Tragic & Twisted Characters Who Made “Gay” Normal, One was a Priest

. . .in 1973, the American Psychiatric Association made the decision to delete homosexuality as a diagnostic category from the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual (DSM).  This decision was not based on new scientific evidence, but the result of political pressure from activists in & out of the Association, particularly from the newly formed National Gay Task Force;  in 1973, the 4 founding leaders of the Task Force included Dr. Howard Brown, Dr. Bruce Voeller, Fr. Robert Carter, & Dr. Frank Kameny. . .

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. . .

A Tired Uncle Sam (Credit: owlandbear.com)

Is America Running Out of Patience with LGBT Activism?

From surprisingly fast & unexpected victory can come great hubris & the desire to utterly crush one’s opponents. Perhaps GLAAD & its allies should learn to practice what they preach: tolerance of other people’s beliefs & practices, even if they don’t fully understand them.
