We Are Your Neighbors

 Billboards that are being raised around South Georgia for the purpose of raising awareness about gay and lesbian lifestyles.  One of those is located on Telfair Street right here in Dublin.  It reads, “I sit next to you…And I am a lesbian.”  There is a picture of a female student standing against a school locker.  The sign concludes with the words, “We are your neighbors.”

 The signs have been placed by Georgia Equality, a homosexual advocacy group.  Chuck Bowen, Chairman of the group, said that 50 billboards are going up in communities like ours, because a survey revealed that people in rural areas are less tolerant of gay and lesbian relationships.

 How should we respond? 

 Here are three ways not to respond:  

  1. Bury your head in the sand, and ignore the issue so that you and your children will become more and more desensitized to the homosexual agenda.
  2. React with vindictiveness, hatred and name-calling.
  3. Conclude that, “they are just born that way.” Don’t be tempted to accept the homosexual message and believe that homosexuality is an inborn lifestyle just like heterosexuality.

Here are some ways to respond: 

  1. Begin sex education in the home.  Parents teach your kids early about marriage and human sexuality from a thoroughly biblical viewpoint.  There are excellent resources available from the Olive Branch and other Christian book stores.  All too often this is not typical.  Think about some of the ways that sex education usually takes place:
    1. Kids who’ve been abused or introduced to sexuality through pornography and immorality in their homes teach your children about sex at school.  These kids learned about sex the wrong way.  Your kids haven’t been taught and so they are intimidated by the kids who are “in the know.”  Those kids now become the experts.
    2. Watching sitcoms and movies which are filled with immoral and unbiblical ideas about marriage and sexuality.
    3. Listening to music that is dominated with songs about immoral sexual ideas and activities, and unbiblical perspectives on dating and romance.
  1. Be informed and appropriately inform your children and teenagers.  Find out what is behind the gay agenda.  Start by going to the web site: www.parentsrightsusa.com. Click on “Homosexuality,” and read the article, “The Overhauling of Straight America.”  This will give you an excellent overview of the homosexual strategy as laid out by homosexuals.  There are many other excellent resources and links to other web sites on this web site.

 It is light that dispels the darkness.  Allow the light of truth to inform you and your children about God’s plan for life, love and marriage.

 In Christ,
