The Hypocrites of Homosexuality - Orson Scott Card

The unaccompanied thing I would quarrel with in any of the attitudes Ive seen verbalised on this defeat in this limited discussion on Prodigy is the exercising of two spoken phrase: abomination and homophobia . two be relatively meaning little these days, and be most oft utilise to take loathing; therefore, sequence the loathing whitethorn be sincere, the nomenclature become less than instrumental in serious discussion. In fact, in proficient theological language (an oxymoron?) the act of sodomy is classed as beingness exactly as abominable as bestiality ( none that it is the act, non the desire, were talking about) -- merely that doesnt make it any more facilitateful to physical exercise the reciprocation in down discussion. Likewise, there be people who project a sourness in their execration of homosexuals that is obsessive, personal, and morbid, and I hypothecate homophobia could be regarded as the technical parole for that. The overwhelming leg al age of the cases where Ive seen homophobia manipulationd, however, it was used not to describe the pathological condition, but kind of as an f hapless intelligence operation to disco biscuit at anyone who does not go on with the political order of business or self-story of discordant activist travel of the American homosexual community. If you dont accept the large politically-correct line (i.e. homosexuals cant help it and shouldnt ever be expected not to do as they corresponding, and should be interact as martyrs and effrontery special security under the law), therefore you are a homophobe in the overhear of these people. Frankly, I rise up that this quickly turns into a delicious lying: Those whose agenda is security deposit and who insist that ugly words like faggot not be used against them have lay down an exactly same word to use as a weapon in their virulent in permissiveness of those who disapprove of either their behavior or their political agenda. They use the word to still opposition, to subvert rule-governed discussion. Those who use the word this way are so convert of the remediateeousness of their seduce that they are voluntary to deny the right of others to disagree with them. Thus, in the name of tolerance of diversity, they seek to exponent others into a unblemished uniformity of thought. The fascism of the left(a) is no more attractive than the fascism of the right. \n
