In the comment section to my piece on Joe Solmonese’s liberalism, reader Mike alerted me to this excellent post by a new gay blogger.
Reflecting on a gay man who “seems to believe all homosexuals are liberal,” Prismwarden writes
Still, doesn’t he realize by assuming gays are liberal that he is unconsciously reinforcing the systematic social oppression of a world that pressures us to be liberal?! How insensitive and close-minded, no, how hateful to place those kinds of expectations on us.
Upset in November 2000 at the victory of George W. Bush, this open-minded man has since
aged beyond adolescent self-identity politics to the wider world of free-thinking adults. I am free of the shrieking homosexual activism and its filthy, grime-ridden claws of insecurity and self-loathing.
From a man who was once “nothing but gay,” he began to realize that “No shared sexual orientation could ever bind” him to the “twisted beliefs” of gay leftists who “hated too much and too easily.”
There is much to commend in this post and rather than rewrite it here, please read the whole thing and keep an eye on this blog!
