Robert R. Reilly, Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior is Changing Everything, Ignatius Press; San Francisco, 2014.
In 1971 I read a Dear Abby letter in our local paper. She had been asked what she thought about homosexuality. In her opinion, she said, homosexuality is caused by fixed physical factors. Thus, same-sex attraction and action simply exist as unchangeable features of personality. Instantly, I knew her opinion would soon be claimed as scientific fact. By 1975, in both secular and sacred realms, fixed sexual orientation became the basis for all same-sex advances in policy and eventually, law.
Robert Reilly meets fixed sexual orientation and all other same-sex reasoning head-on. From the opening page of his introduction to the final line of his book’s appendix he takes a clear, no nonsense approach to every angle of the same-sex puzzle. He opens with scholarly considerations developed out of ancient Greek observations. He includes insights from his experience in government, the military and the entertainment field. He shows how an entire society has been taught to rationalize away fundamental principles of human community.
He takes us on a tour of same-sex rationalization in family, science, education, the Boy Scouts of America, the military, the judiciary, and government. The final section on the use of our foreign embassies to spread same-sex doctrine is stunning.
This book is not for the passive on same-sex matters. In light of recent events this is a must read for those preparing to take action in the face of legal, moral and religious pressures to submit to the massive rationalization of our day.
