„Гаy агенда“: мит или стварност?
"Gay Agenda": Myth Or Reality?

Summary/Abstract: "Gay Agenda" is a belief existing among Christian traditionalists that the gay movement has a hidden agenda for achieving radical goals. This agenda consists of gradually accustoming of society to the problematic norms, without upset the general public and without serious resistance. As evidence for the existence of the gay agenda, or even as a gay agenda itself, the most frequently identified Gay Rights Platform (1972) and book by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90's (1989). The author of this arti-cle is not considered that Platform, the book by Kirk and Madsen, or any other document, can taken as a hidden agenda of a diffuse and branched movements, as the gay movement in the United States like. Each movement is consist of a multitude of or-ganizations, informal groups and intellectual clubs, which are more spontaneous and consensual coordinated, not from one center, or according to one plan. Although certain documents can truly express the "spirit of an epoch" or predict prevailing opinion in the movement, these documents are not necessarily the main guides of biggest or-ganizations and the most powerful actors in the movement. Correspondence of ideas between the many actors does not mean that there is an "ideological leadership" of actor which first had has an idea, and practicing of an idea by many actors in a movement does not mean that its original author is "ideologue" or "instigator" of all social actors who have applied similar practice. Therefore, the belief that a movement has a unique "secret plan" falls more into the domain of naive conspiracy theories, than that it belongs to a serious exploration of social phenomena.
