.. much of today’s LGBT+ movement has retreated from the ideals and vision of thepioneers...
Our organisations have become increasingly corporatised and exploited, with UK Pride parades often dominated by big business sponsors and floats, vote-seeking politicians and state agents such as the police, who brag about their LGBT+ inclusiveness but have not apologised/compensated us for their decades of oppression.
Pride is now capitalism with a pink hue. It has become monetised: we pay to march, we are encouraged to buy rainbow-branded merchandise to express our sexual and gender identity. Much of LGBT+ is part of the neoliberal establishment.
Most queers no longer dissent from the values, laws and institutions of mainstream society. They happily settle for equal rights within the existing social order; often uncritically seeking what straights have, no matter how dubious. Increasingly, LGBT+ culture has lost its critical edge. We have been mainstreamed, which on one level is great, but mainstreamed on heterosexual terms. Many of us seem to aspire to little more than an LGBT+ version of straight family life.
The trend is to become carbon copies of heterosexuality. We’ve internalised straight thinking and become “hetero homos” – straight minds in queer bodies. Our LGBT+ psyche has been colonised by a hetero-normative mentality.
How times have changed..Our demand was LGBT+ liberation. We wanted to change society, not conform to it. Our battle cry was “innovate, don’t assimilate”.
...But look what’s happened since then. Whereas GLF derided the family as a patriarchal prison that enslaved women, gay people and children, the biggest LGBT+ campaigns of recent years have been for marriage and parenting rights.. Many of us would, it seems, prefer to embrace traditional heterosexual aspirations, rather than critique them and strive for a liberating alternative.

Wack-a-doodle
Reading this makes my head hurt.
“Liberation” from the word of God hasn’t made them any happier than “women’s liberation” has made women.
Decadence is boring. Who knew?
The author, Peter Tatchell, is a renowned apologist & frontman for the pedo lobby.
As pride has been labelled the father of all sins, it has been deemed the devil's most prominent trait. C.S. Lewis writes, in Mere Christianity, that pride is the "anti-God" state, the position in which the ego and the self are directly opposed to God: "Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil:
Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind." Pride is understood to sever the spirit from God, as well as His life-and-grace-giving Presence.
Equal rights...isn’t that what the LGBTQMOUSE crowd wanted all along?
It looks like a case could be made that capitalism has sold itself to the homo movement.
All this for what? Sodomy?
The pink propaganda is coming in through every orifice.
There weren’t any gay couples in Noah’s ark.
Bingo!
"They happily settle for equal rights within the existing social order; often uncritically seeking what straights have"
This statement puts the lie to the stated goal of "inclusion". If what they really wanted was inclusion, well then OK, fine they've got it . Now let's all get back to running the civilization. But, that's NOT what they want. The movement to normalize child sexual abuse by calling it "love" is next.
There were two gay unicorns....
In a free country with laissez-faire capitalism, anything (even though it is legal) fundamentally incompatible with the requirements of profit making is irrational, and would eventually disappear.
Interesting what he wrote - that the pervs shouldn’t have gone for “gay marriage” but be wack-a-doodle
When will the madness end?
They never wanted equal rights. They wanted to transform America into a homosexual society.
Lol
BINGO!!!
A few months ago during a Sunday School lesson talking about sins of the flesh, I mentioned how the gay-plus have adopted PRIDE as their desire. Pride is of Satan and they are embracing him so there is nothing gay in their lives (as we used to call happy)!!!!! NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!! They are frozen in victimhood and do not want happiness but power on earth.
Christians are NOTW!!!! Thank you, thank you JESUS!!
So he is lamenting that homo’s aren’t weird enough.
