Cultural Realpolitik: The Homosexual Establishment

. . .the New York Pride Parade is an overwhelming display of establishment power.  As the head of the Human Rights Campaign said in 2006, “Corporate America is far ahead of America generally when it comes to the question of equality for GLBT people.”  Large corporations donate to LGBT causes, lobby against religious freedom laws, & present gay people as avatars of consumerism. . .
