"Without a doubt, sexual minorities in the United States have, collectively, been ill-treated, stigmatized, discriminated against, and denied basic rights (especially during the AIDS crisis)."

Rights such as?

Don’t you mean the “reach around”?

How do you classify it as overreach, if they are attaining all their goals?

Their lives are a lie. Expect nothing but lies until they repent.

National Review, the premier conservative gay rights publication. They make the saying “conservatism is now just liberalism going the speed limit” a reality.

Sorry but this concerted effort by a determined , powerful sick minority to force normal society to accommodate and celebrate their bizarre aberrancy will not only ultimately fail but will result a severe backlash.

When the Bible uses the word “homosexual,” it is translating words that described certain behaviors, not distinct types of people. The left has essentialized certain behaviors and turned them into something like racial categories, and this was done for rhetorical and political purposes, to equate criticism of certain sexual practices with racial discrimination.

" . . . and denied basic rights (especially during the AIDS crisis . . . "

Really? I don't remember that. All I remember is restrictions on homosexuals being blood donors, which isn't exactly a "basic right," and has nothing to do with living your everyday existence.

Even back in the old days, homosexuals were rarely arrested unless they were caught engaging in public sex acts, which would also be a crime for heterosexuals.

Rapists, pederasts, pedos, abusers, beastials, necros, pornographers are sexual minorities, too. They say “sexual minorities” as though to be part of one makes you automatically a victim or an innocent person. It does not.

(You know who is actually a sexual minority? A heterosexual who waits until marriage and is faithful within that marriage till death does he part, not even committing adultery in his heart. The majority of men don’t make this grade though many aspire to.)

Were I a racial minority I’d take exception to this crap as well although it can be technically correct. A pedophile is for example a small percentage of the population, hence a minority. But the attempt here is to make it so that they and all other perversions are on the same plane as, say, the Chinese. Ridiculous.

“Rights such as?”

Their lifestyle being accepted....embraced. They consider that to be a “right”

That’s the left, they consider that everyone should openly welcome ALL behaviors regardless of how disgusting, perverse or deviant it may be to cultural norms. It’s their right!

Because they have reached the same cyclic point of rejection sexual licentiousness always reaches, for the same reasons.

For the record, Michel Foucault who is mentioned at the beginning of this article died of AIDS in the 1980s.

We in America are free thinkers as of yet, these garbage groups with their agenda’s and the feckless politicians who bow and pass laws to protect their rights while infringing our right to speak out will never fly! No one is going to tell me how to feel how to think and how to act, continue pushing and poking the tiger in the cage and taking advantage of our good nature, we have had just about enough

Yeah - I call a big BS on that.

The reality was that AIDS was a relatively small outbreak with no known cause and happening across all walks of life (because it wasn’t just sexually transmitted but through blood transfusions.)

There were lots of cries of epidemic from the gay community but this was relatively subdued during the Carter administration (who also ignored it) but became a political activist movement during the Reagan administration - just as homelessness was during the Bush administration (and was magically resolved during Clinton’s admin) and Katrina during Bush 2.

For you youngins today it’s much like the “concentration camp” brouhaha going around now. Once the problem became solidly known in the later 80s Reagan and the Congress did divert funds and laws to help those with Aids. (And I note away from cancer research)

But don’t let facts get in your way of continuing the propaganda

I see no limits on these sick bastards overreach. Every new excess is met with little or no opposition to the point we are only one Judges ruling away from 13 year old girls having to share showers and locker rooms with creeps who decide they’re girls that day.

LBGT we have a problem and you people need to step up and help resolve it. Males competing against males in sports is one thing however, no matter who they are or say they are in some sports like tennis or even a triathlon, females almost never physically match a male competitor.

Doctors who help change the sex of a child under 18, ought to be ___________(fill in the blank)....the research is still out.

They tore down the fireplace and chimney, but nobody thought through how the hole would be fixed.

When I was in graduate school, I was walking across campus one evening and saw my advisor who said he was on his way to hear Michel Foucault. I had never heard of him before but he sounded famous so I joined the professor but when we got there they were turning people away--the very large auditorium was full. So I never heard him and still (more than 35 years later) have never read anything by him.

Somehow I have survived.
