I can't believe I agree almost 100% with a lesbian, "liberal", pro-choice, feminist but by God I do.
If anyone hasn't read that book, pick it up now to understand the mindset of the far left in this country.
If she's lesbian, it sure doesn't show up with the usual, expected attitudes in her writing.
And by the way, I've read quite a few Camille Paglia columns, and I agree with her about a lot of things except her atheism and lesbianism -- but those are her property. What is interesting about this column is, it is the first time I have ever heard of a gay or lesbian person condemning child molesters.
Wonder where she stands on pederasty, and on exposing kids, tweenagers, and teenagers to deviant leadership models such as policemen, teachers, and churchmen?
My own position, for the sake of clarification, is that homosex certainly isn't good for you, but that the far greater damage occurs when kids are scandalized or, worse, instructed to accept deviant behavior, in others or in themselves, as morally value-free. I've always felt that the Velvet Underground worked to propagate that message, to help their more adventurous bretheren get over on straight kids. That's male sexuality -- straight men don't care whether women are straight, gay, bi, or asexual, as long as they'll lie down. Gay men, ditto and double ditto -- their ethics should never be trusted around young men and boys, and the statistics on pederastic contact in a non-complaisant social background, i.e. non-"overhauled" America to date, back that statement up.
