By now, the campaign to legitimatize homosexuality has succeeded in getting most of the media, and much of America, to accept it per se. The media-legitimization process began with the Broadway theater, spread to the movies and has finally reached television.
In April 2000, New York Times political correspondent Richard Berke told the Gay Journalists’ Association (whose very existence should be startling) that “since I’ve been [at the Times] there’s been a dramatic shift: I remember coming and wondering if there were…any gay reporters there or whatever. Now it’s like, there are times when you look at the front-page and…literally three-quarters of the people deciding what’s on the front page are not-so-closeted homosexuals.”
Today, of course, the campaign to legitimatize homosexuality is focusing on gay marriage. The time is long overdue to recognize, combat and reverse the fierce effort to legitimatize homosexuality in America. Societal stability rests on the faithful marriages and enduring families whose basic structure Judaism was the first to define.
