First, because morality is the glue that holds societies together, we need to be concerned about moral issues. Homosexual issues are moral issues. We can and do prove that homosexual activity is wrong, is immoral.

Second, we should be concerned about homosexual issues for humanitarian reasons. Since the "homosexual lifestyle" is so disease-ridden (as we'll show), and since the average lifespan of a homosexual is so relatively short, for their own sakes we should try to persuade people to avoid homosexual activity.

Third, the negative consequences of homosexual activity are not restricted to homosexuals (and bisexuals). Thousands of innocent hemophiliacs died of AIDS in years past because homosexuals (and to a lesser extent bisexuals) infected the blood supply with the AIDS virus. Now that AIDS has become so widespread ("thanks" in large part to homosexuals and bisexuals), even some innocent babies are born with AIDS. And besides that, the federal government is spending roughly $12 billion annually on STDs, and state governments are spending millions more on them every year---that's money we could be spending feeding starving children around the world or finding a cure for heart disease or arthritis or helping low-income senior citizens pay for expensive prescription drugs, etc. There is a public cost for private unsafe sex. (For example, in the year 2000 the federal government spent $1.8 billion for medical treatment of poor AIDS victims, and spent $387.7 million on AIDS prevention programs, and spent $257 million for housing poor and homeless AIDS victims [Chicago Sun-Times, Sept. 10, 2001, p. 5].)

Fourth, your civil rights are being threatened by homosexuals and their supporters as we'll explain elsewhere: rights like freedom of speech and freedom of thought.

H.O.M.E. was founded with one main purpose in mind: to expose all the flaws in the arguments homosexuals (and bisexuals) use to try to justify homosexual activity. Other goals are to defend heterosexual sex and marriage, and to expose the liberal pro-homosexual bias of the dominant media.

While other conservative groups, like Focus on the Family, are also involved with homosexual issues, they tend to be occupied with so many other things (abortion, gambling, abstinence education, etc., etc.) that it is difficult for these laudable groups to be as persuasive and as effective as a group like H.O.M.E. which practically specializes in homosexual issues.

We are not criticizing these other conservative groups. We are just recognizing that, because so many conservative values are being simultaneously attacked by liberals, the burdens on groups like Focus on the Family, which endeavor to defend all those values, are many and varied and heavy. Under those extraordinarily burdensome circumstances, it is understandable that the groups may not have the time and resources to devote to individual issues (e.g., homosexual issues) that more specialized groups like H.O.M.E. have.

We dearly need groups like Focus on the Family. But we also need more specialized groups like H.O.M.E. Each has an important role to play.
