This article is about the term gay agenda. For information about the book by Ronnie W. Floyd, see The Gay Agenda: It's Dividing the Family, the Church, and a Nation. For information about the book by Jack Nichols, see The Gay Agenda: Talking Back to the Fundamentalists.The gay agenda is a concept promoted by Christian fundamentalists like James Dobson among others that gay and lesbians have a "master plan" to destroy religion, marriage, and family through "special rights" and shifting focus away from Bible-based morality. Gay groups such as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation deny any such agenda, and some religious groups supportive of gay rights such as the United Church of Christ argue that opposition to gays itself a deviation from Christ's teachings.
Most members of the LGBT community consider their personal "agendas" to consist of much more mundane items such as paying taxes and shopping for groceries. Some consider their political goals to be too heterogeneous to be grouped together in a single "agenda." However, political goals tend to center on ending discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations, with the intention of achieving equality. The idea that "the agenda promoted by some homosexual activists directed at eliminating the moral opprobrium that has traditionally attached to homosexual conduct," as written by United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in his dissent in Lawrence v. Texas, is less controversial, as it defined to include only "some" "activists" and does not make grand claims about overthrowing Christian morality. Many gays and lesbians say that their only "agenda" is simply to be left alone.
