I. Introduction: As we approach this lesson, I want to be sure we remember that when a person commits any transgression of God’s law, that person is a sinner and thus a child of the devil (James 2:10-12, I John 2:29, and I John 3:1-10).  Remember also that a sinner can repent and be converted (Acts 3:19).

A. We had a lesson on 10/25/2026 wherein we examined this question: “Who Or What Influences You The Most?”  

https://www.biblewot.com/whoorwhatinfluencesyoumost2026.html 

1. We are warned: “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (I Corinthians 15:33).

2. We cannot be the disciples of Christ and conform to the world at the same time (Romans 12:1-3 and Ephesians 5:1-11).

B. The whole world is wicked (I John 5:19).

1. Our steps cannot be ordered by the world (Psalms 37:23 and Jeremiah 10:23).

2. Our personal understanding is not our standard (Proverbs 3:5-7).

3. The wisdom of the world is foolishness (I Corinthians 3:18-19).

II. Body: From The Beginning It Was Not So (Genesis 2:15-25 and Mark 10:6-9).

A. To avoid fornication (illicit [unlawful] sexual intercourse), every MAN is to have his own WIFE (I Corinthians 6:13-7:5).

1. Homosexuality is unscriptural (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, and I Corinthians 6:9-11).

2. Homosexuality is unnatural (Romans 1:18-32).

3. Remember that there is a distinction of natural and unnatural things in God’s order (I Corinthians 11:14-15).

B. Let’s look at the fantasy from Michael Swift in 1987 and the reality of a mailer I received at my house in October, 2026.

1.In 1992, while I was in high school, I wrote an essay opposing the direction homosexuality was taking in America. In that essay, I quoted from the very article we are about to examine.

C. Biblically, consider how the departure from God’s plan to the normalization of fornication can pervert people in a given society:

1. Sodom (Genesis 19:1-7).

2. Gibeah (Judges 19:10-30).

3. See: Jude 1:7

D. Regardless of what society has come to accept, have we allowed those changes to influence how we view what God calls sin (Isaiah 5:20 and Malachi 2:17)?

1. What if we start justifying what God calls wicked (Proverbs 17:15)?

2. Are we reacting like just individuals should even when society accepts sin so readily (II Peter 2:6-8)?

3. Some become so accustomed to sin that they cannot even blush when guilty of it (Jeremiah 6:15).

4. What moves me most?  Does the world’s conclusions?  Or, does God’s word move my thinking (Psalms 119:104; Psalms 119:128)?

III. Conclusion: Regardless of what the world accepts, God's will concerning our sanctification remains that we abstain from fornication (I Thessalonians 4:1-5).

For the Homoerotic Order 

By Michael Swift

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.

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 rigeur, 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.

Michael Swift is a gay poet and a gay revolutionary from Connecticut.
