An open letter to Alcoholics Anonymous

Here are some thoughts this morning. Certainly, the homosexual population ( I don't want to use the word Gay to describe something that certainly isn't gay) has a major
problem with drinking or "Alcoholism" if you will.The question is what to do about it. AA's response these last 30 years has been allowing Gay AA meetings to be listed as "special purpose" meetings. Something that did not happen in AA's early history. It looks like a good thing doesn't it? After all, the homosexual suffering from alcoholism is thrown a life saver and , no doubt, some or even many stop drinking. But is that real love for the Homosexual Alcoholic?
Some would say yes no doubt. It really boils down to whether or not you believe Homosexuality is intrinsically immoral or not. 2000 years of Christian tradition and teaching says that it is.If homosexuality is intrinsically evil, then by giving them a stamp of approval and acceptance that would not be the essence of true love for them would it? In fact, you would be encouraging their aberrant behaviour.

No sane person would argue that thieves or adulters be given thier own special purpose meetings would they? Many alcoholics are thieves when they come to AA. I was. Probably most
are. In fact, I could present a powerful argument that I was born a thief since it started at a relatively young age. So why shouldn't thieves have their own special purpose meetings?.
After all, they have their own special problems and many do not want to stop stealing.

How does AA deal with thieves that are alcoholics? Generally, people are encouraged to stop drinking, take a fearless and searching moral inventory, and commit their lives to God. They are discouraged from stealing arent they? In other words, they are encouraged towards self-
examination and change. I might even use the word "Repentance". That is love isn't it? It is correction. In fact, a powerful argument could be made that correction is the essence of true love. After all, isn't that what good Parents do for their children? Isn't that what God does for us?

Therein lies the rub. AA, as a matter of group policy, does not correct Homosexuals. It accepts them the way they are. It doesn't do that with thieves, adulterers, or other sinners. It only does it with homosexuals. Why? Because radical homosexuals, to proud to admit they were wrong,
pushed for it for years and liberal elements within AA gave in to it. So AA has become like some of the more liberal and heretical "Christian" denominations":Metropolitan Community Church, Episcopal Church, or the Reformed Catholic Church. AA hides behind the tradition 10 "Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into
public controversy."

If asked I'm sure representative at World Services would say that AA has no position on the homosexual controversy raging in our society at large. But what they say conflicts with what they do by their actions. I accuse Alcoholics Anonymous World Services of equating being
Homosexual with being Black or American Indian. I accuse Alcoholics Anonymous World Services of not adhering to the tradition that "Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues" through a cooperative relationship with the Internation Advisory of Homosexual Men and Women in Alcoholics Anonymous. accuse Alcoholics Anonymous World Services of promoting the radical homosexual agenda in violation of AA traditions. I accuse AA members involved in Round Up committes of promoting the acceptance of homosexuality. I accuse AA of promoting the acceptance of homosexuality in conference approved literature. I accuse AA of promoting the acceptance of homosexuality in a personal story in the fourth edition of the the Big Book. I accuse AA members of a failure to speak out about this in AA
meetings.I accuse AA of a failure to love.
