Moral Conservatives and the "Homosexual

Moral Conservatives and the "Homosexual Agenda"

In a stunningly brilliant (and very well timed) piece, David Horowitz analyzes the recent uproar by some moral conservatives over the fact that the White House dared to even meet (gasp!) with a homosexual group.

I suggest you read the whole piece, but here's a nice appetizer:

..[T]he very term "homosexual agenda," is an expression of intolerance as well. Since when do all homosexuals think alike? In fact, thirty percent of the gay population voted Republican in the last presidential election. This is a greater percentage than blacks, Hispanics or Jews. Were these homosexuals simply deluded into thinking that George Bush shared their agendas? Or do they perhaps have agendas that are as complex, diverse and separable from their sexuality as women, gun owners or Christians, for that matter?

In your confusion on these matters, you have fallen into the trap set for you by your enemies on the left. It is the left that insists its radical agendas are the agendas of blacks and women and gays. Are you ready to make this concession -- that the left speaks for these groups, for minorities and "the oppressed?" Isn’t it the heart of the conservative argument that liberalism (or, as I would call it, leftism) is bad doctrine for all humanity, not just white Christian males?


Glad to see a basic American ideal -- the right to make up your own mind in a logical manner without regard to identity politics -- being asserted so articulately by a leading conservative.

Classical logic!

Minerva would approve!
