LOL@D´Souza. Apparently you aren´t aware one of our esteemed board members frequently paraphrases this idiot.
There´s no "reputable source" for this argument about gay liberalism causing our alienation. It began in recent years with the folks who wrote "After the Ball," basically a screed about marketing an image. Then it was taken up by Andrew Sullivan and Bruce Bauer.
NOne of these people maintain in their own lives the image they claim Americans favor -- yes, I have plenty of proof in that respect -- so what they really are advocating is re-closeting of aspects of gay "identity" that offend them. So, it´s okay, for example, for Bawer to be deep into S&M, but not okay for anyone to dress publicly in leather. And, even though the nature of our sex is what offends people, he thinks we can gain accepatance by hiding our desire´s public expression while assuming the smoothly-shaved, crewcutted face of white, male dominant culture. It´s that SNL skit with a twist: You may fuck boys up the butt, dahling, but you look mahvelous.
Stupid as hell.
