I disagree. Besides, I made no reference to GLSEN. I simply described the practice of holding "Days of Silence" type demonstrations as something used routinely in the political indoctrination practices of communist societies like the former Soviet Union, present day Cuba and the PROC. It's a political thought exercise, designed to provoke solidarity with a victim class while simultaneously eliminating reasoned discourse. It doesn't have to be a pro gay activist group like GLSEN that uses this tool, it's also used - in many forms - by so-called "diversity trainers" employed by academic and corporate America. It's a common practice to get "diversity training" participants to somehow make themselves feel uncomfortable for the day of the training, either by temporarily switching to an unfamiliar behavior or even by putting a small pebble in their shoe (as was asked of us whan I was subjected to this training by my employer. Russian and Chinese immigrants, with few exceptions, tend to liken corporate diversity training to the "political thought" sessions forced on them in the workplace in their former countries. The common thread between the GLSEN "day of silence," corporate "diversity training," and Soviet political indoctrination sessions was "you will listen, and there will be no dissent."
Neither GLSEN nor an employer like GE (for example) could be considered corporate Stalins incarnate. But the practice of something like the "day of silence" fits within the Marxist dialectic like a hand in a glove.
