It hasn't been talked about much, but homosexuals are now going after 'Duck Dynasty'...Go figure! A hit series that doesn't cuss, promotes family values and professes God?...And homosexuals hate it? Go figure!
There have been those in the United Kingdom, that catered to the compromise of laws to protect children...and one historian is speaking out!

Corrupting
Children: As opposed to jaded Americans, Jamaicans are still
shocked by the radical homosexual agenda — including pro-homosexual “children’s”
picture books like the above, “King & King,” about a “gay” prince who
“marries” another prince rather than a princess. Historian Paul
Johnson describes how what began in the U.K. in the name of
“compassion” for homosexuals (rescinding anti-sodomy laws) morphed into a
vengeful “monster in our midst” — the powerful Homosexual Lobby. Today’s
homosexual activists will even corrupt the minds and souls of the very young in
their desperate quest to rationalize their sinful behavior, which God
condemns.By Peter LaBarbera
Folks, when I was in Jamaica I took time in my presentations to share this compelling passage from British historian Paul Johnson, from his book, The Quest for God: A Personal Pilgrimage. (Hat tip to Paul Cameron of Family Research Institute for bringing this to light.) I have found nothing that better explains the inevitable slippery slope of indulged pro-homosexual activism — from the repeal of anti-sodomy laws (motivated by well-intended but misguided compassion toward homosexuals as “victims”); to demands for “tolerance” of homosexuality; to the steady growth of a “gay rights” movement winning passage of laws granting affirmative “rights” based on sexual perversion (and gender confusion); to homosexual and transgender advocacy in schools (targeting even the very young [see book photo]); and ultimately, to the rise of a powerful, well-heeled Homosexual/Transgender Lobby that achieves dominance in society at the expense of biblical truth, religious tradition, public health and the rights of others to disagree.
Note that Johnson correctly calls homosexuality a “great moral evil” – something I think even many committed Christians – neutered by political correctness and decades of “gay” propaganda – today would have a hard time admitting (to their shame). Johnson, writing in 1996, had not yet experienced the attachment of this moral evil to the noble institution of marriage itself (as is now legal in the U.K and in 16 American states). Sin’s advance – like an insatiable, devouring monster — destroys people and cultures, and displaces virtue with man-centered notions of wrong as right (Isaiah 5:20).
But God’s Truth – our Creator’s standard of righteousness – is unchanged – despite fanatical efforts by religious homosexuals to co-opt even Christianity itself. Like homosexual (mis)behavior, the ideology of homosexualism – proud homosexuality aggressively defended as a “civil right” and moral good – is an egregious sin before God. (For if, as the Word of God teaches, homosexual practice is detestable and always sinful in God’s sight, how can a movement based on condoning and celebrating it be any less so?) [See Leviticus 20:13 (note the context), Jude 7 (a verse liberals conveniently ignore in distorting the meaning of Sodom and Gomorrah), Romans 1:26-27, and 1 Corinthians 6:7-11.]
Of course, we in America have our own arrogant and vengeful “gay” (LGBT) “monster in our midst” — and I warned the Jamaicans that they, too, will have one if they give in to Western powers by opening up the Pandora’s box of homosexual “rights” in their country. The smart and resolute Jamaican leaders and pastors whom I encountered understand the tragic lesson from Britain and the United States: all attempts to appease this self-justifying Sin Movement are doomed to fail, as each concession leads only to further, and more radical, demands.

Kingston, with AFTAH’s Peter LaBarbera, who was a guest speaker
at the church. “Right is right, and wrong is wrong,” said Edwards, in response
to international pressure on Jamaica to repeal its anti-buggery law banning
homosexual conduct. The law is largely unenforced but repealing it is only the
first in a long chain of homosexual activist demands in the island
nation.

Johnson “Monster in our Midst” Passage:
Excerpt from The Quest for God: A Personal Pilgrimage, by Paul Johnson (pages 28-29) [emphasis is added, and for readability I have also broken in half the paragraph beginning, “I believe…”]:
…after a section in which Johnson discusses
radical, worldly movements – race, sexual, environment and health politics —
that collectively present an alternative to God and traditional
religion:
“The radical agenda …with its strong appeal to the
idealistic, as well as the materialistic, instincts of mankind, especially among
young people, does constitute an alternative religion. Like any other form of
humanism, it replaces God by man, and the welfare – or supposed welfare – of
man, rather than the worship of God and obedience to his commandments, as the
object of human existence and the purpose of society. That, of course, is its
defect. The Jesuit theologian Karl Rahner once argued that it is the
consciousness of God, the acceptance that there is power outside and above
ourselves, to whom we owe allegiance and whose guidance we must follow, which
essentially distinguishes mankind from other creatures. If belief in God were
ever to fade completely from the human mind, we would not, Promethean-like,
become masters of our fate; on the contrary, we would descend to the status of
very clever animals, and our ultimate destiny would be too horrible to
contemplate.
I believe this argument to be profoundly true, and
corroborated by history, and what worries me about the new radical agenda is the
danger that it will dehumanise man just as the totalitarian alternatives did,
though no doubt in rather different ways. But there are further, related
objections. All the items on the agenda lend themselves to extremism. Take, for
instance, the issue of homosexuality, an important part of the sexual politics
item. There were many of us, in the 1960s, who felt that there were grave
practical and moral objections to the criminalisation of homosexuality, and
who therefore supported, as happened in most Western countries, changes in the
law which meant that certain forms of homosexual behavior ceased to be unlawful.
Homosexuality itself was still to be publicly regarded by society, let alone
by the churches, as a great moral evil, but men who engaged in it, within
strictly defined limits, would no longer be sent to prison. We believed this
change to be the maximum homosexuals deserved or could reasonably
expect.
Paul
Johnson
We were proved totally mistaken.
Decriminalisation made it possible for homosexuals to organise openly
into a powerful lobby, and it thus became a mere platform from which further
demands were launched. Next followed demands for equality, in which
homosexuality was officially placed on the same moral level as standard forms of
sexuality, and dismissal of identified homosexuals from sensitive positions,
for instance in schools, children’s homes, etc., became progressively more
difficult. This was followed in turn by demands not merely for equality but
privilege: the appointment, for instance, of homosexual quotas in local
government, the excision from school textbooks and curricula, and university
courses, passages or books or authors they found objectionable, special rights
to proselytise, and not least the privilege of special programmes to put forward
their views – including the elimination of the remaining legal constraints – on
radio and television. Thus we began by attempting to right what was felt an
ancient injustice and we ended up with a monster in our midst, powerful and
clamouring, flexing its muscles, threatening, vengeful and vindictive towards
anyone who challenges its outrageous claims, and bent on making fundamental –
and to most of us horrifying – changes to civilised patterns of sexual
behavior.
Here indeed we have sexual politics in action.
And, as with other alternatives to God, the result is not human happiness, but
human misery. The homosexual community, as they now styled themselves, by their
reckless promiscuity during the 1970s and 1980s, helped to spread among their
members the fearful scourge of AIDS, a killer disease of a peculiarly horrible
nature, for which there is no cure, and no immediate likelihood of a cure….
