During the Vietnam War, the National Liberation Front condemned the US government while offering friendship to the American people. These days it is easy to feel a similar ambivalence about the gay movement and its spokespeople. In its rush to assimilate into straight society, the movement has drifted far from the goal of sexual liberation. During the late 60s and early 70s, radicals used to debate how revolutionary homosexuality was. It is clear that it has the power to revolutionize individual lives and to compel the heterosexual dictatorship to back off from some of its intolerance, but there is nothing revolutionary about it per se.
Homosexuality can be as reactionary as any other form of sexuality.
Love Association kicked out of the International Lesbian and Gay Association. Such quislings to sexual liberation speak for a movement that is losing its soul. But seeking to strengthen or become an appendage of such institutions is not the way to fight heterosupremacy. Their task has been made all the easier by the loss to AIDS of so many sex radicals. The war on drugs of the past two decades has also become a war on sex.
