Yes, and? Look, I was just saying that I didn't think
that the only reason that homosexuality was a
lightning rod was that people thought that God hates
fags. I said that in my experience many peoples seem to
find the thought disgusting. I did not offer a theory
as to why. I did not say that the hatred was
independent of social conditioning, and I didn't say
that some people who display socially approved
attitudes about male homosexuality don't engage in the
behavior. Any other straw men for me explain that I
also don't mean?

Comment

This matter of homosexuality is treated in the same non historical manner as
the Women Question, although both are totally different in content and scope.
Ones feelings and opinion about homosexuality has nothing to do with the
political relations that evolves as an expression of class society and property
relations. Many are going to learn this the hard way.

Ones feelings and opinion about women has everything to do with the political
relations that evolves as an expression of class society and property
relations. Maybe in the next twenty years everyone will learn and understand the
difference.

Personally, I abhor homosexuality and feel no compulsion whatsoever to
explain why I think a man penis should be place in a women and not another man. I am
not required to explain my ideology.

I abhor the idea of homosexual couples being granted medical benefits as
homosexual couples when male and female couples with children are denied the same
benefits. As a union representative I voted against this and voted in favor of
all couples being granted company benefits.

The fight for homosexual rights - rights based on same sex between the same
sex, has never been a "progressive issue."
