In 1987, at the height of Perestroika in the Soviet Union, another perestroika began in America. Two gay activists from Harvard University, one a public relations expert and the other a neuropsychiatrist, published an article titled " Rebuilding Straight America ," outlining the main points of a plan to transform the average American's social values ​​and attitudes toward homosexuality. This plan was adopted and approved in February 1988 at a "war conference" in Warrenton, where 175 leading gay activists from across the country met. Looking back, it can be said that their plan was not only successfully implemented but even exceeded: in 2011, the Obama administration declared "the fight for the rights of sexual minorities" a priority of American foreign policy, turning America into a global hotbed of LGBT* ideology, and in 2015, the US Supreme Court ordered all state governments to register and recognize same-sex marriages. The gay activists' plan was detailed in a 400-page book, " After the Ball: How America Conquered Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90s ." In his lecture, "The Political Power of the Global LGBT Movement: How Activists Achieved Their Goals," LGBT activist Igor Kochetkov (who is also a designated foreign agent) said that this work became the "ABCs" of LGBT activists around the world, including in Russia, and many still rely on these principles. Following are excerpts from the book and the preceding article. They will help consciously counter the extremist ideology of the LGBT movement.
