On the May 16, 2009 Battle Lines broadcast we discussed the homosexual political agenda with special guest Peter Labarbera. Labarbera is the president and founder of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, a national organization devoted to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda. Labarbera is a former reporter for the Washington Times and has appeared on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes speaking out for the truth about homosexuality. We discussed whether gay marriage is a civil right. Labarbera’s unequivocal conviction is that it is not – instead it is a moral wrong. Gay marriage, according to Labarbera is not even the issue; the issue is homosexuality. And because homosexuality is morally wrong, gay marriage is not even an option. To the assertion that the government cannot legislate morality, Labarbera reacts with certain disagreement. The very purpose of government is to legislate morality. To establish laws that guide a society’s behavior. The only question is whose morality a government will legislate: a healthy, truth-based morality or a relativistic, liberal morality. According to Labarbera, “The number one threat to free speech and religious freedom in America today is the pro-homosexual activist movement.” We concluded our discussion by reminding our listeners that, while we oppose the homosexual political agenda, we love and are concerned for people who are engaged in a homosexual lifestyle. We believe that through the love and truth of Christ, through faith in His death and resurrection, people can be delivered from sin. Check out Peter Labarbera’s website: www.americansfortruth.com.
