I'm a little more... I suppose "liberal" would be the correct term... about homosexuality, but Steyn has hit the nail on the head with this one. The current gay agenda isn't about tolerance- it's about forcing an anti-family, anti-religion, anti-decency world view onto our society.
As I said, I don't consider homosexuality itself an abomination. But I do think the homosexual community should be open to criticism like any other group.
What bothers me in particular is the conflation of homosexuality with all forms of sexual deviance. I just don't get why these activists think being gay means you must embrace promiscuity, hardcore porn, and public lewd behavior. There is enough evidence out there to show that such a lifestyle is extremely dangerous to one's physical and emotional health. Why sentence your community to death, spiritual and physical, in this fashion?
The focus on identity politics is troubling too. One's sexual orientation should not be the whole of one's identity. Each individual is valuable and unique and may call himself by many names.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
Why sentence your community to death, spiritual and physical, in this fashion?
You've hit on something here: The radical homosexual is the poster child for the negative population growth mavens.
- Homosexuals expend their sexual activity in non reproductive sex.
- They love to celebrate their lifestyle and so are willing to promote it widely, even to the very impressional young in schools, making policy makers happy in that the adolescent's chance of choosing a gay lifestyle is more likely
- They get sick and die early
- The promiscuity of even a few has made the lifestyle more deadly.
With an NPG certainty as high as that, but with an absolute gaity about it, wouldn't you, if you were a policy maker concerned about the scarcity of worldwide resources and didn't feel comfortable with outright killing people, wouldn't you find those who practiced homosexuality the perfect model of citizen?
See? You and I have it wrong! Off to the reeducation camp with us until we realize that per deep environmentalists, seeking normative homosexuality is good policy.
