Revision as of 19:11, 9 July 2005 by Stan2525 (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) 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 that gay and lesbians are "out to destroy" their "family values". Gay groups deny any such agenda, and assert that Christian fundamentalists know nothing of the values of the founder of their religion, Jesus Christ, to make up such accusations of hatred and deception.
The concept is not only criticised by gay rights groups like the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, but also by religious groups supportive of gay rights such as the United Church of Christ.
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. Many gays and lesbians say that their only "agenda" is for homophobes to simply "leave them alone".
