Ever get the feeling leftist authors are single issue minded.
It’s gay gay gay 24/7.
I thought colonialism was bad?
In the snippet above, she's quoting someone in Georgia who brought up gays when it had nothing to do with the topic. She's pointing out that this is how those who oppose a more integrated Europe in Eastern Europe slur people who want a more open society. Notice I didn't say a more gay society. You can have freedom without having LGBT crammed down your throat. Freedom and the gay agenda (political and cultural power for gays based on their sexual preference).
I've seen the same thing with these slurs on FReeRepublic. Point out that Putin is a former KGB thug (a Colonel with sixteen years of service), or that he's stealing from the Russians (he's worth $75 billion), or that he's a phony on religion, and you're called a fag, or worse a McCain supporter.
There are illogical conservatives who sadly cannot see that they're being conned by Putin. They think because he claims to be a nationalist (is stealing from his nation not the best evidence that he loves his country they must think), and he hates the gay agenda enough to make it his dominant concern, means for the dilettante conservative that he must be a swell guy working towards a conservative utopia. Never mind that autocracy and conservatism, don't go together. Never mind that if Putin were such a great Christian he wouldn't be helping Iran get a nuclear weapon.
Wasn’t there some exasperated newscaster last week who said he wanted a “gaycation” - that is, a vacation from stories about gays? I imagine they fired him immediately.
I don’t know what it is about the left’s obsession with gays, except that they see them as being the nail in the coffin for Judeo-Christian sexual morality and traditional family structure, which liberals apparently feel have been holding them back from true self-realization. Or something.
Interesting that even the Russians know enough to use the “gay identity” acronym (LGBT) as shorthand for liberalism.
