HOROWITZ ON QUEER LIBERATION On queer liberation as the ultimate revolutionary project, from David Horowitz's 1998 book, The Politics of Bad Faith:
To the queer theorist, all identities, gay and straight, are the product of the socially imposed ideal—hetero-normativity—which structures the system of oppression. For the new revolutionaries, the enemy is no longer a ruling class or a hegemonic race or even a dominant gender, but the sexual order of nature itself. . . . Oppression lies in the very idea of the normal, the fixed order that arrays humanity into two complementary, procreating sexes.
It is the gender-patriarchy system through which heterosexual males oppress their victims: women and gays. In Catharine MacKinnon's preposterous formulation, "Women and men are divided by gender, made into the sexes as we know them, by the social requirements of its dominant form, heterosexuality, which institutionalizes male sexual dominance and female sexual submission." In other words, it is not nature but "society" that creates two sexes, and does so in order that one might dominate the other. The task of the sexual revolutionary is to overthrow the norm that structures this oppression.
Queer revolution is thus the ultimate subversive project. It proclaims not only the death of society's God, but of nature's law—the very idea of a reality beyond the control of human will. For these revolutionaries, not even biology constrains human possibility or limits human hope. Theirs is the consummate Nietzschean fantasy: a world in which humanity is God. On this brave new horizon, mankind can finally realize its potential as a self-creating species able to defy even its own sexual gravity. The transformed future will give birth not just to a "new man" and "new woman," but to a new revolutionary people, no longer male and female, but queer. "Queer" is the Promethean category of the contemporary left, the triumph of the revolutionary subject over history and nature, the postmodern vision of a brave new world.

BTTT!
So!..... All Left wing Democrats are queer, is that what we are saying?
Not necessarily, but the homosexual revolution is a necessary part of their agenda to deconstruct Western civilization.
Thanks for posting this.
The homos are unsightly to see. It's time they got put back in the closet.
Thanks for the ping. I like Horowitz - read one or two of his books. He really gets it. Too bad so many "conservatives" don't. Rush doesn't get it. He just thinks "gays" are amusing. They aren't amusing, any more than jack booted Nazi thugs are amusing.
I didn't think Horowitz got it before I read this. He called Jerry Falwell a Jack A** for his views on homosexuality. Horowitz is also in favor of civil unions last I checked. The above piece is very good though.
queer......(syn) odd, strange, peculiar, grotesque, freakish, irregular, egregious, outlandish
Given how Dum socialists have a propensity for believing in the veracity of outlandish fairytale utopianist notions, then yes, by definition they are queer.
Don't you need a crowbar for that?
If you want on/off the list let me know.

I once lived above a lesbian night club in Miami Beach. The women who showed up on weekends in the lobby were absolutely gorgeous.
I agree that homosexuality is perversion. But the truth is many gays/lesbians are VERY good-looking people.
