Later Brown categorizes some of the movements. "There is a gay revolution, a gay liberation movement, a plethora of gay activist organizations with clearly identified missions and goals, but no gay agenda . . . How can that be? . . . I love that Jay is such a flawed character and he makes mistakes as he’s figuring everything out. Why did you want to write a character who has to apologize and learn to take accountability for their mistakes? And they encourage children as young as 11 years old to declare themselves gay in GSA meetings, often without the knowledge of their parents. In most states gays already can gain most if not all the rights heterosexual marriage partners have by voluntarily entering into a private, informal domestic partnership agreement specifying their mutual obligations. And they can even hold private religious marriage ceremonies. Life is fine if a little boring for Jay. He’s headed into his senior year and is the ONLY out gay kid in his entire small school. He came out in 9th grade and figured that, statistically, SOMEONE else had to eventually come out. Maybe he’d make some gay friends. Maybe he’d meet a cute boy. Or maybe he’d remain the only out kid through all of high school. When his parents announce they’re moving to Seattle, he’s psyched to leave rural Washington behind, even though it means leaving his best friend, Lu. But she has Chip, her boyfriend, and besides, it’s time for Jay to go from third wheel to the main character in his own story.

GLSEN wants homosexuality and transgenderism completely normalized—and even encouraged, celebrated, and nurtured—in the educational system . . . Gay-inspired curricula and gay-affirming educational programs are now everywhere today" (p. 89). Human beings were created with a deep need to bond to others. And there is no deeper bonding relationship among human beings than the one that can be achieved between a husband and wife. Eve was created so that Adam would not have to live alone (Genesis 2:18). The two were directed to be fruitful and multiply through the only physical union capable of producing new life (Genesis 1:28).

Can a 17-year-old with her first girlfriend prevent real-life folks from discovering her online fandoms?

What this all adds up to is that the gay agenda has become one of the greatest attempts at social reengineering in history. The fight to uproot the definition of marriage to include same-sex partners is just one more social trend threatening to further undermine the very foundation of the family unit and the stability of society itself.The sad reality is that our society is continuing headlong down the moral spiral prophesied for the end time before Jesus Christ's return (2 Timothy 3:1-7, 2 Timothy 3:13). God's Word says the family will continue to be under assault as we approach the end of this age. If you could design your dream panel for Jay’s Gay Agenda, what would the topic be? What other authors would you invite to be on it? So through Jay, I hope readers realize it’s okay to make mistakes, that it’s natural to prioritize ourselves when we’re experiencing relationships for the first time, but that when you screw up and you hurt someone, you have to own up to it. You have to say how you hurt someone, show them you understand where your actions caused them pain so that you won’t repeat those mistakes. Sometimes, the act of messing up and owning up to it then doing better can bring you closer than you ever were before, but that can only happen with accountability.

So while the gay activists clearly have an agenda, they want to hide that fact by replacing the word "agenda" with more euphemistic terms. Children in elementary schools will be exposed to the rightness and complete normality of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgender expression . . . Opposing views will be branded as dangerous and homophobic, to be silenced and excluded from the classroom. Middle schools, high schools, and colleges will go out of their way to encourage both the celebration of homosexuality and deep solidarity with gay activism" (p. 49). Another aspect, though, is that, as increasing numbers in society drift further from traditional values, they inevitably join ranks to push acceptance of them and their values by wider society. And the more gains they make, the more brazen they become in their efforts—even to the point of tearing down traditional values. The root of the problem, however, is ultimately spiritual, as we will later consider.

Likewise, nothing prohibits private companies from offering benefits to same-sex partners of their employees. In fact, the majority of Fortune 500 companies already do. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are motivated by many of the same hopes, concerns and desires as other everyday Americans . . . Additionally, outing not being the Main story arc! I really love that this could have been a straight story because it kind of normalized the LGBT community rather than making it about the outing which makes us different from the others.
