i actually agree with this, in the sense that removing capital interest from government should be the realest issue.
so many other issues would start to fix themselves after we fix that one.

roseweird posted:the movement is really badly degraded but at one point "gay rights" did actually mean like, "the right to not have your meeting places systematically stormed by cops who beat you and maybe rape you"
and the point where that became no longer true is called Class Victory

roseweird posted:yes, you are right about the movement as it exists now, i just want to keep the term in historical perspective, because it does stand for something

For years we have been seething with resentment, and we falsely assumed that things would eventually change. We waited and tried to be patient. We attempted dialogue and we considered compromise. We even offered to negotiate, but all of our numerous proposals fell on deaf ears - bars are still segregated, women are still ignored, and men are still ostracized. We have been pushed to the absolute limit, and there is now only one option left -war.
Complete war. We will not tolerate any form of gay and lesbian philosophy. We will not tolerate their obsolete thought processes. We will not tolerate their segregated bars, books, bathhouses, magazines, music or films. We will not tolerate their voluntary assimilation into heterosexual culture. We will not tolerate their warped shallow twisted concept of feminism. We will not tolerate their appeasement of Christianity and the greedy white male corporate power structure. Furthermore, if we see lesbians or gays being assaulted on the street, we will not intervene - we will join in.
