Gentle reader jb in ca sends to SWNID a provocative link to the always provocative John Leo of US News and World Report (Motto: "Our rankings rule higher education!"). Leo chronicles the struggle of one family in the People's Republic of Lexington, Massachusetts, to deal with the "diversity" program that seeks to inculcate the acceptability of the gay lifestlyle and its moral equivalency to heterosexuality in kindergarten.
What Leo's piece illustrates is that most gay activism is not aimed at tolerance. The fact is that homosexuals are widely tolerated. So-called hate crimes against gays are remarkably few in number, while gays make significantly more money and have higher net worth than their straight counterparts. What the activists seek is the stifling of speech and opinion that there is any moral or social difference made in one's choice of sexual partner.
The issue of so-called gay marriage is a perfect illustration. Benefits accruing to gay couples through marriage are at best marginal. Most advocates cite issues like hospital visitation or inheritance of property, all of which can be simply addressed in the absence of marriage by filling out basic legal documentation, probably downloaded from the internet. No one would bother with this were it not for the fact that the normalizing of gay marriage makes homosexuality the moral equivalent of heterosexuality.
For whatever reason, moral approval or disapproval from society matters to many people. SWNID will only assert that no one is getting the coveted SWNID seal of approval for same-sex relationships, period.
So there!
