While this article homes in on Jewish homosexuality it must be emphasised that there are many other breeds of homosexuality and these should not be passed by. It is a fact however that those who have the most influence on decent society are those who control Hollywood films, the newspapers and television.
It is for this reason that I pass on the following.
Harmony grant, a staff writer of the national prayer network. Nearly 24, harmony has a message to younger Americans that will also inform and inspire the older generation. Harmony, the main figure in npn’s video documentary, shaking campus liberalism, has dedicated the last 4 years to political and theological study in preparation for her role as editor, writer, and researcher.
There are many decent people who no fault of their own were born into the Jewish faith. These people must be as revolted as i am at the antics of those mentioned in the article below.
TV that’s All Gay, All Day
By Harmony Grant
Viacom Int., proud purveyor of the bump-and-grind trash pouring from MTV and VH1, has a new offering for the uplift of America: Logo, “the channel for gay America.”
While an ABC news poll shows that 58 percent of Americans believe gay marriage should be illegal, Jewish leftists (like Sumner Redstone, head of Viacom), are pushing against the grain for the gay agenda. 1
Although some Orthodox rabbis stand fast on Leviticus 18:22 and its prohibition of sodomy, Reform Judaism has been ordaining gays and lesbians since 1990. According to the Jewish daily Forward, conservative rabbis will soon join them, consecrating same-sex marriage and ordaining homosexual rabbis. 2
Last November, Abe Foxman (national director of the Anti-Defamation League) and Rabbi Eric Yoffie (president of the enormous Union for Reform Judaism) gave back-to-back speeches attacking the Christian right. Yoffie’s union is the largest Jewish organization in the United States and includes over 900 congregations.
What did this supposed man of God have to tell his flock? At the Union's biannual convention, Yoffie sermonized to around 5,000 attendees about the “appalling” idea that one group of people might have found the absolute truth about God.
One thing Jewish America is clearly thinking and feeling is that homosexuality deserves public acceptance. In a 2004 Forward article, Jay Michaelson explained the liberalizing of Jewish attitudes toward sodomy. He quoted Jeremy Gordon, a student leader at the Jewish Theological Seminary: “[Homosexuality] has become one of the most important issues for the movement and the seminary and something leadership from across the movement feel needs to be readdressed.”
Michaelson, who directs Nehirim: A Spiritual Initiative for GLBT Jews and edits Zeek: A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture, comments that even conservative Jews are considering new ways to read Jewish laws against sodomy. But he says media shapes the sensibilities of American Jews more than sacred texts ever will. “The rapid change in the status of gay people within the Jewish community owes as much to [TV show] Queer Eye as it does to novel interpretations of Leviticus.”
Will evangelicals also be more influenced by media’s gay agenda than by
their own sacred text, the Bible? Jewish activists hope so. With TV shows like
Will and Grace (which ran for 8 years and won truckloads of awards and
award nominations), films like Brokeback
Mountain,
and now an all-gay channel, Jewish media moguls’ motives are clear: Bring gays
out of the closet
and kick Christian morals to the curb.
