W. C. Harris is a radical gay activist and Professor of Queer Studies and Early American Literature. He says that homosexuals are still cruelly oppressed in America, even though some of them may end up with very comfortable jobs as university professors....
He is particularly angry with the Christian right for oppressing him....
So he would like to abolish Christianity altogether....and replace it with that he wittily calls “Gaytheism,” i.e., homosexual atheism.
Unlike beastly old Christianity, this new religion will meet our spiritual needs with “new forms of community that do not harass and malign gay and lesbian Americans or impede collective social progress.” One of the rituals of this exciting new religion, he explains, might be “barebacking”: that is, unprotected anal sex....
He leans extensively on the writings of “queer psychoanalytic theorist” Tim Dean to explain how, through barebacking
"…sharing viruses has come to be seen as a mechanism of alliance, a way of forming consanguinity with strangers and friends….Barebackers see themselves as not just passing on a virus but as transmitting a cultural legacy….Through HIV, gay men have discovered they can “breed” without women."
Having won the equal right to marriage, it was only to be expected that gay men should then want an equal right to produce offspring. But since Mother Nature has decreed this impossible...gay men have decided to claim equality by showing that they can at least breed viruses....
“Breeding the virus in another man’s body develops new kinships,” explains Harris (rather than, say, new burdens on health services), and they become one more couple in the “bug brotherhood.” The one who does the infecting is called the daddy, the recipient the son, and such incestuous overtones are also very exciting, argues Professor Harris, for they too are transgressive, subversive, and liberating.

A friend often says, some things are so stupid you have to be a college professor to believe them.
I was thinking the same thing. These ravings illustrate how to these people, their "lifestyle" is in fact an idol they worship.
Professor of Queer Studies??? Possibly the only degree less useful than “community organizing?”
Just another freak trying for his 15 minutes.
Wow ... a pervert whose entire life and livelihood revolves around sodomy. He's pathetic; I have seldom seen or heard of such a complete, appalling, hideous, tragic waste of a human life.
He is a little late with some of the formerly main line and off center religions.
““Breeding the virus in another man’s body develops new kinships,” explains Harris...”
Two words: Death Cult.
After the first paragraph I check to see if this was written by John Simmons.
Is this satire?
Or a democrat, but then again, usually they are one and the same.
Is this the Onion, sarcasm, WTH???
I’m going to puke.
You can tell this man is very sick.
Queer Theory is no laughing matter:

Please, Dr. Gaytheist, TRY to outlaw religion. Please ...
RELATED QUESTION....
Has anyone seen the ‘new’ Mickey D’s ad for the fish sandwich?
It shows a character at the helm of a ‘fishing boat(?)’ with two ‘characters’ behind him.
Until ‘recently’ I have viewed the ‘Gay’ problem— (of course, I had/have a ‘problem’ with the hijacking of the word Gay) one of ‘leave me be’, with the ‘saying’
“It is YOUR mouth, you can haul coal in it, just leave me alone”.
Being my ‘guideline’.
My ‘question’ is: Is my ‘H-phobia’ in high gear or does that particular ad appear to be a little ‘Gayer’ than it should be? - To the average bear?
Satire...this has got to be f****** satire...
Ping.
Egad.
My suggestion is replace it with SHUT THE F-issum UP. That would solve a whole lot of your problems.
Transgressive: going beyond acceptable boundaries of taste, convention, or the law.
