The reactionaries bigots I was a part of would have expelled someone for feeling they have the right to raise the question of sex between consenting adults in a party organization. In fact during one of the many dance parties we would hold in Detroit a comrade asked why two women were dancing together and kissing and fondling one another on the dance floor.

 

He was basically told that he could raise the issue in his unit but would probably be expelled because it is not a political issue. Yes, there are people with strong feelings but anyone with real world experience in politics have to sooner of later figure out the boundary of where other people begin.

 

Why a political group discusses someone's sexual relations - above the age of consent, is mind boggling. But then again we were always reactionary. Homosexuality is not a political issue and everyone has been duped into thinking it is. I am to be expelled for abhorring homosexuality - not homosexuals, and spanking children.

 

The above is equated to calling someone a nigger or a fag.

 

 

Utterly mind boggling.
