>>When radicals, like Sex Panic, presume to speak for the entire Gay civil rights movement, it should not surprise anyone (including radical pinko leftists) why mainstream America rejects us outright. It is also for this reason why it is important for Moderates and Independents to counter the radical image of the extreme left. >><

Oh please. Sex Panic does not presume to speak for all gay men and its receipt of attention by the media doesn´t mean they intend that. That´s like saying a story in the Times about bogus African American pinko baiters living in Florida trailer parks is an effort to represent all people who live in trailer parks.

And I might remind you that Keith, the esteemed Cruisemaster, attended the Sex Panic convention in San Diego. He is, like you, a libertarian, Sun, and hardly represents a radical threat to America.

This is a potent example of your bottomless willingness to misrepresent actuality. Unlike Jake, I find your self-representation in multiple identities reprehensible, because it is the purest example of the nature of your integrity.

>>So, what do we make of a group of radicals that is in open revolt over efforts to gain acceptance by mainstream America? >>

LOL....Wanting the freedom to do what Cruising for Sex provides people information to do is an open revolt over efforts to gain acceptance by mainstream America?? What the hell are YOU doing here, Sun?

>>It is mainstream America's attitudes, not the far right's, that we must change toward us. When radicals within the gay movement are in open revolt against mainstream America, I can guarantee you that acceptance of gays into general society will not be the choice of mainstream America. And make no mistake about it; Gays will never gain acceptance into society by revolting against and attacking mainstream America. >>>

LOL...Yeah, like your fellow black folks, right, Sun? It takes radicals and mainstreamers, a diverse coalition that waxes and wanes in its dominant character, not your de-historicized dream of homogenization.
