About this listen

 From the clamor of the evening news to the hush of a judge's courtroom, there is a battle raging for marriage. The implications for society are profound. Yet many people of faith are confused, asking: Is it really that big of a deal?

Erwin Lutzer, best-selling author, theologian and minister pulls no punches. The spread of same-sex marriage is a deep and dangerous threat and the church MUST act, in love and in truth. Lutzer sorts truth from spin and takes on some tough questions, such as: How did we get to this point? Why is marriage as God intended better-and healthier? How can I talk to my kids about this?

Title intrigued me; coming in I assumed I would learn about typical problems in homosexual relationships - maybe how gender stereotypes or societal expectations have an impact on queer people in long term relationship.


Instead I stumbled upon on thinly veiled manifesto of hatred, excusing this ideology by using Christian rhetoric. I do want to state that there were few ideas conveyed that surprised me rather pleasantly; like looking upon the practice of radical Christian families disowning their queer family members.
It almost made me believe that there is some kind of good faith hidden in there, just for the narrator to follow that same message with hateful, old-fashioned narrative which has the audacity to hide behind phrases like "approaching the debate with kindness," also quickly followed by an anegtote of how younger boys may be groomed into homosexuality by their forceful, older "partners".


Don't make my mistake. Book is filled with hateful propaganda, giving it positive attention will have only negative effects to one's Psyche.

This audiobook is a prime example of the self-deluded paradox at the heart of all discrimination, bigotry and oppression. Namely, the fact that the bigoted oppressors always have to convince themselves (and everyone else) that they are still the good guys. And to that end, they always insist that:

a) Far from 'Hating' the group which they persecute and oppress, they're merely trying to protect and/or 'Save' them; both from themselves and from the Radical Leftist indoctrinators who are corrupting, manipulating and exploiting them.

b) They must also protect #TheChildren from these Radical Leftist #Groomers who seek to 'Recruit' them and or destroy society by destroying the next generation. And...

c) In spite of the fact that they have all of the power over the oppressed minority, it's actually they themselves who are the oppressed victims fighting against Tyranny and acting in self-defence.

Honestly, from the Nazis to the so-called 'Religious Right' who just elected Trump to his second term, name a single bigoted oppressor throughout history who hasn't ticked every one of these three boxes. So as ridiculous as it sounds, I actually recommend this book to everyone as a masterclass in how the bigoted oppressor always twists the facts and projects their own motives onto the group which their oppressing in order to present themselves as the heroic victims. And even more importantly, of how the cherry picked anecdotes, biased studies and other 'Evidence' which they present to back up their case is always entirely irrelevant. Since even if we debunk every single claim that they make, they'll simply find another icon with which to justify and rationalise their bigotry.

Because when all is said and done, whether it's two people of the same sex getting married, a trans girl playing badminton or an interracial couple existing, admitting that they want people to stop doing what they want to do because it makes them feel icky inside automatically makes them the bad guys. So instead, from the Bible to B.S. claims about homosexuality being the product of child S.A, they cling to anything which allows them to pretend that their bigotry is righteous heroism. Meaning that just as Fascism's greatest advantage is that almost no one ever wants to admit that they're Fascists, (often literally accusing Anti-Fascists of being Fascist without the slightest hint of irony, since only 'Bad Guys' who we hate can be Fascists,) we magically live in a world in which the people who have all of the power and literally pass laws persecuting the powerless minority are actually the good guys protecting society from the *Real* bigoted oppressors.
