I think that too many people use the phrase "gay agenda" like a tool to avoid arguing.
It's harder to demonize gays wanting to serve their country in the military, so it's called a "gay agenda" instead. Pseudo-scary words that hide a realistically rational argument in a propagandic term.
So to put it in perspective, if a mother wants her child to grow up happy and healthy, that's a "Parent Agenda".
If a general wants to defend this country against foreign threats, that's a "Military Agenda".
If a Christian wants freedom of religion to worship without discrimination or harassment, that's a "Christian Agenda".
Heck. Why do you think those groups that are definitively anti-GAY keep trying to avoid acknowledging what they are, and keep trying to refer to themselves with the word "family". "Family values". "Traditional families".
yadda, yadda, yadda...
The "Gay Agenda" is a reverse euphemism.
Cause if they don't misrepresent things right out of the gate, then people might realize that it's just an issue of anti-gay people seeking to discriminate / harass gays who are only seeking equality.
