It took one shitty bill in Florida and a couple weeks of Fox News programming for "gays are all p*dophiles and groomers who want to diddle your kids" to become completely acceptable mainstream conservative political discourse again in this shithole country. I hope the bougie cis gays who tied themselves to feckless Dem Party politicians and treated gay marriage as our end of history moment are eating copious amounts of shit right now.
Feel like it’s a good time to remember throughout the 70s the gay rights movement was engaged in an internal struggle between an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist and trans liberationist camp led by groups like the Gay Liberation Front and STAR who allied with radical movements like the Black Panthers, and assimilationist homophile movement leftovers like David Goodstein and The Advocate who sought salvation by eking out civil rights protections from the Democratic Party. The latter tied their fortunes entirely to the bourgeoisie state and what concessions they could get from it. Then the 80s happened. You don’t need me to tell you what happened next.
