I just love it when these hysterical Neo-Marxists get angry and throw a fit. They immediately launch an adhominem attack when somebody lights a fire under their condescending, pompous arses. What is particularly sad about these Neo-Marxists and their outdated revolutionary vision of the world is they have truly marginalized themselves by their socialist rhetoric. What is particularly troubling to these Neo-Marxists (read: Kindergarten Bosheviks) is most gays already are a part of the mainstream in America.

Most gays and lesbians do not view themselves as outside the mainsteam. To the contrary, we are very much a part of mainstream America. Our principled position and focus has never changed. We seek an end to state (government) discrimination and gays are entitled to the same rights in law as straights. The principle here is Civil Equality -- not Gay Rights which are neither human rights nor civil rights.

What the extreme Left has attempted to do is shift the focus from demanding equal rights to special rights -- for Gays only. The Gay Left has sought Anti-Discrimination Laws on the misguided assumption these laws would protect Gays as a special class of people. Quite the contracy. Anti-discrimination laws would threaten civil liberties, society in general, and gays.

Gays and Lesbians are a permanent minority in America and always will be a permanent minority. We have long recognized that discrimination against people simply because of their sexual orientation exists and is morally wrong. But we also recognize that it is not the role of law itself to correct every wrong in our society. We also know that with enough money, it is far easier to cajole and change the minds of lawmakers than it is to change the attitudes of millions of voters. Law is not, and has not been, the solution to sex and racial discrimination and will not be for sexual orientation.

I recognize that many gays on the left get frustrated when you don't share their narrow viewpoint of the world. It's best to keep our squabbles in perspective. As a Gay Conservative, I know the Left thinks we're overbearing or self-righteous. But, at least we're not demanding the state lock up Gays under the rubic of a sodomy law. Just remember the line from an old movie: they may be rancid butter, but they're on our side of the bread.

It's understandable why some on the Left have animosity towards Gay Conservatives. The only people they've ever known as "conservatives" told them they were immoral, unnatural, or worse. This does not, however, excuse the Left for its own lack of understanding of our conservative approach to achieving equal rights under the law. If anything, it underscores our obligation to educate and fill in the large gaps in their understanding of our principled position in achieving the goal -- Civil Equality under the law.
