Pigweed and I did a quick show on China’s remarkably family friendly tyranny.
Why is the left in America so wound up with LGBTQ stuff while the real left is prohibiting effeminate men in movies?
My eastern European socialist friends tell me the socialists and the communists were never as … what? I was going to say “pro-gay,” but that doesn’t cut it. I suppose it’s pro-non-hetereo ….
Anyway, the American left’s attachment to that string of issues is not strange. They all have a “civil rights protester”-sized hole in their hearts. They feel as if they were cheated by not being able to march and protest racism in the 50s and 60s (when there was real racism), so they’ve been on a mad search for “the next civil rights issue” ever since.
It reminds me of me, as a boy, spending time in the woods wishing I could be a character in The Lord of the Rings.
Attachment to the cause of the not straight people doesn’t seem to be a lefty thing. It’s a “left-ish in America” thing. And the best proof of that is that it doesn’t scare corporate America one bit.
