In the US, the term "the gay agenda" was first used in public discourse in 1992 when the Family Research Council released a video series called The Gay Agenda as part of a pack of materials campaigning on homosexual issues and the "hidden gay agenda".
So
the Family Research Council, armed with a video and a Bible, set out to
destroy homosexuality - and homosexuals in the process. And the
inspiration for violence might have come from the Book of Revelations. Hence the Four Horsemen
The Four Horsemen of the Homosexual Agenda:
Perkins (Fear), Cameron, (Deception), Nicolosi (Hypocrisy) and Lively (Malevolence).
So the homosexual agenda was fabricated by the Family Research Council in 1992. The FRC also featured a rising star for their anti-gay agenda: Paul Cameron.
[Cameron] appeared in the video, wherein he asserted that 75 percent of gay men regularly ingest feces and that 70-78 percent have had a sexually transmitted disease.
He also taught that Alfred Kinsey's studies were skewed because he believed Kinsey to be gay. The gay agenda was stretched into a trilogy (of terror) and Paul Cameron made the rounds of Christian Right organizations and churches. It has survived because of the milking by people like Perkins and James Dobson (Focus on the Family). BTW: Cameron fully supports Uganda's "kill the gays bill" INCLUDING the part about capital punishment.
But Cameron is an
honest psychological researcher, is he not? We-e-l-l-l-......no. He has
been expelled or censured by: The American Psychological Association,
The Canadian Psychological Association, The American Sociological
Association and the Nebraska Psychological Association. (Of course, if
you lived in Lincoln, NE, perhaps the most exciting thing going is
getting kicked out of an association.) In addition, his group - the
Family Research Institute - is considered a hate group by the Southern
Poverty Law Center.
The next two men who made the term homosexual agenda equivalent to Satan, are Joseph Nicolosi and Scott Lively.
Nicolosi heads up the ex-gay movement with his National Association for Research and Therapy for Homosexuality. He espouses something called reparative therapy. If you feel that he thinks of himself as a repair man, you're not far from the truth. Unfortunately, his form of therapy has been debunked by even more associations than Cameron has been ejected from (a race?): the National Association of Social Workers, The American Psychological Association, The American Psychiatric Association, The American Counseling Association, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Nicolosi's attitude towards homosexuality is positively toxic:
I remember Dr. Nicolosi telling me, in response to the question of whether one could easily contract HIV from semen, that if this were the case then gays would be "jerking off in hamburgers all over" to infect people.

But
of the four, Scott Lively is definitely the most extreme. He has been
living almost exclusively on the fame of his first book, The Pink Swastika.
Long out-of-print, it is now self-published and printed "on-demand."
It's purchased by people who devour hate prose and who salivate at the
thought of using it as a reference. Needless to say, historians have
had nothing good to say about the book because it simply isn't true:
In 1942, the death penalty was instituted for homosexuality. Offenders in the German military were routinely shot. "That wasn't a punishment," Himmler explained, "but simply the extinguishing of abnormal life. It had to be got rid of, just as we pull out weeds, throw them on a heap, and burn them."
