ABC's Good Morning America hit a grand slam on Friday for the homosexual activist movement by airing a profoundly misleading segment that asks, "Can a Baby Be Gay?" 

Convincing the public that some people are "born gay" is a central strategy of homosexual activists, who are being aided by a compliant media that routinely fails to examine such claims. If sexual behavior is hard-wired like race, then moral considerations can be swept aside, homosexuality declared a "civil right" and governments can move against people who believe homosexuality is wrong.
 
The Good Morning America story follows the script proposed in the gay strategic manual After the Ball, by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen.  The two Harvard-trained PR experts set out to "overhaul straight America," which was the title of an article out of which After the Ball was born as a full-length book in 1989.
 
The authors tell activists to use the media to portray homosexuality as in-born, and homosexuals as victims. The heavies in the drama are proponents of traditional morality --especially Christians -- who are to be depicted as ignorant at best, and haters and bigots at worst. The authors further advise that under no circumstances should the public be informed of actual homosexual behavior. Over the years, the media rarely have veered from the script, and Good Morning America is no exception.
 
Host Diane Sawyer begins the Good Morning America segment by proclaiming the advent of a "truly landmark study" (whose results won't come out until later this year) about "biology and being gay."
 
"And of course," continued Sawyer, "what about the people who still believe that homosexuality is a choice?"
 
Wink, wink. These are the same folks who still believe in a flat earth.
 
The report is framed around a boy named Zack, who, along with his parents, believes he was "born gay." The lone dissenter, Dr. Stanton Jones, is introduced as "a clinical psychologist and evangelical Christian." No one else's religious beliefs are mentioned.  The message: Pay no attention to this man. His views are religious, not scientific.
