Every time I read one of Jake2001's thinly disguised Neo-Marxist renderings, I hear a faint tune in the background that sounds vaguely familiar like the Internationale of a bygone era. What next Jake2001? Storming the Winter Palace in Saint Petersberg (Florida)?
We Gay Capitalists (read: Conservatives) eschew Leftist dogma that proclaims "revolution" in the pursuit of gay rights. What we are about is equal rights for gays -- not special "gay" rights or a special class distinction. Our principled position remains unchanged; we seek equal rights for gays because it is a moral entitlement and imperative. We continue to seek equality before the law, maximum freedom of association, and the social disapproval of discrimination. Discrimination against people simply because of their sexual orientation exists and is wrong. But, it is not the role of law to correct every wrong. Law is not, and has not been, the panacea to sex and racial discrimination and will not be for sexual orientation. We must have rights equal to straights. We are entitled to nothing less--but also nothing more.
