Rainbow Alliance ^ | 2/15/1987 | Michael Swift
Posted on 5/25/2013, 5:03:42 PM by Slyfox
(First Published in Gay Community News, Feb. 15-21, 1987 and also put into the Congressional Record. Author - Michael Swift)
We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.
Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.
All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.
All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.
If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.
We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens. We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.
Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.
We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.
There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.
We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.
The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence--will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.
All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.
The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.
We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions. We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world. We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.
We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.
Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.

To be fair, let’s include the first paragraph of the actual
document, presumably deleted by whoever is putting this about as a
statement of actual intent.
“This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor.”
Now I’m not saying this first paragraph necessarily changes the meaning of the whole document, people will have to make up their own minds on that, but is it indisputably dishonest to exclude it.

To: Slyfox
But when the religious right cites this text, they always omit
the vital first line, which sets the context for the piece. In other
words, every other version of this found on the net and in the
literature of religious right political activists is part of the radical
right's great lie about gay people. "This essay is an outré,
madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the
oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor." In
fact, a "shocked, so very very shocked" congressperson read the article
in the Congressional Record in 1989. Funny thing, though, the opening
disclaimer was deliberately omitted.
According to this drama queen, the evil heteros forget the "Thooper Important" first line of the essay.
Just as the homosexual agenda takes everything Rush, or Beck, or a tv show, or a comedian says out of context, I, too then will decry, and denounce, and be offended at the fact that they said those words at all, whether they meant them or not!
Until I actually see, with my own eyes, an original print version, (which as a straight male, I NEVER will, thank you very much) I choose not to believe that first line ever existed. In reality, even if it did, it would be the least important line in the entire girlymanifesto.

To: Sherman Logan
We all can make up our own minds about it's content - agreed. To
delete it does not change the content. That is why I included the
website. So, everyone can see for themselves where it came from and to
whom it was intended. It was written for gays as a calling card to
future action. At the time, Christian Coalition made a huge deal about
it, testified before Congress and it was written into the Congressional
Record. Shortly after that Christian Coalition began to receive legal
difficulties instigated from one of the now Obama gang who is intending
to rip us some new ones. (I will search for her name.) What was
written in 1987 should not surprise us in the least when we see what has
happened to the media, nor to what has just happened to the Boy Scouts.
When I first read this back in 1987 I said to myself, "Will they try for 'Boy's Life Magazine'?
Little did I know how right I would be.

Every one of them was (supposedly) killed in their final battle at

To be fair, they supposedly all died without retreating a step, so that they died but were not defeated.

Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy.
Often God uses such scenarios, however, to warn His people to dig deeper into Him.
Don’t try to put the Lion of Judah in a cage —
He will only break out of it in a rage!
He’s almighty God, the same from age to age;
Don’t try to put the Lion of Judah in a cage!
The Lion of Judah is nobody’s pussycat —
For when you fall, for you He steps right up to bat!
You’ll never, ever find another hero like that!
The Lion of Judah is nobody’s pussycat!
Don’t be afraid when powers of darkness come to roar —
The Lion of Judah chains them down forever more!
But with your spirit in His hands your praises will soar;
Don’t be afraid when powers of darkness come to roar!
Do everything you can to love this Lion dear —
When you do what He wants you needn’t have a fear!
So listen for His voice and keep an open ear;
Do everything you can to love this Lion dear!
No one can keep the Lion of Judah in a cage —
Not the highest king and not the lowest page!
While His Spirit holds your soul you’re safe from age to age!
No one can keep the Lion of Judah in a cage;
No one can keep the Lion of Judah in a cage!

To: Slyfox
Eye-opening...thanks for posting. I was at a rally in Tulsa after
9/11and senator Inhofe attended. His aide was with him who was openly
homosexual..believe me you could tell, he was a flaming homosexual. I
was shocked that someone like Inhofe who claims to be so conservative
would have someone like that working so closely with him. I mean he was
ready to pick the lint off his coat if needed...that is how close he
stuck to the senator. Now before anyone tries to accuse me of saying
that homosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to work...that is not it...work
for barney Frank, yes, but for Inhofe, no. I don’t know who the guy was
but I have never forgot it. Very weird.
To: yellowdoghunter
Maybe Inhofe had a weakness for being idolized? Just off the top
of my head and definitely not a long pondered through conclusion. It
could be wrong.

Michael Swift is a pseudonym for great satirist, Thomas Swift.
However, there is too much relation to reality for this to be dismissed
as the satire they claim it to be.
To: Slyfox
Though... their approach appears to be one of temptation and
propaganda, to get these “sons” to give themselves to the Idol. They
don’t very often actually go physically forcing themselves on strangers,
at least not yet. (Though the incidence of such forcible sexual assault
is still much more common among them than it is among heterosexuals.)

To be honest, I do have friends who are of that persuasion. I feel
sorry for them and I pray for them. We have never talked politics and I
don't even want to know who they voted for. They are not pushing their
agenda on me. Like I said I pray for my friends. However, this type
which defines us as evil and are working to destroy any shred of true
morality are the ones who are trying to cram evil down our throats.
I really watched out for myself and my children as they were growing up. My oldest son's kindergarten teacher wanted to take my son fishing, after he had been fired from his job for an alleged impropriety. My boys made it through Eagle without any problems because the troop was maintained by all good, moral dads.
What is in the Gay Manifesto should not surprise us.

Sort of a sick symbiosis. The aide was doubtless thinking

shot this guy makes me feel like.

Romans 1:
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

It’s a good start into the insight. There’s more, and ultimately
that it’s idolatry driving it... Romans 1 isn’t woofing about this, the
Holy Spirit showed Paul what was cooking. And then why does the idolatry
“work”? Because of spiritual starvation when God is jettisoned.
