Anti-Gay Telescope Tyranny!
The American Conservative ^ | 14 july 2022 | Rod Dreher

As we know, the sum total of human scientific endeavor must be judged by the question: Is it good for the gays?

You think: that just has to be the Babylon Bee, right? Nope -- it's part of the Microsoft News network, same as MSNBC. From the story:

NASA has shared the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) first high-resolution images of deep space, including some galaxies pictured 13 billion years ago—not long after the Big Bang. But despite this remarkable achievement for science, the JWST continues to stand as a bitter reminder of our country’s willingness to tolerate and even memorialize queerphobia.

The JWST first came under controversy last year when it came to light that its namesake, James Webb, oversaw the Lavender Scare during his tenure as NASA’s second administrator. The Lavender Scare was a McCarthy-era moral panic in which suspected queer employees were exposed and purged from government positions.

Because really, when you think about it, the only thing significant about a scientist's life is how he felt about gay people in the 1950s. NPR, naturally, tried to warn the space agency last fall to turn back from its gay-bashing ways, but NASA for some reason wouldn't listen.

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez becomes our Woke Cromwell, they will rename the Webb telescope the Big Freedia Space Telescope, or, alternatively, they will blow it up so our vision of deep space isn't tainted by homophobe emanations.

Then the woketards should get off of social media altogether. William Shockley's work with transistors paved the way to cyber technology we have today. But Shockley was a...(reverb) RACIST . At least by their standards.
