Top Music Artists Push Homosexual Agenda

(AgapePress) - Over 30 music artists spanning a broad spectrum of generations and genres are singing in one accord on a recently released album titled "Love Rocks."
Although the two-disk CD set is a compilation of 32 different songs from some of the nation's top names in the music industry, the artists are harmonious in the pro-homosexual message they are voicing.
The CD was scheduled for release February 8, just prior to Valentine's Day, by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and the HRC Foundation in partnership with Centaur Entertainment. One hundred percent of the album's net proceeds will go toward HRC's push for "equality." The HRC is the nation's largest "gay," lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights organization.
"The artists who joined together to create 'Love Rocks' understand, like millions of Americans, that commitment should be treated with dignity, respect and equality," said Gregory Lewis, an HRC associate director who managed the project.
For example, singer and actress Mandy Moore, who is a contributor to the CD, said, "Humankind has its problems, but love isn't one of them.
"When two people -- regardless of gender -- long to care for each other, to protect each other, to treasure each other, we should do everything we can to foster that. I'm proud to be part of this album, which does just that."
Yoko Ono, who sings "Every Man Has a Man," is also swelling with pride to be able to use the CD as a megaphone for her beliefs.
"The Constitution of this country is based on human rights and justice and freedom ...," Ono said. "For [politicians] to say, 'OK, we're going to change the Constitution so the gays can't get married,' I think it is outrageous .... I just immediately started to feel that it was important to send that message out that anybody can fall in love regardless of the difference of religion, or race, or sex, or age. Love is love. It's beautiful."
But according to Melissa Fryrear, a former lesbian and now a gender issues analyst at Focus on the Family, the CD's connotation of the word "love" is deceptive.
"Gay activists are trying to find an argument that carries emotional weight: 'love,' after all, sounds good to everyone," Fryrear said. "... Their definition is meant to mean the acceptance and the celebration of homosexuality."
Due to the blatant agenda of the CD and the artists behind it, Fryrear views the project as "another example of celebrities using their platforms to promote the liberal ideological agenda that equates homosexuality with heterosexuality."
Other artists featured on the CD include: Christina Aguilera, Pink, Dixie Chicks, Carole King, Melissa Etheridge, Kimberly Locke, Dolly Parton, and Randi Driscoll, who sings an arrangement of the hymn "Amazing Grace" combined with her single, "What Matters."
