“Someone’s probably made this point already, and I just missed it. The politically active gay community is not after “tolerance”, in my mind. What they want is affirmation. There’s a big difference between the two, like the difference between civil unions and gay “marriage”.

The problem is, I think that when they force the affirmation issue, either through speech codes, diversity training in schools, etc. all they succeed in doing is to generate a backlash. One that has a nasty potential to come back to haunt them eventually.

No matter how you slice it, to many, myself included, same sex activity is unnatural, and is not just another lifestyle choice that is on equal footing with heterosexuality. For gays to accept tolerance as their ultimate goal would reinforce this point, so they need to go for affirmation. I don’t think they’ll be successful in the long run, even though it appears that they’re winning some big battles now.

So we have a situation where gays can’t accept what would be willingly given (in most cases), and are attempting to force the rest of us to believe something that’s unbelievable. This won’t play out well for them in the end.”
The so called gay issue is not the only untruth that is being foisted upon us by the ruling class. The trivialization of marriage, the denigration of the family...
Of more serious consequence is the similar cram down of Islam as “just another religion”.

If you want to look at the old, tired comparison to Rome, homosexuality, acceptance there of and adoption by the 'elites' of Rome was the beginning of the end or the old republic. What came after that was a bizarre combination of socialism and weirdness, blood lust - "bread and circuses". The internet may be playing the role of the circus now.

We are right on track.
