It's Not Like Being Black: How Sexual Activists Hijacked the Civil Rights Movement
From the author of the national bestseller Fault Lines comes a book that tackles the next big threat to the church from the social justice movement. It comes in the form of sexual identity movements like feminism and LGBTQIA+. Many elements have already infiltrated the church and must be identified and opposed. This book will equip you to do that.
Homosexual advocates first co-opted the civil rights movement to promote same-sex “marriage.” Now, with the nearly complete acceptance of Critical Social Justice, intersectionality, and myriad other streams of postmodern, neo-Marxist ideology, the transgender movement has taken the LGBTQIA+ agenda to new heights and threatens not only the family, but the church and the state as well. What’s worse, many Evangelical leaders, eager to appease the culture, have gone along with this strategy. This book shows believers what is happening, exposes the goals and consequences of the LGBTQIA+ agenda, and explains how to engage this ideology both inside and outside the church.

About the author
Voddie T. Baucham Jr.
28 books771 followersVoddie Baucham wears many hats. He is a husband, father, pastor, author, professor, conference speaker and church planter. He currently serves as Pastor of Preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, TX. He has served as an adjunct professor at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, TX, and Union University in Jackson, TN. He has also lectured at Southern Seminary.
Voddie makes the Bible clear and demonstrates the relevance of God’s word to everyday life. However, he does so without compromising the centrality of Christ and the gospel. Those who hear him preach find themselves both challenged and encouraged.
Voddie’s area of emphasis is Cultural Apologetics. Whether teaching on classical apologetic issues like the validity and historicity of the Bible, or the resurrection of Christ; or teaching on biblical manhood/ womanhood, marriage and family, he helps ordinary people understand the significance of thinking and living biblically in every area of life.
It is impossible to understand Voddie’s approach to the Bible without first understanding the path he has walked. Raised in a non-Christian, single-parent home, Voddie did not hear the gospel until he was in college. His journey to faith was a very unusual and intellectual one. Consequently, he understands what it means to be a skeptic, and knows what it’s like to try to figure out the Christian life without relying on the traditions of men. As a result, he speaks to ‘outsiders’ in ways few Bible teachers can.
Voddie Baucham holds degrees from Houston Baptist University (BA in Christianity/BA in Sociology), Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (D.Min.), an honorary degree from Southern California Seminary (D.D.), and additional post-graduate study at the University of Oxford, England (Regent’s Park College).
Voddie and his wife, Bridget have been married since 1989. They have six children, Jasmine L. Holmes, Trey (Voddie, III), Elijah, Asher, Judah, and Micah. They are committed home educators.

This is an important book, long overdue. Voddie states that he tried to get a book on this subject published many years ago but couldn’t find a publisher. Concise and well researched, I like that it isn’t so long as to set a barrier for people interested in this topic, which should be a pretty broad range of folks scratching their heads at the madness that hijacked the civil rights movement and has sought to hijack our entire culture, with way too much success. The historical background that Voddie lays out is informative and helpful, which gave me the context I needed.

Voddie Baucham (who himself is black) explains why being gay does not make you a minority or in the same category of those who fought for their civil rights back in the days of Martin Luther King Jr. As always, I enjoyed this book by the author and look forward to whatever else he puts out.

Fascinating, thorough, and eye-opening read.
Highly recommend. Some really rough stuff, but important to show the sinister origins and voices that are heralded in the movement.
As always with Voddie, the book exposes evil but offers True Hope and True Identity in Jesus.

I value this book for so many reasons.
Like many, I've been dumbfounded at the swift upheaval within our culture. Once established norms for sexual identity, which afforded people young and old stable boundaries, have been challenged as "social constructs." Life in recent society has been a bit like settling in to play a board game, such as Settlers or Monopoly--but different in that you've staked your full self and goods on how this match unfolds--and suddenly learning that other players plan to play by alternate rules they claim are equally valid to those included in the box; or perhaps, by rules they claim were originally intended for the game.
Dr. Baucham's book is tremendously helpful in bringing clarity to the issues surrounding the revolution over rules governing sexual identity and behavior. As the title suggests, he places greatest focus on arguing that the moral basis for restoring civil rights to blacks is entirely different, even altogether absent, when advocating that a union between a couple not composed of a biological male and a biological female should be recognized as "marriage."
To those (and I realize this isn't everyone!) who seek lasting truth and a comprehensive Biblical perspective that answers challenges such as "doesn't Jesus love everyone?" and "don't all the real prohibitions come from Paul, reflecting his biases?", the book offers guidance for how to navigate from the fog of uncertainty into Biblical surety.
The book serves, also, as a reminder of the history some of us never knew, others forgotten, that brought us to this moment. This includes the observations by Alfred Kinsey, who overwhelmingly recruited subjects from outside normative sexual behavior and encouraged sexual exploration without bounds, including pederasty, so he might weave a provocative story about what "normal" sexual behavior was. It includes the extension of Marxist "social construct" labels to the concepts of gender and sexual attraction, by philosophers (not scientists, and not armed with anything like scientific evidence) like Judith Butler and Michel Foucault, the latter alleged to have sexually abused boys in Tunisia. (It would seem obvious, in this case, one cannot separate Foucault's message from Foucault, the man.) Parents all over who simply cannot understand the drive within schools to sexualize K-3rd graders, will gain a new awareness of the pervasive "queer theology" that "justifies" (at least among teacher unions and officials in the U.S. Dept. of Education) Trans Story Hour, books in the elementary school library which encourage sexual awakening, and the like. The author provides a frank description of the dangers surrounding anal intercourse and how, when the AIDS epidemic was raging among homosexual males, an open strategy was articulated to use whatever means necessary, including lies, to turn tragedy into propoganda-driven revolution and, ultimately, power. The implementation, as well as the successes, of that strategy over the past 35 years are manifest; a short book exposes only the tip of the iceberg.
Baucham addresses two conjectures that are widely accepted without question. The first is the axiom, pervasive in almost every discussion on sexual attraction, that it is immutable, unchangeable like the color of one's skin. Baucham states openly what almost every journalist, politician, and social scientist obscures: that though much time and effort has been spent trying to establish sexual attraction as immutable, no link has been found between it and a person's physical makeup. The second is the related axiom that one's sexual proclivity is so ingrained in who she is, it amounts to harmful abuse to try to help that person resist, let alone change, even when the person asks for that sort of assistance. Baucham highlights two strong voices that refute this second axiom, and points to the true light of the Gospel when he affirms that real healing, whatever the form, is found in Jesus Christ.
If you "know that you know what you know", and you consequently wish to keep hidden that the movement toward "gay rights" begun more than a half century ago is not, in fact, about ushering in the ability to have alt-sexual relations legally, but is about imposing a new religion in place of the Judeo-Christian norms that were once foundational, then you will not appreciate that Baucham has brought into the light that which was hidden. But for those who have not succumbed to the religion of Marxist anarchy, but who believe in truth, or in the passing of culture from old to young, or in the Bible, or in the U.S.A as it was founded more than 200 years ago, or in the reasoned principles of Western Civilization, a thorough read of the book is a valuable use of your time, whether you immediately agree with all of the author's conclusions or not. It represents a step in the direction of reasoned discourse.

Very compelling page turner! Hard content but easy to read, a must for everyone. Not just for those in church, but for those with children, for those who teach, for those in the corporate world and those people wondering why we are where we are in our culture. How did we get here and when did it all begin?

This book is easy to listen to, and I gathered a lot of information. Interestingly, he mentions a situation from a certain person that I read in a different book called Random Acts of Medicine. The second book is not Christian, and yet both pull from a specific example of just how wrong a lot of of this has been. This is a great book and encourage anyone to read it.

In "It’s Not Like Being Black," apologist and pastor Dr. Voddie T. Baucham Jr. holds a microscope to the insidious inner-workings of the contemporary U. S. civil rights movement. Beginning with indigenous princess Pocahontas’s well-documented conversion to Christianity and voluntary interracial marriage with John Rolfe in the 1600’s, he selects crucial crossroads in our country’s religious and political history to turn everything we thought we knew about sexual politics on its head. From the Loving family’s heart-rending battle to repeal U.S. anti-miscegenation laws in the 1950’s, to Alfred Kinsey’s infamous sexual research only a few years later, to 2024 California’s mandatory gender and sexuality inclusivity education regardless of parental approval, Dr. Baucham shows that LGBTQIA + advocates have characteristically had ulterior motives for supporting what began as a biblically-based racial justice movement. These revelations may shock some and confirm the suspicions of others, but they force all Christians seeking to uphold God’s design for sex and marriage to ask the same question: “How shall we then live?”
As a full-time K-12 educator, I think "It’s Not Like Being Black" is a must-read for anyone raising their children in school systems that are receiving copious funding, expert training, and increasing legal rights to enforce a virulently anti-Christian worldview. Instead of merely ranting against liberal ideology, which history has shown to be a losing strategy, Dr. Baucham will make the best use of your precious (and likely limited) time by focusing on where we have defaulted on our roles as parents and church communities, and how we can return to following God’s pattern for raising strong, grounded kids in the future. And this book isn’t just for parents. I think it’s also literal gold for any discipler, college ministry leader, or thoughtful adult who wants to better understand the history behind the bewildering sexual paradigm shift that’s occurred in the past few decades. The better we understand how we got here, the more wisely and winsomely we can give an answer for the hope we still have as Christ-followers (1 Peter 3:15).
A note to parents: Dr. Baucham does quote some of Alfred Kinsey’s pedophilic sexual research extensively in one of his opening chapters. Several quotes are graphic almost to the point of being pornographic, although Dr. Baucham justifies this by saying he is trying to bring Kinsey’s disgusting criminal nature to light and to disprove those liberal LGBTQIA + advocates who still revere Kinsey’s “scientific” proof that same-sex attraction is an immutable characteristic. I will let adult readers decide whether or not they agree with Dr. Baucham’s rationale, but I would advise against handing the book to a teenager for unsupervised reading. Instead, selected readings from relevant chapters, or at least making time to discuss the more adult content, might help circumvent harmful sexual curiosity.

The most important book you'll read this year
If the only thing in this book was the author's exposition of Romans 13, that would be enough to heartily recommend it as required reading for all believers, as such teaching has been sorely missing from so many churches in recent years. That said, the book contains so much more.
Three years ago Baucham managed an impressive feat with his publication of Fault Lines, in that it was the most comprehensive history of the critical social justice movement, while at the same time being remarkably approachable for the average reader. This latest book is then a fitting successor, in that it provides a thorough history of the LGBTQIA2S+ movement, with sufficient detail for readers of all walks of life to understand the development of ideas across time, while not diving so deep into any given area that readers are left feeling like they've tumbled after Alice down the rabbit hole. There were times when I wished the author would've gone into more detail (on historical misunderstandings regarding ethnic distinctions in the past, the various moral failings of leaders of the civil rights movement that have been whitewashed over time, the depraved sexual motivations underpinning the post-modern philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simon de Beauvoir, to name a few), but for the intrepid reader, he provides 300+ end notes for further study.
When encountering ideas out in the world today---whether in conversation with friends and neighbors, or through literature, movies, music, artwork, etc.---believers need to be able to ask and attempt to answer a number of questions: (1) What's good or bad here? (2) Why is it good or bad? (3) Where do these ideas come from? (4) What purposes do these ideas serve? Baucham masterfully walks readers through these questions and answers for everything under the sexual identity umbrella. Christians must be prepared, both now and always, to stand firm for truth. This book can help you do just that.
Maturity warning: This book contains graphic details, particularly in Chapter 3, of the heinous actions of certain intellectual thought leaders. I agree with the author that such details are necessary to help the reader understand the depths of depravity and the evil spiritual strongholds behind phrases as innocuously sounding as "love is love." Some may recoil at shining a light directly on such perverse details, but Baucham handles it with care, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more skeletons stashed away in closets if you go looking for them. All that said, I wouldn't recommend the book to a reader who doesn't have the maturity to handle it, and for any reader, I would recommend intentionally scheduling time to do something uplifting immediately after reading.

First and foremost, this book is all parties who have been impacted and will be impacted by the goals of sexual activism (read "everyone")
Within its pages, Voddie objectively addresses links between the movement of sexual activists with marriage as a biblical institution, key players in the sexual minority movement, the fallacies that must be accepted in order for one to acknowledge the claims the movement makes as truth, the strategic targeting of children in its advancement, and standing on Biblical truth matters despite what government and popular culture declare.
Of all of the topics this book covers comprehensively, here are just a portion of the ones I found most compelling:
-How Critical Theory groups Christianity with hegemonic power structures and thusly oppression
-The lack of scientific evidence supporting the idea that those claiming a letter within the sexual minority acronym are doing so because their sexual orientation is unchangeable (just like the color of one’s skin)
-By grouping sexual orientation with race, laws that protect marriage as a Biblical institution are just temporary placeholders that must eventually give way
-Just how much of the revolution we’re seeing was influenced by Alfred Kinsey (if you don’t know his work, Google his research methods regarding children)
-How the current acronym utilized by sexual activists is an acknowledgement of and attempt not to offend all the sexual minorities waiting in the wings whose proclivities have yet to be destigmatized (including “minor attracted persons”
-Language as we understand it being redefined to lessen the respect and value marriage between someone who was born male and someone who was born female by using words like “partner”
-The understanding the movement has regarding how important it is to indoctrinate and expose children to its belief systems
-The fallacy behind the argument that we are simply concerning ourselves with “what other people do in private” and how TV, culture, and the practice of an entire month supporting the movement undermine it

I am so thankful for brave Christians like Voddie, who not only is NOT ashamed of the Gospel, but also is courageous in standing for truth. Like his previous book, Fault Lines, this book is well researched and documented, so critics can’t say this is just an emotional diatribe against the LGBTQIA+ community. Facts, pure and simple – and many of them come from their own community.
I must admit I was completely appalled in reading about Alfred Kinsey, the author of the “gold standard” for understanding human sexuality in 1948. Turns out this was one sick, twisted and evil dude – who likely should have been in prison for the “research” he did. Then, there was John Money, a doctor at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, who, in reality, should have had his license revoked for the twisted things he did to children. Honestly, I was so disgusted in reading of the evil of these two (and I know there’s more). If I were in the LGBTQIA+ community, I’d certainly NOT be espousing praises for either of these two humans.
It was very interesting to learn about how two Harvard professors, who taught marketing and psychology (and btw, both homosexuals), decidedly mapped out how they were going to turn the tables on society with their gay agenda, in a book called "After the Ball: How America Will Overcome Its Fear And Hatred of Gays in the 90s". Their tactics were Brainwashing 101 and most never saw it coming.
I respect Voddie’s approach to this topic – like he’s been on a fact-finding mission, always well researched and documented (the book has 21 pages of references in the ‘End Notes’ section). Finally, I love how he is always bringing it back to scripture – the undeniable truth!
Whatever genre you’re into in your reading, you need to stop reading what you’re reading and get this book! It’s about what’s going on all around you. Today. Now. Right in front of your eyes. So, open them – and see the truth, OR, you could put your head back in the sand...

Put down what you are reading and pick up this new book by Dr Voddie Baucham.
In this latest work by Dr Baucham he lays out the key figures, the strategies, and the methods employed in bringing us to where we are now.
The cultural revolution that we have been living through in the west was not the result of organic, sound reasoning by innocent truth seekers. Rather there has been a deliberate drive to move the mind of the public away from a Christian basis for morality and reason and toward a Marxist worldview.
This is not conspiracy theory. With hundreds of citations from original sources, Voddie does not leave room for speculation. The bent of The Academy and political actors over the decades has been to change the very way that we relate to truth and judge the morals of the nation.
As I read this book and the citations in it I could not help but marvel at the effectiveness of the strategies employed. The people who set out to change the culture knew well what was necessary. If nothing else their understanding of what they were working with has to be admired though their motives must be held in contempt.
Voddie finishes his work by providing comfort and guidance to believers and to those struggling with the topics in this book. Some of the passages will be hard to read but Dr Baucham is not fear-mongering. Rather he is clearing the path and drawing us back to our First Love.
I can hardly commend this book any higher. Read it.
In this latest work by Dr Baucham he lays out the key figures, the strategies, and the methods employed in bringing us to where we are now.
The cultural revolution that we have been living through in the west was not the result of organic, sound reasoning by innocent truth seekers. Rather there has been a deliberate drive to move the mind of the public away from a Christian basis for morality and reason and toward a Marxist worldview.
This is not conspiracy theory. With hundreds of citations from original sources, Voddie does not leave room for speculation. The bent of The Academy and political actors over the decades has been to change the very way that we relate to truth and judge the morals of the nation.
As I read this book and the citations in it I could not help but marvel at the effectiveness of the strategies employed. The people who set out to change the culture knew well what was necessary. If nothing else their understanding of what they were working with has to be admired though their motives must be held in contempt.

The Test of Any Culture's Viability Over the Moral Issue of Our Day...
According to the world's subjective logic, redefining a term that is already fixed (“marriage”) means that *any* term is up for grabs to be sanitized and redefined according to the arbitrary feelings of the levers of power. The test of a culture / moral war will answer: Where does the strength of its argument lie? In the “accuracy of its comparison” or in the “effectiveness of its propaganda?”
Example: Making sexual proclivities and preferences equivalent to race… the final frontier for civil rights. This is the main emphasis of Voddie Baucham’s new book, “It’s Not Like Being Black.”
Drawing on examples from antimiscegenation, Kinsey, Money, and “After the Ball,” Baucham outlines the strategy of activists changing biblical societal norms through jamming, conversion, and coercion. He discusses the contradictory nature of the sexual revolution’s worldview and it’s push for inclusion, even tracing the history back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s.
Baucham returns readers to a biblical worldview and God’s design for marriage, gender, and sexuality. He reveals the importance of sanctification through the good news of the gospel and how to honor God in repentance. Baucham concludes with encouraging Christians to protect children, promote (true) marriage, suffer well, and be ready to give biblical answers to all.

Voddie Baucham writes with so much passion and vigor that it is honestly super entertaining. The basic premise of the book is that the gay rights movement based the majority of their legal arguments on the same legal foundation as the civil rights movement. Baucham argues that this is an invalid argument since being gay is nothing like being black as far as immutable characteristics are concerned. The first part of the book is basically a historical/political comparison of the gay rights movement to the civil rights movement and the difference in their premises. He then continues the book analyzing it from a more explicitly Christian point of view. Because there is no debatable "moral" aspect of being any specific race and, he argues, there is a "moral" aspect of being gay, he concludes that you can't base the fight for rights of these two groups on the same fundamental principles. Just because both groups have been historically marginalized, does not make their claims for "progress" equal. Baucham himself being a black man, clearly seems to feel as if it's an insult to black people for the gay rights movement to assume it is extremely similar in form to the civil rights movement.
Overall interesting read.

This is a well-documented book regarding the left-wing activist agenda to normalize all types of sexual identities and behavior with the goal of desensitizing the culture as well as indoctrinating and sexualizing children. Using the guise of the civil rights movement, activists claim that sexual minorities face the same discrimination as blacks have over the years. Voddie Baucham, however, dispels these claims using scripture, facts, and statistics. He cites that while skin color is an immutable characteristic, sexual identity is not; thus, the two groups should not be lumped into the same category. Using Supreme Court case examples, he demonstrates his knowledge of these issues and how far down the path America has traveled from our founding fathers. Using Scripture, he affirms that God alone defines marriage which is between one man and one woman. America, sadly, is headed down a slippery slope, directed by left-wing activists, in which soon all forms of sexual relationships and behaviors will be recognized, all defended as “civil rights.” This is an important book for all Christians to read in order to open our eyes to what the world is calling normal and fight against it.

Understanding and responding to the times
In 1 Chronicles 12:32 we read “of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do”. This book is an excellent and thorough exposition of the times in which we live. In my judgment one of the most important statements book is found on page 158 “We simply do not believe it is appropriate (or necessary) to consult the Bible when it comes to marriage and family”. The first lie told on the face of the earth was in essence that the word of God was both not true nor relevant “You will not surely die”. Following on the heels of that was the second line that said in essence that the command of God was restrictive, oppressive and limiting human potential, “you will be like God…” Voddie clearly demonstrates our culture having embraced first lie is now taking the second lie to its logical conclusion. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about understanding this present hour and how to respond to it biblically.

Wow!
Voddie’s new book, is that of a cold shower.
It is both edifying and awakening. It gives readers an opportunity to revise their core belief systems and question their personal ideologies.
He brings light to some of the difficulties that Christian families face in dealing with the stigma surrounding the unbiblical expectation to accept others homosexual lifestyle.
I found the book to be an incredible roadmap for Christians that may not be sure on what their stance should be on the homosexual agenda or may find the political agenda of the LGBTQIA2S+ community damning.
The parallels drawn between blackness and homosexuality in America is offensive. Voddie deliberately distinguishes between the two and puts others to shame that might compare homosexuality to blackness.
He touches on the original design of a Christian family, the sanctification of marriage and the sexuality meant to be explored within the confines of a biblical marriage.
Ultimately it is a remarkable read.

This book is an absolutely crucial read for anyone who wants to see the true origins and motivations behind the LGBT movement. Voddie Baucham's point is simple: some things about a person, like their skin color, are immutable, while other things, like sexual attraction, are not. It's been proven scientifically, and patently ignored by certain people who choose to deny science whenever it conflicts with their desires. Looking at the incredible depravity that has turned the tide of society's views of sexuality is enough to make any decent person sick. Not to mention, it's beyond arrogant for humans to assume we know better than our creator, which is ruthlessly demonstrated when you get down to brass tacks about what this movement actually leads to. (Spoilers: too late to hide yo wives, but hide yo kids NOW).
I recommend this book to everyone because it fearlessly showcases elements of the truth that many people are scared of or completely resistant to. Nobody wins when people deny truth - is that really worth some temporary gratification?

One of the late author's finest works, "It's Not Like Being Black" refines nearly everything Baucham developed over the previous decades regarding social commentary and integrates it into one book. As Baucham says, the book really started in the 2000's as propositions in several states threatened to defend or alter the legal definition of marriage. Because of this, it reads both as a vindication of evangelicals' warnings the Sexual Revolution's downward spiral as well as a set of further predictions, using the logical conclusion of arguments posed today, of what's to come next. He does an excellent job using biblical, rational, historical, and scientific evidence to support his theses, giving readers a wealth of historical and modern evidence demonstrating the damage done in uprooting Biblical sexuality. While Baucham authored many excellent pieces during his lifetime, if you were to read just one, this should arguably be it.

This book is a pivotal work, skillfully prepared to enlighten the churches. It is informative, Educational, and biblically sound, assisting laymen and the church to be aware of cultural movements that have redefined God's law for moral justification. The impact of cultural Marxism, redefining marriage, sexual minorities, and woke agendas has confused the church. Many leaders in the church and society need an articulate, informative, relevant book. Dr. Baucham's book does just that from beginning to end. As a leader and teacher in the church, I know this is a MUST READ!
Thank you, Dr. Voddie Baucham, for having the courage and heart to continue your stance on this issue.
Rev. Dr. Lane, Pastor

I stumbled across this book after watching a video that a friend shared with me. I’d never heard of this author before and was interested in his thoughts. I purchased the audio version and began to listen.
Within minutes, I sat stunned at the level of information and research being shared. As an LCSW, I’m always interested in evidence-based information concerning social issues. This book illuminated how easily an idea can be ‘highjacked’ for different purposes…quietly and with focused intentionality.
I found his thoroughly-researched stance to have a solid foundation, thus I highly, highly recommend this book.

Well researched and Biblically sound
I read this with a virtual book club from The Center for Biblical Unity. As usual, Baucham presents Biblical truth unapologetically with receipts. Every Christian must read this book, full of difficult truths about our culture, yet punctuated with hope! He specifically refutes the lie that "sexual orientation" is an immutable characteristic just like race. He shows the receipts of how activists have used critical theory over the decades to change public perception on a multitude of sexual behaviors and redefine words our Judeo-Christian society used to take for granted.

Voddie brings it in this book detailing how culture shifted over the decades to bring us where we are in the sexual and gender revolution. He pulls back the curtain and shows the evil for what it is. Voddie does an excellent job of "out-truthing" the lie. He juxtaposes what culture says, what progressive Christianity preaches vs. what the Bible and historic, orthodox Christianity teaches. The book explains how people have been swept up in this evil ideology that is leading many astray. I highly recommend it. Great book to read during the month of June.

I really enjoyed this book! I was very shocked to learn some of the information in the book, particularly about the roots of the LGBT movement and how it’s become as pervasive as it has. I like that Vodie outlines the tactics that are used to redefine marriage, the use of “clobber passages”, and provides clarity on OT laws. He also does a wonderful job at staying rooted in Biblical truth throughout the book! I appreciate that an entire chapter of this book was dedicated to clearly laying out God’s design for marriage. Would definitely read again!

Dr. Voddie Baucham’s book is a clarion call to all churches, pastors, school districts, administrators, and teachers, to parents and to anyone living in this present age: “Wake up!!!” Dr. Baucham wades through the mud and the muck to expose the hollow, deceptive, and evil philosophies colliding within our nation and spilling into our lives. He has exposed the lies and with his pastor’s heart has outlined the way forward.
June 16, 2024
Dr. Baucham's excellent writing and use of logic, which seems to be a lost art, sheds clear light on the LGBTetc. movement's agenda. Using the authority of Scripture, Dr. Baucham details exactly why the agenda is wrong and why we cannot lump the civil rights movement of the 60s with the LGBT movement. Christians tempted to embrace the LGBT movement, or who are already doing so, under the guise of "Christian love" would do well to read "It's Not Like Being Black...".

Dr Baucham exposes what evil work has been done in the past, and is still being done today, to explain how we got to this point in time in our culture. I find this book relevant as a christian and as a mom. It has helped me to see how much more I need to protect my child from certain things and ideas, and it has also showed me how I should be more aware of the tactics used to make us accept that which is evil as that which is good, without realising that that is what you are supporting

A needed book for a very important topic of our times. Baucham outlines why the sexual activist movement is not at all like the civil rights movement, even though that is a narrative they try to use for their exceptance.
The first section of the book is dedicated to refuting thi tactic. The second traces how the movement has grown while the third is about how to move forward as Christians. Very relevant.

A very sad and disturbing read, much of this is Dr. Baucham pointing to the left and saying SEE?!?!?!?!?
The entire thesis of the book is predicated on the fact that sexuality is not inherent. There is no evidence that people are born gay. Despite decades of research, billions of dollars, and scientists wanting and expecting to find something; there is no correlation between homosexuality and someone's DNA. Therefore, being gay is not the same as being black.
That being said, let's go through the sections of the book.
The first section is the foundation for the LGBT movement. To absolutely no one's surprise the foundation is built on lies, propaganda, pedophilia, perverts, and shoddy science. The homosexual revolution was started by men who deserved to be in prison, Alfred Kinsey molested children and is still regarded as a leading expert in sexuality. All of the founders of this movement had the purpose of having sex with children.
To spread the movement, they used the AIDS epidemic to garner sympathy for the homosexuals. They declared "minority" status, which has absolutely nothing to do with math or numbers and is a political term, and then changed the language (we no longer call them sodomites, they also redefined love, and the basis for marriage).
The group now uses this every growing acronym which Voddie breaks down. I didn't know some of them, but the entire thing is a snake eating its own tail. Some of the letters contradict each other, how can sex be inherited and immutable as the gays would have us believe and be an everchanging spectrum. The entire lie for the past 70 years has been that sexuality cannot (and should not) be changed, but they change it constantly, and that change only goes towards homosexuality never away from it. The other problem is the Q within the name, it's entire goal is to tear down the system of sexuality entirely. So how can a system celebrate the idea of tearing down the system? It doesn't make any sense.
This first section also breaks down the illogical connection between "gay-marriage" and interracial marriage. He explains how the two are not connected and not the same. However, as society believes they are connected, the future does not look bright for people who would stand against the homosexual agenda.
The first section is the largest and most important part of this book. Everything else is going to elaborate on those ideas or respond to them.
The second section expands upon the conspiracy used to attain this status for homosexuals. It is in your schools, it is in your churches, it is every where and they have built an entire propaganda arm to force those who disagree into submission and turn your children against you.
All of the ideology is wrapped up in communist/Marxist philosophy. With a lot of jargon and empty slogans, meaningless and convoluted sentences that add nothing but make the people feel superior. They are all lacking in a ton of logic and critical thinking.
"Gay-marriage" is a farce. There is no such thing, the government does not have the right or the power to change a system that has been in place for all of human history. The entire thing is an affront to God and signals the end of western civilization, which is built on logic and reasoning. This is all post-modern and feelings based.
Finally, the third section falls more into a solution section.
First, the solution is built upon the Bible. Sexual activists choose to use the bible when it fits their needs, and point to the Bible to try to make their points, therefore it is only right to use the Bible in the correct capacity to argue against this movement.
Rest assured, the Bible does not condone homosexuality, it is an abomination to the Lord, now and forever. Most poor hermeneutics stem from redefining what "love" means and not using the term as God used it. There is also the problem with people not understanding how the Old Testament should be read. They don't know their Bibles, and they misuse them to get their point across. Not a surprise, but very frustrating to see happening in real time.
We are called to stand up for the sanctity of marriage. Marriage between a man and a woman is reflection of Christ's love for the church, it is a holy union that reveals God's great love for us. We should never stop fighting to preserve the sanctity of marriage.
Finally, we are called to:
1. Protect your children- make no mistake, they are coming for your children. Either to convert them or to straight up rape them. Your children are the frontlines for this war.
2. Defend marriage- do not passively allow sin to grow, but be willing to stand up for God's design for marriage.
3. Be willing to suffer- we will be called bigots and homophobes.
4. Have an answer- if you are challenged, be ready to defend Biblical marriage.
A couple of other interesting points. If you've never read Christopher Yuan and/or Rosaria Butterfield, they are well worth the time.
Also, I did not know all of the problems with anal sex. Voddie gets a bit descriptive, but it is well worth the read. Part of the linguistic change is to focus you away from what they are actually doing and instead focus on "marriage."
The homosexual movement is scary. This is the signal for the end of our civilization. Kevin Swanson's Epoch basically says that homosexuality and abortion are the two keys to destroying any civilization. At this rate, I'd imagine we don't have long.
Very scary stuff.

It's a good book that covers all the usual material you'd expect in a Christian response to cultural sexuality. My complaint is that its title (although perhaps not its subtitle) leads you to assume it will focus more on the discussion between immutable and mutable trait differentiation, but there was only as much as that as you'd expect in any book covering sexuality (this one didn't really specialize in it).

“…God is not running for office! He is the sovereign ruler of the universe and needs permission from no man.”
This was a thorough dissection of the history and strategy of the LGBTQIA+ movement. Dr Bauchham brings Scripture to bear on each point, arguing for the supremacy and authority of God’s Word over every part of sexual ethics.
