Interesting.

I would have never guessed that Rand held such views about homosexuality. You're right. She'd be on her way to gay-hater rehab in today's climate.

My previous post about Ayn Rand's thoughts on homosexuality got deleted -- probably because I spelled out the poster's name. (Funny how his name is allowed, though.)

Anyway, here is another variation of the same quote, from Wikipedia:

In response to questions from the audience at the two Ford Hall Forum lectures she gave at Northeastern University, Rand explained her stance in more detail. In her 1968 lecture, she said, "I do not approve of such practices or regard them as necessarily moral, but it is improper for the law to interfere with a relationship between consenting adults." (Ayn Rand Answers, p. 18) In 1971, Rand repeated this stance, then explained that homosexuality "involves psychological flaws, corruptions, errors, or unfortunate premises", concluding that homosexuality "is immoral, and more than that; if you want my really sincere opinion, it's disgusting.

And as I said, she would have to go to rehab for those remarks. And of course Hey4qdems would call her a hater.

And she wasn't even joking.

(Don't you love the way the mods selectively moderate?)
