Straight Lives Matter

 We have said this before and we need to say it again. It's not a question of neutrality. It's a question of which worldview will be embraced and which worldview will be disallowed. No man can serve two masters. Two opposing worldviews cannot peacefully co-exist. 

Nobody made this truth up. It's unalterably recorded in the history of the world. 

Some parents are mad (see clip starting at 7:25 of the video), and rightly so, about all the graphic and explicit sexual LGBTETC books now available in their children's schools. But they have something wrong. They won't say what it is they don't like about the gay books. They just say: we don't want ANY sexual ideas in school. Oops. They are making a big mistake here because schools have always had models of human sexual behavior implicit in their materials. 

For example, the Dick and Jane books, which we here at SoL learned to read from back in the day,

set their literacy program against a backdrop of a traditional family: father, mother, and their children. That was a model for the two human sexes and human sexual behavior, no matter how subtle. An adult male and an adult female get married, make a home, and have children of the male or female sexes whom they take care of and love and model this reality to, generation after generation. That is the one good way of sexualizing children, as in yes, you have a sex: you are a girl or a boy, and marriage and family is the usual thing that is done with that fact.  Maybe 95 percent or maybe all books ever written reflect this reality and standard at least in some implicit way. So these angry parents, if they really mean what they say, would have practically all books removed from their children's school, and their children would have no standard at all for human sexual behavior in their schools, not to mention very few books of any interest or value to speak of. However well-meaning, these parents haven't thought this issue through and are not brave enough to come out and say what is really wrong with these LGBTQ materials.  

Again, it's not about neutrality, it's about which worldview will be preferred, embraced, emphasized, taught, implied, catechized, glorified, whatever word you like, and which worldview will be harmed, rejected, de-emphasized, ignored, vilified, demonized, whatever word you like. Which worldview is what matters, not wiping the slate blank and not transmitting any worldview at all. Of course there will always be a preferred worldview modeled and taught. The important point is which will it be and will it be the best for mankind. Of course we know from human history the right answers to these questions. God's standard of human sexual behavior, even when not perfectly applied, is the most effective and benevolent for humankind.

The same thing happened with the gay marriage debate. Nobody would actually come out and say homosexuality is harmful, wrong, sinful, destructive, promiscuous, pornographic, causes chronic illness, spreads terrible disease, whatever. They only said faithful traditional marriage is valuable. Now, the whole institution of marriage, which was already wounded, is in a death spiral. For instance, apparently, now sodomy is for everyone! Yes, this is what many people under, say, about 35 years old actually think. You can't give a new definition to something without destroying the old definition. Normal marriage, sexual morality, proper intercourse, family, parenthood, childhood, are some of the old certainties that have been recently redefined and are in the process of being destroyed.

Elementary schools, and even many Christian/conservative churches, have given in to the secular culture and consequently the sexual revolution. The church in general is moving left. Gay (read:sodomy) is great now, it's only the trans thing that has Christians flummoxed. Will they give in to the T too? If not, because of the worldview that is now culturally preeminent (read:winning)  anti-Christian sentiment. will only increase, along with all this anti-male, anti-family, anti-western world, anti-America, anti-white, even anti-observable science sentiment. There is growing animosity against   traditional values, objective truth and reality, real science, and even any norms at all. All these standards are falling like cards. What will be the next one to be attacked and demonized?

 We submit that straightness is the next thing to go. If  childhood sexual innocence, human sexuality, family, male and female, motherhood and fatherhood, child and parent, are all being redefined/erased  because their traditional meanings are so very repressive and oppressive and hurtful and destructive, then exclusively male-female sexual relationships must be done away with. And not just straightness; more specifically, it is monogamous straight relationships that will be touted as the worst kind. That is what must be completely demonized. But general straightness too, that is, exclusive sexual attraction to the opposite sex. You at least have to be fluid or bisexual. Maybe even incest/minor-attracted as well. Oh and don't forget nonbinary---choose your own adventure!

 Of course this is not a new idea. And all you sexual revolutionist, millennial-types need to know it is not new to you. Marxism has this uprooting of the traditional family and sexual morality idea at its core. And some very famous science fiction books come to mind. Well, they are called science fiction. Now they are proving to have been prophetic. In Ayn Rand's story, Anthem, coupling between men and women is forbidden, along with any individuality at all. The word I has been removed in favor of the collective we. In Aldous Huxley's  Brave New World, having babies is done by those assigned and monogamous sex is forbidden, in favor of casual sexual promiscuity. In fact, drugs are required to heighten libido and promiscuity is required. No having sex with the same person more than once! The same sorts of perverse twists happen in Orwell's 1984.

What with abortion still being pushed in half the world, with child sex abuse being increasing downplayed (even by churches), child sex trafficking increasing, the child-adult sex movement moving right along, children being sexualized ever younger, and the normal sexual development being interfered with and sexual parts being amputated by the mainstream medical establishment, and any protest against such travesties being cancelled and protestors harmed, it is not hard to imagine that straight lives will in the near future be looked down upon, thought anything from stodgy and boring to outright evil. 

What we are seeing is what C. S . Lewis called the abolition of man in his slender volume of the same name. When you switch out traditional time-tested objective values for anything else, men will end up eating each other up in one sense or another. And he warned about this back in the 1950s. The book's premise begins by pointing out how a textbook in a local high school refused to call a waterfall beautiful; it stated that such an idea was subjective. In other words, there is no such thing as objective beauty. Lewis saw it coming. The upending of civilization was being advanced with trashing the idea of real beauty, and he knew it would extend into trashing truth, goodness, health, reality, real science, and every other right thing as well.

Who will care? We think very few. Certainly not enough to make a difference. Most are either too brainwashed or too intimidated to do anything. It is easier to go along. God help us.

If Christians (people who hold to the standards for human behavior in the Bible), whites (people who have paler skin than others), and generally people who value humanity and reality (those against abortion and against LGBTQ-ing kids, etc.) are being silenced and harmed, and the Godless hedonistic progressive revolutionist ideas against humanity and reality are increasingly being given preference in all institutions, you can bet the whole idea of monogamous heterosexuality, and exclusive heterosexuality itself, is high on the deconstruction list. It is already scoffed at and mocked and dismissed. It only follows that straightness will someday be outright demonized and banned. (Activists are at this moment spreading the idea that straight men who don't date transwomen --that is, men who don't date other men who are pretending to be women--- are transphobic bigots.) 

Of course in the meantime all of this is very unhealthy for human beings and human civilized society ---practically, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Wear your Straight Lives Matter t-shirts while you can!
