Jay's Gay Agenda

Product Information

Last spring Obama became the first sitting president to publicly declare support for the legalization of same-sex marriage. This was followed by the Democratic Platform Committee unanimously endorsing it for the 2012 presidential elections—a first for a major-party platform. And it is encouraging to see there is clear biblical evidence that God can help change wrong behavior—including homosexuality and sodomy, as some of the Corinthian church members were able to do (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). It can be a struggle for those who desire to leave the gay lifestyle (again, see " The Human Side of Homosexuality: From One Who Has Struggled"). And like other human temptations, it may be a battle they fight all their lives. But God knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations (2 Peter 2:9).

Today we’re pleased to welcome Jason June to the WNDB blog to discuss his YA book Jay’s Gay Agenda, out June 1, 2021!

God "seeks godly offspring" and hates anything that undermines or destroys marriage because of the harm that creates (Malachi 2:14-16). The inherent contradiction between what God designed marriage relationships to be and same-sex marriage cannot be changed by altering the definition of marriage or carefully couching arguments to make alternative lifestyles seem more acceptable. To understand the struggles of those with SSA who are sincerely trying to resist sexual temptations and who are trying to "be transformed" to follow "the perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2), please see " The Human Side of Homosexuality: From One Who Has Struggled").

Children in elementary schools will be exposed to the rightness and complete normality of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgender expression . . . Opposing views will be branded as dangerous and homophobic, to be silenced and excluded from the classroom. Middle schools, high schools, and colleges will go out of their way to encourage both the celebration of homosexuality and deep solidarity with gay activism" (p. 49).The article notes that "attitudes toward gays and lesbians have changed so much in just the last 10 years that, as Gallup reported last week, 'half or more now agree that being gay is morally acceptable, that gay relations ought to be legal and that gay or lesbian couples should have the right to legally marry.' (In 1996, when Gallup first asked about legalizing same-sex marriage, 68% of Americans were opposed)." Mark Sanderlin delivers a fantastic performance in this wonderful story! I can't wait to find out what else he has narrated.

Human beings were created with a deep need to bond to others. And there is no deeper bonding relationship among human beings than the one that can be achieved between a husband and wife. Eve was created so that Adam would not have to live alone (Genesis 2:18). The two were directed to be fruitful and multiply through the only physical union capable of producing new life (Genesis 1:28). Pastors and religious groups teaching that homosexual behavior is immoral will increasingly find themselves being accused of "hate speech." In some countries ministers have already been convicted and fined for simply teaching the biblical truth on the subject. Another aspect, though, is that, as increasing numbers in society drift further from traditional values, they inevitably join ranks to push acceptance of them and their values by wider society. And the more gains they make, the more brazen they become in their efforts—even to the point of tearing down traditional values. The root of the problem, however, is ultimately spiritual, as we will later consider. I really wanted to explore the sort of lonely queer island so many of us in the LGBTQ+ community can find ourselves on because it still happens, even in 2021. Many well-meaning people of all orientations in bigger cities can sometimes have the “People love gays!” attitude and can assume that it’s an easy road for queer teens to explore their sexuality regardless of where they’re from. But we still have such a long way to go, especially in small-town and rural America. While Jay is accepted by his farming community, he still feels really stunted in terms of relationship growth because he doesn’t have anyone to explore his sexuality with, and I think it’s important for queer teens who do find themselves as the only out queer teen in their area to know that while they may be alone in their physical space, they aren’t alone in their experience, that they’re seen by Jay, and the day will come when they’ll get to find their queer community. GLSEN wants homosexuality and transgenderism completely normalized—and even encouraged, celebrated, and nurtured—in the educational system . . . Gay-inspired curricula and gay-affirming educational programs are now everywhere today" (p. 89).In the United States GLSEN also sponsors the rapidly growing Gay Straight Alliances (GSAs) in middle schools, high school and college campuses. There are now more than 4,000 student clubs on campuses, and the number continues to grow rapidly. These do far more than just provide a "safe place" for homosexual, bisexual and transgender students to hang out. They have become a springboard for pro-homosexual advocacy. They seek to alter curriculum and silence dissent. They push for the full acceptance of homosexuality in schools. The Bible contains specific passages condemning both male and female homosexual behavior (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 18:24-30; Romans 1:24-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:9). In recent years the gay-rights movement has changed the target of its agenda. Thirty years ago gay activists made little effort to try to change the definition of marriage. But today this change is central to the gay agenda in most of the Western world. While Lot and his family were in some ways negatively influenced by the evils of the society around them, he is called "righteous Lot" (2 Peter 2:7). He felt tormented, oppressed and distressed by the immoral and degrading ways of those around him (2 Peter 2:7-8).
