I knew it would happen.
It seems every time I weigh in on any gay issues, I make the
site Q-Tips list of "reports from the self-righteous right", and it happened again. This time when I pointed out in "
A Dishonest Debate" the Janus-faced arguments of those who crow about the "changing images of family in children's entertainment" and then deny in public that anything is happening when someone on the right criticizes this. But apparently, to point out this dishonesty makes me "self-righteous".
As I said last time in "
A Sign I Have Made It", the most amusing part of this is that I am hardly their caricature anti-gay right winger. I don't care what anyone does in terms of their sexual preferences (excluding, of course, rapists and pedophiles). I am rabidly opposed to the authoritarian social conservatives who would impose their own brand of censorship and coercive mores (see "
The State and Morality" and "
A Bit More Explanation"). I even wrote "
Solving the Gay Marriage Debate", "
Updating an Old Post" and "
Revisiting Gay Marriage" arguing that the state should get out of marriage and leave it a private matter.
How I became a target on the LGBT hit list puzzles me.
Ah, well, I take readers wherever I can get them, even if they are coming only to vent their self-righteous PC spleen. So, welcome Q-Tips readers. If you want an honest debate, feel free to post a comment, I am quite open to arguing the points I raise. If you want to simply vent, you can do that as well, though I won't take the time to give a full response. Still, please, have a look around. Perhaps the "self-righteous right" isn't quite what you have been led to believe it is.
UPDATE
I do admit to one part of the charge. I am a right winger. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
POSTSCRIPT
Since I have written several articles which may offend Q-Tips readers, questioning the biological basis of homosexuality, questioning the gay rights agenda, some gay scholarship, a few on PC verbiage, etc., I will provide links to all of those that I can recall:
Biology as Justification
A Question About Language
Deceiving Themselves?
Don't Liberals Notice the Contradictions?
Follow Up
Myths of Homosexuality
Correlation and Causation Revisted
Gay Rights or Lawyer Pay Day?
Unlikely Agreement
An Old Bone of Contention
Just Asking For It
A Question About Biological Theories of Sexual Identity
Pseudo-Homophobes and Silent Assent
Mistaken Refutation
A Dishonest Debate
I am sure that many will disagree with my thoughts on these issues, but honestly, except for going against the conventional wisdom on the left, what is so closed minded or offensive about what I wrote? I raised questions of inconsistency or drawing improper conclusions from evidence. Is that no longer allowed?
