Has a subconscious need to seek out and destroy in others through violence, murder, hurtful behaviors , what he cannot tolerate in himself. Pattern Two: Terror — Strives to appear straight acting and appearance. Lifelong self-hatred, avoidance of H. Pattern Three: Wretched Excess — Go overboard with exaggerated effeminate behaviors, shock tactics, etc.

Picture-Label Pair: group images and labels together in the mind, e. Step 8: Rationalization. Rationalization is learned after hatred, so you cannot persuade someone to stop being prejudice by reason!!! Conscious raising: a. Arguments cannot change feelings, only beliefs. Arguments with facts is a waste of time. Experience the feared thing in small increments over time, then the fear peters out. Emotional appeal works. Highly intelligent can step outside themselves and analyze their feelings, the causes of their feelings, and modulate them.

Argument creates negative reaction and reinforces their prejudice negative emotion when feel threatened. Cannot disprove the Bible, validity of the Bible, or other authoritative sources of moral judgment. Storming the Barricades a. Solving problems with fists is ill advised. Acts of violence reinforce prejudice. Gender Bending a. You hammer in the wedge narrow end first. Desensitization: a. Warns tribal mammals that a potential alien mammal is in the vicinity and should be fought or fled.

If H present themselves as different and threatening, then straights go on alert and fight against them. To desensitize straights, H inundate them with conscious flood of H related advertising, presented in the least offensive fashion. Jamming: a. Insertion of incompatible emotion into the pre-existing system. Like sprinkling sand into a pocket watch.

Jamming is more active and aggressive than desensitization. And second, the Internal Dissonance will tend to inhibit over expression of the prejudicial emotion — which is, in itself, useful and relieving. All normal people feel shame when they perceive that they are not thinking, feeling, or acting like one of the pack. The trick is to get the bigot into the position of feeling a conflicting twinge of shame, along with his reward, whenever his homohatred surfaces, so that his reward will be diluted or spoiled.

It can depict H experiencing horrific suffering as the direct result of homohatred — suffering of which even most bigots would be ashamed to be the cause. It can, in short, link homohating bigotry with all sorts of attributes the bigot would be ashamed to possess, and with social consequences he would find unpleasant and scary.

The attack, therefore, is on self-image and on the pleasure in hating. This wrinkle effectively elicits shame and doubt; Jamming any pleasure he might normally feel. In a very real sense, every time a bigot sees such a thing, he is unlearning a little bit of the lesson of prejudice taught him by his parents and peers.

Effect of Jamming, is achieved without reference to facts, logic or proof. Through repeated infralogical emotional conditioning, his bigotry can be alloyed in exactly the same way, whether he is conscious of the attack or not. In short, Jamming succeeds insofar as it inserts even a slight frisson of doubt and shame into the previously unalloyed, self-righteous pleasure. Need massive public exposure of the message to succeed. Conversion a. Desensitization aims at lowering the intensity of antiH emotional reactions to a level approximating sheer indifference.

Both of these techniques are preludes to our highest — though necessarily very long-range — goal, which is conversion. If Desensitization lets the watch run down, and Jamming throws sand in the works, Conversion reverses the spring so that the hands run backward. The image must be that of an icon or normality — a good beginning would be to take a long look at Coors beer and Three Musketeers candy commercials.

Subsequent ads can branch out from that solid basis to include really adorable, athletic teenagers, kindly grandmothers, avuncular policemen, ad infinitem. But, here, the good picture has the bad label — H! At worst, the two will cancel one another, and we will have successfully Jammed, as above. At best, Associative Conditioning will, to however small an extent, transfer the positive emotion associated with the picture to the label itself, not immediately replacing the negative response, but definitely weakening it.

The reason is simple: pictures are stronger than words and evoke emotional responses more powerfully. Moreover, he will, by virtue of logical necessity, see the positive picture in the ad before it can arouse his negative picture, and first impressions have an advantage over second.

In a way, most advertisement is founded upon an answer of Yes, definitely! Learn from Madison Avenue, to roll out the big guns! The term propaganda applies to any deliberate attempt to persuade the masses via public communications media. Its function is not to perpetrate, but to propagate; to propagate, that is, to spread new ideas and feelings or reinforce old ones which may themselves be either evil or good depending on their purpose and effect.

The purpose and effect of progay propaganda is to promote a climate of increased tolerance for H. Three characteristics distinguish propaganda from other modes of communication and contribute to its sinister reputation: 1 Relies on emotional manipulation — through desensitization, jamming and conversion; 2 Use lies, and 3 Subjective and one-sided. Tell our side of the story as movingly as possible.

In the battle for hearts and minds, effective propaganda knows enough to put its best foot forward. This is what our own media campaign must do. Must train leaders, national workshops for full acceptance in America. Principle goal of the campaign is to gain tolerance and acceptance by straight community. Show, in the media, that H community lives by an ethical code in order to achieve our goal of tolerance and acceptance.

Jamming means interrupting the smooth workings of bigotry by inducing inconsistent feelings in the bigot. Once these dynamics get going, displays of homohatred suddenly become off-color and boorish. Thus, when H come out, they help transform the social climate from one that support prejudice to one that shuts homohaters up. To make straights actually like and accept H as a group, enabling straights to identify with them.

Coming out is the key to sociopolitical empowerment, the ability of the gay community to control its own destiny.

Coming out process is too slow so we also need a national media campaign. After meeting enough likeable H on TV, Jane Doe may begin to feel she knows H as a group, even if none has ever introduced himself to her personally.

Thwart bigotry. Carefully crafted, repeatedly displayed mass-media images of H could conceivably do even more to reverse negative stereotypes than could the incremental coming out of one person to another.

The media campaign will work well in tandem with the Everyone Comes Out strategy because it is actually a catalyst to coming out. Two different avenues to gay liberation: Education i. This is, by far, the most important task; 2 Challenge homohating beliefs and actions on a not too intellectual level.

Remember, the rational message serves to camouflage our underlying emotional appeal, even as it pares away the surrounding latticework of beliefs that rationalize bigotry; and 3 Gain access to the kinds of public media that would automatically confer legitimacy upon these messages and, therefore, upon their gay sponsors.

To be accepted by the most prestigious media, such as network TV, or messages themselves will have to be — at least initially — both subtle in purpose and crafty in construction. Genuine public outreach requires careful communication. Key: Put yourself in the listeners shoes. Straights must be helped to believe that you and they speak the same language. Dress and speak like them. Silence those that oppose homosexuality Intransigents because of their religious beliefs.
