A match made in heaven: Gay-rights activists advanced radical aims by marrying them [tr]
Washington Post ^ | June 21, 2019 | Nathaniel Frank

This month’s 50th anniversary of Stonewall, the Greenwich Village uprising that launched the modern LGBT movement, was always going to be complicated. What may seem like a straightforward chance to celebrate progress actually masks a fault line that has divided our movement since its start: whether our goal is equality or liberation, a fight for the right to be treated like everyone else or the freedom to be authentically ourselves. Do we seek belonging in the world as it is (including the military, marriage and parenting) or the chance to transform the world, by throwing off repressive norms, into a place where all of us — queer and non-queer alike — can be more free?

Money quote:

The LGBT movement, including the push for marriage equality, has also helped upend repressive attitudes about sex, establishing nonmarital sex — and sexual behavior once thought perverse — as largely uncontroversial.

Rod Dreher posted an especially perceptive response to this:
Understand what he’s saying here: Frank laments that the LGBT rights movement has not eliminated the nuclear family and marriage. He is glad that it has brought about Teen Vogue articles teaching teenage girls how to receive penises into their rectums. He glories in the fact that the movement is alienating an increasing number of people from their bodies, and leading them to mutilate their breasts and genitals with hormones and surgeries. And he concedes that people like me were right to say back in the day that gay marriage was going to de-nature marriage as a child-centered institution.

Frank makes clear what some of us have known for a long time: that for the last 25 years, LGBTs have been the Leninist vanguard of the Sexual Revolution.

It's here: Stonewall’s ‘Gift’

I personally and many people that I know really don’t care what any adult does in the privacy of his or her home behind closed doors.

The only problem I have with gays etc is that it is not equality that they seek it is instead an affirmation and applause for what they are.

The people who were always wanted to “smash monogamy” were only interested in “marriage” as a way to redefine and dilute the meaning of marriage.

They don’t seek equality, they seek dominance. They are homofascists and anti-religion.

They have always been self-loathing narcissists. They know most people find their lifstyles repulsive, so they have to silence all who would make them feel bad about themselves.

Just like Adam and Eve pushed the boundaries that God set, so will those today that follow the ways of the world instead of following Christ pay for their decisions.

First they asked for tolerance, then acceptance, now participation. What’s left to ask for, dominance?

A person's right to "do what they want to do" in the privacy of their bedroom stops when they attempt to intrude upon my right of keeping what I earn.

Trillions of tax dollars have been spent to propitiate the behavior of "what they do" in private. I do not buy that asinine "privacy" premise at all because there is no benefit to society (Goes for a lot of other behaviors besides sodomy/unsafe sex which should not be subsidized where the individual should pay their ramifications).

The "privacy" sexual matter is another issue where losertarians (Not saying you are) are hypocritical because the matter always "bleeds and prolapses" into the public sector where resources are wasted and exhausted.

Exactly, they need access to the schools so they can bring “fresh meat” into their perversion. And getting parents to want to have “trans kids” also helps. The more screwed up kids are, the more willing they are to have sex with old hairy men.

They don’t want to keep their perversion among themselves, they want your kids in their bedrooms as well.

The entire project begins by a failure to understand the difference between desire and love, why love must precede and be the determinant of desire, not the other way around, or else the “sexual” life forever in one’s life becomes subordinate to desire, not love, and becomes a never quite fulfilled illusion.

Diseases spread through other means as well, it just isn’t exclusive to da “gays”. Any research and development into AIDs/HIV/etc is a benefit to all people, not exclusively gays. People’s perversions, should stay in the bedroom, not paraded up and down main street and given 24/7 support in the media. That is the problem, they are trying to read kids and that is how they do it.

Just another claim that to be free you must be naked in the streets and have sex publicly. Which is why they have been suppressed in the bad old days.

He has a very good point there. Homosexual men have a lot of sex with a lot of partners. It’s the main reason AIDS and other STDs flourish in that community.

Though I do believe that a lot of heterosexual men would be just as promiscuous but most heterosexual woman aren’t into meaningless sex.

We’ve had many arrest of gay men over the years at our city park having sex in public. Not one arrest of a heterosexual couple doing the same. Reason being that there is just not a lot of woman that would do such a thing. If Mary and Sue decided to go down to the park and start giving out oral sex you would probably see a line of men waiting their turn.

There’s a saying I heard along time ago sums it up perfectly. Woman need a reason to have sex, men just need a place.
