Jay's Gay Agenda

Product Information

Issues like loyalty, understanding, honesty, and feeling wanted and accepted, are universal. And learning how to function in society has its challenges, no matter where you call home. We all can relate to some of the things Jay faces, and just watching Jay navigate his way through them is a pleasure. 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. Then, against all odds, Jay’s family moves to Seattle and he starts his senior year at a new high school with a thriving LGBTQIA+ community. For the first time ever, Jay feels like he’s found where he truly belongs. But as Jay begins crossing items off his list, he’ll soon be torn between his heart and his hormones, his old friends and his new ones . . . because after all, life and love don’t always go according to plan.

The Los Angeles Times summarizes the growing impact in an article titled, "Gays May Have the Fastest of All Civil Rights Movements" (May 20, 2012). 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?

When it comes to sexual relations, the only two options affirmed for Christians are God-designed marriage or abstinence (no sexual relationships). As most of our Good News readers know, we view trends and events in culture and society through the prism of the Bible, the revealed Word of God. When societal changes run contrary to biblical revelation, it's necessary for us to keep our readers informed of influences that are detrimental to their future and that of their families. So what's going on? What's behind the gay agenda that's sweeping in this dramatic change? 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). Society places way too much emphasis on sex, and gay activists are trying to convince everyone that you can have it your way, their way or any way.

One reason is that the gay agenda has successfully changed the public focus away from the fundamental biological difference between same-sex couples and heterosexual partners. They may be able to fool some people some of the time, but they cannot fool God. There is simply no way to magically erase the inherent biological differences. Tell us about the world-building for Jay’s Gay Agenda. How did you build out Jay’s two worlds, the one he lives in at the start of the book in Riverton and the one he moves to in Seattle? How did you build out the youth LGBTQ+ community in Seattle in particular?It appears that those pushing the gay agenda won't give up until the definition of marriage is changed in law and common language and their influence is felt in every aspect of society, as Brown documents: Last spring Obama became the first sitting president to publicly declare support for the legalization of same-sex marriage. This was followed by the Democratic Platform Committee unanimously endorsing it for the 2012 presidential elections—a first for a major-party platform. The term "tolerance" is now employed to mean the complete acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) lifestyles and ideology—in the family, in the workplace, in education, in media and in religion. Those who do not accept this definition of "tolerance" are often labeled intolerant. But is it really sinister to provide an honest evaluation of what is really taking place? The fact is, there is a gay agenda. Simply put, it's an organized effort to produce political, social and religious change within society that will lead to tolerating—and eventually accepting as normal—homosexual relationships. While Lot and his family were in some ways negatively influenced by the evils of the society around them, he is called "righteous Lot" (2 Peter 2:7). He felt tormented, oppressed and distressed by the immoral and degrading ways of those around him (2 Peter 2:7-8).
