This is yet more proof that liberal calls for “fairness” and “tolerance”, along with calls for “inclusiveness” and “diversity” are all a guile-laden means to give liberals the means to simultaneously claim the moral high ground against conservatives as well as to advance the liberal agenda.
For example, in the wake of the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York, in which gay men were brutally treated by police, it was often said that they just wanted to be “left alone”. [1]
It wasn’t long after this, that advocates for homosexual rights claimed that they just wanted to be able to “come out of the closet” and to participate in normal society.
Fast forward to the several incidents where owners of small businesses such as those that offer wedding services, cakes, meeting venues and photography serves have been hauled before government regulatory agencies and fined or even threatened with being thrown in jail for the crime of politely declining to be hired in support of an event relating to a same-sex “marriage”.
And then there is the case of the CEO of Mozilla, Brendan Eich, being fired because it was discovered that some years prior he had donated to a ballot initiative effort in California that defined marriage as being between one man and one woman.
By the reaction of supporters of homosexual rights today, it is clear that they are willing to issue death threats, slash tires, and to grind anyone into the ground where they can when it is found that they oppose this agenda.
So, it was never about just being left alone. The homosexual lobby now has the knickname of “gay mafia” or “gaystoppo” and the case of Brenden Eich proves it. But that must not surprise anyone, for a person becomes a liberal when they decide in their youth that they can lie to themselves and it doesn’t matter. When you lie to yourself, it is nothing to lie to others. You end up affiliating with people who like the same lies. You take pride in your common lies, for you cannot appeal to truth. Indeed, truth itself becomes a tool and a tactic that only exists to advance your agenda. Otherwise, truth itself is malleable and plastic. And then when dealing with people who do not share your common lies is by what power you can gain over them, for you cannot appeal to principle, at least not honestly.

Multicultural pieties are an ideological weapon, designed to paralyze societal defenders. They are not the unintended consequences of goofy good intentions, but deliberately honed tools of political power, wielded without good intentions of any sort.

As in Wonderland and Orwell, words mean what their speakers wish them to mean. Such is life in these United (snicker) States today.
Reading 1984 aloud in public should be a requirement before a politician or business leader gains a position of power.
Did you hear about it? That the founder of this nazi homosexual movement, is a pedophile?
