To correlate with the Pro-Family Forum held in Dallas on Aug. 17 on the eve of the GOP convention, Jerry Falwell of the Moral Majority sent the following packet to his supporters. Dear Friend, Militant homosexuals are plotting a dangerously different future for America! My trip to San Francisco convinced me, beyond a doubt, of the so-called "Gay Rights" movement's true plans for this country and its children. As perhaps nowhere else in the United States, homosexuals in San Francisco arrogantly and boldly demonstrate what they plan for all America. Perversion is open, public, and pervasive.The main streets aredominated by qartsh, Written on back of photograph (right): Homosexuals everywhere are doing these immoral hardcore "theaters" promoting homosexual pornography and live, nude, homosexual acts, blatantly, openly in plain view of our children! shows. Sado-masochistic "demonstrations" are carried out on stage. And these same kind of "men" want to teach our schoolchildren, preach in our pulpits and force Men kiss men, tongues entwined, openly in public. Other men wear women's churches to hire them. clothing, makeup and hairstyles. Bathhouses, massage parlors, and leathershops are seen everywhere. City parks have become cesspools of perverted behavior. The smell of marijuana alarms the senses as one walks along sidewalks in front of stores like Macy's and Written on back of photograph (right, center): Saks. Here is one of the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" I saw in San But, as revolting as they are, the visual, physical appearance and behavior of these Francisco..actually homosexual men dressed as nuns. I can't imagaine how far these militant homosexuals will go--unless they are stopped people is actually not the reason they are most dangerous. soon! I learned the "homosexual agenda" for America by not only observi ng thei r dress 1,1 and behavior but also the company they keep, the literature they write, the speeches they make, the jokes they tell-and their political goals! And, you see, what they plan for you and your children is what makes them most dangerous! ! And, I have neverfelt such pure disgust-and total determination-as I felt when I finally realized how great a threat militant homosexuals pose for the future of our children and our country. I am enclosing only three photos (of hundreds my own son Jonathan and other staff members took in San Francisco) to give you some idea of what I am saying. I put these photos in the sealed envelope to protect children from such sights. I must warn you, these photos may shock you. And I must ask you to immediately destroy them after looking at them so they won't fall into the hands of impressionable young children. But I urge you to take a serious and close look at each one of these photos- Because when you see these photos, actual photos of men kissing each other openly in public, and worse, and when you finish reading my letter, I am sure you will agree that it's time to speak out against the homosexuals' plans for America. First -let me say this - in spite of what the liberal press and the gays themselves have said, I don't hate homosexuals. But while I strongly object to what some homosexuals are doing in there so-called "theaters," bathhouses, leathershops, and porno stores-and though I am revolted Q by what they do openly and blatantly in public-in plain view of little children- ( , 0').. -what I tell you below is what most chills my heart and causes me to fear for o~'-~\-----· Our future. ~\l~1$.··-····· (\. 11 ,11 1t.IO~ ~ .....
