Do They Realise?
The real problem, for those who would overturn the Christian moral order is not whether it might be true that the young could be influenced into homosexual acts, habits and milieux. The problem is that this possibility could be seen as a danger rather than an opportunity. Thus the very suggestion that it might be worse if that young man chose a homosexual orientation rather than a heterosexual one is the real offence against the new code of belief.
The new order is based upon the idea that there is no moral distinction between homosexual and heterosexual acts, that those who believe that there is are morally faulty, and that the human race can be educated out of its general disapproval of homosexual acts. Do those who support it, claiming that they do so in the name of tolerance, realise the radicalism of the programme they are supporting? I suspect not. [Peter Hitchens,
