‘Gay-rights activists are among the most hateful people in the world.’
7th April 2013
The Other McCain turns over a rock.
Homosexuality has gone from being “the love that dare not speak its name” to being “the political agenda that won’t shut up,” and its enthusiasts — 3.4 percent of the U.S. population, according to a Gallup poll last year – seem determined to make up in angry outrage what they lack in numbers.
Victims are where you find them — chiefly in the newsrooms.
Some of you young people might not believe it, but there was a time when being gay was mostly about sex. Also, disco.
Then, during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, being gay became mostly about blaming Republicans for AIDS. Nowadays, being gay seems to be mostly about wishing violent death on Republicans.
How homosexuality changed from being a personal preference to being a political identity is deserving of an essay or even an entire book, but nobody’s offering to pay me to write either. Still I can’t help but wonder: Is hating Republicans really that much more fun than sex and disco?
