A Newspaper Columnist In Devon Says Accepting Gay People Will "Cause The Collapse Of Western Civilisation"

What a surprise, he writes anonymously. H/T Pink News.

The South Molton & District News, a North Devon newspaper,is facing a storm over an article written by an anonymous columnist who uses the nom de plume Grave Turner.

In his piece, Turner says "anarchy will take over" due to public acceptance of homosexuality.

He also says: "Clearly homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is, nonetheless, an aberration."

The editor of the paper, Paul Henderson, defended the publication of the piece in a letter to PinkNews on the grounds of encouraging "debate, discussion, and a viewpoint in areas that would not normally be carried in a small local paper". He described the columnist as being "of advancing years and ... extremely well educated".

I'd like to assure you I personally do not share Grave Turner's views in this particular article. If I did, then my nephew whom I'm very close to and who is in a long-term same sex relationship with a rugby player wouldn't forgive me and neither would my own children as they care for him deeply.

Reminder: Accepting homosexuality can be bad for the weather too.

Here is the whole column, transcribed by PinkNews.

THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.

GRAVE TURNER
There is no better example of this than the Human Rights Act.

Human Rights legislation has been used to overturn well founded taboos that have, hitherto, stood the test of time over many generations.

Prominent amongst them has been the issues surrounding homosexuality, and the Roman Catholic's opposition to public acceptance of homosexual practices as being anything other than the sin of sodomy.

It is worth recalling that in these Islands and well within living memory, those practising homosexual acts were persecuted and punished.

Clearly homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is, nonetheless, an aberration.

Such persons as suffer from it should-be treated with sympathy and understanding. What came next, in law, was permission.

It declared that, in matters of sex, what happened between consenting adults in private was purely their business. What evolved following the change in the law was a change in language.

No longer were homosexuals referred to as "queer", which of course, they are being at odds with the natural "norm", but "gay". Hitherto "gay" was understood to mean light hearted, and carefree with youthful connotations. This harmless and pleasant little word was skilfully adopted by organized homosexuals (Stonewall and the like) as a sort of camouflage disguising what they were really about, making it seem palatable.

Time passes, and the media are constantly referring to the 'gay movement' and aggressive "gay pride" marches are organized. "Gays" are encouraged to "come out", prominent people having already been "outed" by the likes of the thoroughly odious Peter Tatchell, an alleged draft dodger from "down under", now travelling under the ubiquitous human rights cloak covering anti-racism, and the outlawing of the so-called 'homophobia'. School children – SCHOOL CHILDREN! – mark you, are encouraged to express their sexuality.

So there you have it. In this country, homosexuality has gone from persecution, to permission, and thence promotion. When parliament passed the law making homosexuality legal, a well known figure was heard to remark "Knowing that lot, it's a wonder they didn't make it compulsory!"

It was not homosexuality per se that caused the collapse of the great civilising empires of Greece, Rome, Britain, et al, but rather public acceptance of it was the exclamation mark that signalled the end of empire. With it came the weakening of the disciplined social structures that support law and order. Slowly, but surely, anarchy will take over.

In passing, if the Scots don't vote for "independence" believing that they can't make a better fist of it governing them selves than that shower in Westminster – they they deserve all they get – and suffer!
