was a Private Member’s Bill, brought in by Leo Abse MP, at the instigation of\u00a0Antony Grey of the Albany Trust and the Homosexual Law Reform Society.<\/p>\n

In the debates on the 1967 Sexual Offences Bill, MPs and Peers made clear Parliament was refusing to do anything more than permit homosexual acts in certain circumstances. This was emphasised again and again by, for example, Lord Arran, who said:<\/p>\n

‘In all the discussions we have had, and in all the speeches, no single noble Lord or noble Lady has ever said that homosexuality is right or a good thing. It has been universally condemned from start to finish, and by every single member of the House.’<\/p>\n

First Gay Pride March in 1972<\/h2>\n

Strangely enough, under a Christian legal system, there would be no need for the Sexual Offences Act. \u00a0The Bible requires at least two witnesses before a court can convict anyone of a crime:<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If two men were doing something indecent in private there would be no witnesses. \u00a0Accordingly, there could be no prosecution.<\/p>\n

\"Peter<\/a>
Peter Tatchell, seen here in the 2003 London ‘gay pride’ parade demonstrating against Robert Mugabe, took part in the first homosexual protest march in 1972.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But the sentiments of their Lordships, no doubt well-intended, were to fall on deaf ears. \u00a0Homosexuality would not now stay private. \u00a0Activists held the first ever gay pride march in London five years later in 1972. \u00a0Veteran campaigner Peter Tatchell was on it. \u00a0He gives a valuable Gay Liberation Front insider’s view here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Eschew ostentatious behaviour and flaunting<\/h2>\n

In a later House of Lords debate, one Lord Henderson slightly misquoted the Earl of Arran. \u00a0In 1967, said Henderson, Lord Arran ‘asked the homosexual people of the future to comport themselves quietly and with dignity and to eschew any form of ostentatious behaviour or public flouting.’ \u00a0Lord Arran actually used the word ‘flaunting.’ \u00a0He said any evidence of it would ‘make the sponsors of this Bill regret that they have done what they have done.’<\/p>\n

One homosexual activist, John Marshall, summed up the arguments of the Bill’s supporters like this:<\/p>\n

‘The protection afforded by the Sexual Offences Bill, particularly for young people, was stressed repeatedly; \u00a0homosexuality was a lesser evil than the blackmail which its prohibition encouraged; relaxing the law would make it easier for homosexuals who wished to be free of their practices to seek help from the caring ministries.’<\/p>\n

The Sexual Offences Act 1967 was extended to Scotland in 1980 and to Northern Ireland in 1982. \u00a0The latter happened after a European Court ruling and despite a campaign led by the late Dr Ian Paisley MP to ‘Save Ulster from Sodomy.’<\/p>\n

Homosexual lobby group founded<\/h2>\n
\"Prime<\/a>
Prime Minister John Major MP decriminalised buggery on women.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even twenty-one years after the Sexual Offences Act, in 1988, homosexual activity was still viewed with distaste. That was the year of Section 28, which banned promotion of homosexuality in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Section 28 and its description of homosexual couples as being in a ‘pretended family’ energised gay activists. \u00a0They founded the Stonewall lobby group in 1989.<\/p>\n

Five years later, under John Major, Parliament lowered \u00a0the minimum age in the Sexual Offences Act to eighteen. \u00a0The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 also permitted buggery on women.<\/p>\n

The Christian Voice group was founded in the same year to inform Christians so they could pray into such matters and take action. \u00a0But a tidal wave was approaching.<\/p>\n

In 1998 activist MPs voted to lower the homosexual age again, this time to sixteen. \u00a0The House of Lords objected. \u00a0Undaunted, Prime Minister Tony Blair used the Parliament Act. \u00a0Accordingly, in 2000 homosexual men gained legal access to sixteen-year-old boys. \u00a0In 2003, his administration repealed Section 28. \u00a0The Scottish Parliament repealed its equivalent in 2000.<\/p>\n

In 2003, Parliament allowed homosexuals to adopt children. \u00a0The following year saw civil partnerships. \u00a0Also in 2004 Parliament legislated a lie. \u00a0They passed the Gender Recognition Act. \u00a0That allowed someone to go back and falsify his birth certificate if a doctor agreed he was a woman – or if a woman thought she was really a man.<\/p>\n

Like a flood<\/h2>\n
\"Tony<\/a>
Tony Blair used the Parliament Act to force the House of Lords to lower the minimum age for sodomy to sixteen. He also introduced civil partnerships. That would never be enough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gay-promoting legislation was now coming in like a flood. \u00a0In 2007 we had the Sexual Orientation Regulations, forcing Christian B&B owners to offer beds to homosexual couples. \u00a0In 2008 Parliament abolished the offence of blasphemy and passed their own blasphemy law, a ‘gay hate speech’ law.<\/p>\n

2009 saw the Equality Act placing a duty on public authorities to promote sodomy and transgenderism. \u00a0And then David Cameron forced through the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act 2013.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to promote homosexuality politically any more. \u00a0The activists have achieved virtually everything. \u00a0Accordingly, the BBC is simply leading today’s celebrations. \u00a0Of course, reparative therapy offering people a progression out of same-sex attraction is still a target, because the idea there could be something wrong with being homosexual is anathema to the ungodly. \u00a0Additionally, it is true there are still grumblings in society. \u00a0For example, many parents still do not want teachers promoting homosexuality to their children. \u00a0And the Independent says today<\/a><\/strong> that 42% of people in Britain still think homosexual activity is unnatural. \u00a0Curiously, 59% of\u00a0Brexit voters said gay sex was unnatural, compared to a quarter of Remain voters. \u00a0(And if you want to know which countries in the world say sodomy is unacceptable, click here!)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

But one UK institution in particular remains a thorn in the activists’ collective side. \u00a0The stronger elements of Christianity are still holding out. \u00a0Homosexuals demand full acceptance from the church. \u00a0Tolerance is not enough. \u00a0So our openly-lesbian Education Secretary has demanded churches offer ceremonies for people getting gay-married. \u00a0According to the Daily Mirror<\/a><\/strong>, Justine Greening said: ‘I think it is important that the church in a way keeps up.’<\/p>\n

Lift up a standard<\/h2>\n

The Bible shows God Almighty does not ‘keep up’ with wickedness. \u00a0In contrast, the Prophet of God says:<\/p>\n

Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And on this day of shame, this satanic jubilee, good Lord, that is what your Church is praying for. \u00a0For men of God to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to lift up the Lord’s standard and press the Crown Rights of King Jesus!<\/p>\n
