no I'm not, I'm laughing that it's such a cynical pet issue for flagless neoliberal imperialists and that you are upset for me saying so as opposed to being upset that 90% of african american children are on food stamps?



so what you're telling me is i should concentrate on the starving children, not the dumb words about how lgbt issues are just neoliberalism in disguise, have to be put off, are actually bad for the starving children, etc. hrrm.

i don't agree with him on this at all but i don't think lessons is specifically taking sides with obama & co on this, rather taking a more abstract position that is a bit more valid than painting it that way

in what universe is supporting bourgeois government going to make gains for lgbt people in the third world anyway? this is just overt homonationalism

yes, it's specifically the notion that not only is obama Doing Imperialism, but in fact he shouldn't be paying attention to lgbt issues because they aren't important enough at this juncture. nobody addressed this so far btw, just shouted about imperialism and how i'm calling them bigots or something.

as an autonomous personhood of natural composition, i demand an explanation or regardings to this burning. is it partial, because i cannot see such insatiable vibrance in topic. or is this merely figurative like analogy to power of heart? i am a doctor and get paid large sums of money not for speculative hyposynthesis. as my taste in things is funded like hedge in dowry i must concede opinion on this insider tip,

suggesting identity politics are being cynically coopted by imperialism and meaninglessly propagandized in election media??? what a WACkY ideology!!!1



Bourgeois LGBT compradorship is bad for LGBT people and bad for the third world. Therefore we should hem and haw about filthy shit that Clinton spews because I don't want to upset the white supremacist American gay leadership

#66
it would probably help if you were criticising the manner in which obama or whoever is talking about LGBT stuff rather than criticising the fact he's talking about it at all. FWiW

Maybe but if he was talking about Muslims, POC or the Third WorldI'd respond the same way. For SOME REASON Mr. Lessons is particularly sensitive and defensive about the LGBT politic even when its blatantly mobilized for imperialist, white supremacist gains

whatever meaningful criticisms you might have there are overshadowed by your approach, e.g., to compare lgbt issues unfavorably to what you consider the more important problems for US policymakers, to refer to them as 'polishing the silver', etc. this has been my consistent point that you've consistently ignored.

i'm directing these towards you as well, but to be a little more specific, yes, the tendency in which privileged white gay men dominate the discourse on lgbt issues is deeply problematic, not only in the service of imperialism but also within queer communities of the imperialist nations. yet you come across as though you're only interested in these issues to the extent that they can be mobilized in the support of your politics, and that's problematic as well; at best it's going to fall on deaf ears and more likely amounts to throwing fuel on the fire.

the LGBT petty bourgeoiscan get correct or get in line behind fascism, i dont care. the third world does not need to respond to LGBT concerns if theyre voiced through imperialists

well yes, that's exactly the problem, you have no stake in it either way and your motivations are unclear. as far as i can tell you're mostly interested in spitting venom at The Bourgeois Gay Men, (a phrase which in itself could be interpreted as having homophobic overtones).
