“You don’t want the Gay Liberation Movement to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan,” the Archbishop of Chicago (they seriously have those?) recently said.
And he’s right. I certainly don’t want that. That would be terrible, if that happened.
In fact, here’s a list of some things which would be terrible, should they come to pass:
- The Gay Liberation Movement morphing into something like the Ku Klux Klan.
- The ACLU transmogrifying into three hundred Spartans.
- My fiancée being replaced by a clone of John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
- A plate of fish fingers eating me for dinner.
- My house being haunted by the ghosts of dinosaurs who used to roam the plains of ancient Kent.
- Discovering that my life is being written by Dan Brown and I’m about to be plunged into a web of intrigue and conspiracy and clunkily expository dialogue.
- The Catholic Church so ignoring the teachings of its heralded Messiah that it protects child abusers and puts thousands more young people at risk of serious harm by impeding criminal investigations.
Fortunately, I think I’m pretty safe from most of those horrendous possibilities. Nearly all of them, in fact.

A fantastic response to an idiotic straw-man argument! This totally made my day!
i think some gay rights organisations/individuals are fascistic to be honest. Many of them tend to serve the interests of middle class white man. They are often prejudiced against less ‘powerful’ minorities and individuals, e.g. bisexual people and trans people.
The incidents around East London Pride and those anti gay stickers involved a lot of racism and Islamaphobia.
AND there are even one or two gay groups calling for a gay nation, a gay only state.
Also I have been in discussions online with gay activists where I and others have been called ‘scum’ and ‘subhuman’. And I get blocked, deleted, censored by gay writers/activists online all the time.
