Conservative National Review magazine goes homo

National Review (NR) is a semimonthly magazine based in New York City which was founded in 1955 by the late author William F. Buckley, Jr. It describes itself as “America’s most widely read and influential magazine and web site for conservative news, commentary, and opinion.”

The managing editor of NR is Jason Lee Steorts. In a very, very long 7,000-word article in National Review on May 19, 2015, “An Equal Chance at Love: Why We Should Recognize Same-Sex Marriage,” with a quaint Victorian-era pic of a cupid (see below), Steorts — and therefore National Review — comes out in favor of homosexual marriage.

Cupid's Arrows

Steorts’ argument, briefly, is that marriage is no longer about procreation because many heterosexual couples don’t have children. Instead, marriage today is about “love” and, as such, should not be denied to homosexuals who “love” each other. In Steorts’ words:

Civil marriage was instituted, let us concede, to safeguard the interests of children by endorsing and protecting the kind of stable, committed relationships that produce them and are suited to their upbringing….

We can realize that a law that once seemed well designed could, in fact, be fairer. Reexamining marriage laws with this possibility in mind, we should register the following facts. First, civil marriage already includes a group of people — married, childless men and women — who are irrelevant to its child-centric purpose. Second, there is another group of people — committed same-sex couples who wish to marry — who have just as much reason to want the law’s recognition and protection of their relationships as married, childless men and women do. (Some same-sex couples are also raising children, much to traditionalists’ horror, but we leave this aside.) Third, couples belonging to either of these two groups have the same reasons and motivations, rooted in their love for each other, to abide by the standards of conduct that we traditionally associate with marriage, namely exclusivity and fidelity subsequent to a vow of permanent commitment. In light of all this, it is a matter of simple fairness to treat the two groups the same way, and legislators and voters should favor doing so.

There’s just one thing wrong with Steorts’ argument. For homosexuals, who are notoriously promiscuous, marriage isn’t about a commitment to exclusivity and fidelity

Outspoken public homosexual Andrew Sullivan admits that gay marriage does NOT mean monogamy. As Sullivan puts it: “there is more likely to be greater understanding of the need for extramarital outlets between two men than between a man and a woman.”

A January 28, 2010 article by Scott James in the New York Times says the same thing:

When Rio and Ray married in 2008, the Bay Area women omitted two words from their wedding vows: fidelity and monogamy. […] Love brought the middle-age couple together — they wed during California’s brief legal window for same-sex marriage. But they knew from the beginning that their bond would be forged on their own terms, including what they call “play” with other women. […]

A study to be released next month is offering a rare glimpse inside gay relationships and reveals that monogamy is not a central feature for many. […] New research at San Francisco State University reveals just how common open relationships are among gay men and lesbians in the Bay Area. The Gay Couples Study has followed 556 male couples for three years — about 50 percent of those surveyed have sex outside their relationships, with the knowledge and approval of their partners.

There are homosexuals who are honest enough to admit that promiscuity is inherent in being a gay man. An example is John Blair Linn, who describes himself as “an active member of the Washington, DC, gay scene for 25 years” who is now “disillusioned with the ‘homosexual lifestyle’.” In a searingly candid article for HenryMakow.com, “Insider: Gay Marriage is a ‘Total Farce’,” Sept. 5, 2012, Linn writes:

All that most homosexuals really care about is sex. Very few are in actual committed relationships, and those that are almost always have open relationships, and these are widely accepted in the gay community.

The gay bar is really the center of life for most homosexuals. They classify themselves as either “tops” (the one who screws) or “bottoms” (the one who gets screwed) and that is how they have structured their entire culture.

Unlike a man and a woman, two men need to know who plays the role of male, and who plays the role of female – set sexual positions – and homosexual relations are truly a hooking up arrangement. The public is so brainwashed to blindly accept gay relationships.

There is generally no stigma about any sexual behavior and those who belong to the S&M crowd are widely accepted by the general community.

Sexual perversions are widespread among gay men and involve urine, feces, and painful sex. Most gays are empty voids and fill their lives with sex and drugs. There is also a lot of anger among gay men. They are angry at their disorder, and display their anger by lashing out at normal healthy society. […]

I believe that homosexuality is almost always a birth defect. Some people are born crippled or with mental illness; the same goes for most homosexuals.

Homosexuality revolves totally around sex, pure and simple. Few homosexual men ever form relationships, and nearly all homosexual men are attracted to much younger men. Homosexuality is truly a compulsive disorder.

[…] homosexuals really love straight men. They would do anything to get at an attractive straight man.

Otherwise, most homosexual men prefer younger homosexual men by about 20 years and after about age 45, they start to get depressed and end up hiring young male prostitutes and risking their lives for sexual thrills.

Read the rest of Linn’s confessional here.

“All that most homosexuals really care about is sex” and “homosexuals really love straight men”. That is the real truth about homosexuals, which is readily evidenced by reading Michael K’s blog, Dlisted, in which the openly-gay penis-obsessed blogger lusts after straight men such as Prince Harry and the actor Jon Hamm.

Back to Scott James of the New York Times. James writes that “gay nuptials are portrayed by opponents as an effort to rewrite the traditional rules of matrimony. Quietly, outside of the news media and courtroom spotlight, many gay couples are doing just that” — which is to “rewrite” the traditional institution of marriage into a meaningless institution of open promiscuity, devoid of the emotional commitment of fidelity.

Writing for OUT magazine, Michelangelo Signorile admits as much:

A middle ground might be to fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society’s moral codes but rather to…radically alter an archaic institution. [Legalizing ‘same-sex marriage’] is also a chance to wholly transform the definition of family in American culture. It is the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statutes, get education about homosexuality and AIDS into public schools, and, in short, usher in a sea change in how society views and treats us.

Back to Jason Lee Steorts and National Review.

Very little is known about Steorts. Although he is NR‘s managing editor, there is no biographical information on him, other than what I can glean from his NR author’s page that he began working at NR in 2003. The only other information I found on Steorts is a page of links to his essays for The Harvard Crimson, which presumably means that he had studied at Harvard University.

Nor can I find a picture of Steorts.

I’ll bet you $25 that Jason Lee Steorts is a homosexual.

So long, National Review. If I wanted to read a screed by a liberal/Progressive, I would go to an authentic leftwing site, instead of a pseudo-conservative magazine that sells the same tripe, dressed up as a pretentious, tedious, long-winded 7,000-word essay written by a man more girly than a girl, with his head in a puff of icky-sweet Victorian cupids.

[HomerBohn]

Farewell, National Review. I stopped my subscription years ago right after W. F. Buckley joined Jimmy Kahtah in the giveaway of the Panama Canal.

Lulu said it best:

It is interesting that much of what you have written was a conformation of a program I saw on Hulu; with three homosexual men presenting their views on “the lifestyle.” One of the three was married, and he confirmed that he and his husband indeed had an open relationship. He then went on to tell the audience about “tops” and “bottoms” and how they wear different colored head scarfs, place on either the right arm or left arm to denote their individual preference as being either a “top” or “bottom” when cruising the gay bar scene. It was extremely informative, as is your article. People need to wake up and realize what is really going on, that homosexual marriage is about the breakup of the family, not bestowing the same rights on those persons who are homosexuals. We also need to always remember to “love the sinner” all the while “abhorring the sin,” so that we remain sinless before Our Savior.

[Zeppo]

The article is foolish to the extreme.

The author seems to believe that discussing or even advocating certain issues should be taboo, verboten, off-limits to “Conservatives”.

Nonsense.

The remedy for speech that you disagree with is to explain why you believe that it is wrong, misguided, dangerous, whatever.

Using ridicule in an attempt to shut off debate is a leftist/liberal tactic. Why is the author of this piece trying to get away with such tactics?

[Timber Rattler]

I’ll bet you $25 that Jason Lee Steorts is a homosexual.

Yup.

Let me setup hidden video cameras in a home where a homosexual couple have children for a month and another in a gay bar I will show the public what they are all about with plenty of footage to prove it. They are constantly prowling looking for sex. If the public knew about all of the other practices they engage in to find homo sex they'd be disgusted. Gay bars, gloryholes, bath houses, foot tapping in bathrooms, hanging out in places where they can find teens to approach them for sex (same online where they pretend to be females), going to parks and parking in their cars where they have "signals" they use to indicate they want to have sex, etc...they are much more filthy and disgusting creatures than the piblic is aware of...i was exposed to this crap while working as LEO. You talk to any beat cop that works any are where there are homo communities and you will hear the same stuff. They have a whole side of their life devoted to finding gay sex and they ate not normal and definitely not "Gay O.K." (talk anout some naive and easily fooled kids; they have no clue what they are talking about; they were just chanting BS; I'm sure their mothers will love it when they announce they are lesbians)

[Chainmail]

You miss the point. Featuring a long article espousing something repulsive to sane social conservatives means that the publication has lost its compass and should be avoided.

"Free Speech" is dandy but we also have the right to boycott/avoid/denounce perverts who push their deviance in a formerly conservative site.

What are you, anyway?

“Though it is easy for us to perceive the wild instability of the Roman Imperium in its final days, it was not easy for the Romans.” --Thomas Cahill

Future generations will recoil in disgust at the wild instability and excesses of Western Civlization in its final days. The non-Western world already does.

[HomerBohn]

Homosexuals are only happy when either someone has shoved their pee-pee up their anus, or they are shoving their pee-pee up another’s anus.

The anus and the pee-pee are two objects of their adoration and love.

Ingesting fecal matter is another of their filthy practices where they either lick the stick or the anus itself.

Homosexuals are just not very tidy people and their health statistics are a horror.

However disgusting and evil their sodomy is they will still have their ‘gay pride’ demonstrations to convince themselves that what they are doing with each other is an honorable thing.

Skeeter Obama thinks it’s honorable and many people believe his butt rangering days were over when the idiots elected him president twice.

The Holy Bible explains what polite society did to homosexuals in olden times.

Russia is a paradox, but they have it just right as to how society should treat perverts: with scorn and arrest.

[Wilhelm Tell]

I have been increasingly dissatisfied with NR. For a long time I tolerated it. This is indeed a bridge too far. I will never again buy another issue.

[miss marmelstein]

Naïve conservatives at that publication endorse gay marriage without understanding anything that motivates gay men. How isolated must you be? I mean, these guys live in large cities that have huge gay enclaves - they’re not in Podunk. Grow up, America!

[miss marmelstein]

Prior to the AIDS crisis, I worked at Studio 54, hung out with gay men, and learned it from the inside. While they kept much of their life hidden from me, it was still an open secret.

[Will88]

It’s odd that almost nothing is known about this Steorts, who comes along and puts forth this position for NR.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

Rich and Jonah need to be asked were they stand on this crap.

Jonah Goldberg once said that he wished the GOP would give up on it`s family values platform so that we could start winning elections again.

I heard him say that somewhere in the last 10 years or so, I absolutely did hear him utter those words. Every time I see him now it`s all that I remember.

Rich Lowry not all that Conservative either

[Shery]

I quit reading NR a few years ago. I still like Victor Davis Hanson, but that is all. You can see his articles posted elsewhere, as well. I wonder that he still writes for them.

[MDLION]

The neocons have taken over “National Review”.

[jjotto]

NR has been going more liberal since Buckley gave up control. Been going on for a long time. Lowry is a favorite ‘conservative’ of the Liberal Establishment.

[Mmmike]

We suffer from the excessive “rights talk” all around us. Libertines use it as a billy club, while the civilized cower in fear. Thus the fallacies of “rights talk” are not discussible.

[Dr. Sivana]

Libertines use it as a billy club, while the civilized cower in fear.

We aren't all cowering in disgust. Many of us choose to not to discuss it in a crude way because it is not decent to go into detail of what they are and what they do. (At work, a liberal brought up the "marriage" issue, and I told him that I was waiting for them to come up with a definition of consummation. That's as close as I want to get to the details.) Secondly, I do not allow my children (who are early teens and younger) to be exposed to this stuff, especially during the latency period, and so as not to desensitize them. It is hard work, but we have found good families to socialize with, homeschool, etc. It is not cowering fear, at least not yet.

This seems an appropriate place to link a good piece by Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr.

Should Christians Attend Homosexual “Weddings?”

[odawg]

“The author seems to believe that discussing or even advocating certain issues should be taboo, verboten, off-limits to “Conservatives”.”

He discussed homosexuality himself, so that part of your statement is wrong. But he certainly is against the advocating of homosexuality by a supposedly conservative, very Catholic magazine.
