RENWL

This is a post from the ultra conservative blog Understandtheconsequences.com.  Its latest article argues that the LGBT community’s quest for equality isn’t really for equality at all.  You have to read it. Their logic is quite rational, in truth—even if it is extreme and seeped in homophobia.  RENWL’s going to start featuring Jabs From The Right posts more frequently because we feel YOU NEED to know what the right is talking about. Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh rants simply aren’t enough.  Actually, they’re distracting and for show. We feel there’s way way way too much focus on conservative pop celebs and not enough on the REAL people who actually push the anti-equality agenda. You need to read their arguments that they’re making to their audiences on why you shouldn’t have full civil rights in America. You need to know what they are talking about.

Equality For Who? Equality For What?

Advocates of same-sex marriage refer to their cause as “marriage equality.” “Equality for who?” I asked in a previous post. “Does the answer… include bisexuals who want to marry a man and a woman? Polygamist men who want to marry multiple women?” There is simply no logical reason why, if gays and lesbians are entitled to “marriage equality,” polygamists and polyamorists should be disentitled to marry multiple parties under the same equality banner.

In this post, I move beyond the “equality for who” question and address “equality for what?” In other words, if relationships between two gays or lesbians are entitled to be treated equally under the law, what other aspects of gay culture must also be treated the same?

Indisputably, “rates of infidelity are higher among gays and lesbians.” This appears to be true even among legally married gay couples in Massachusetts according to this New York Times article: One couple in particular decided that monogamy was impractical and both partners agreed to allow extramarital sex. If nonmonogamy is synonymous to some degree with being gay, must nonmonogamy be valued equally with monogamy? Should couples who sleep around be treated equally to couples who maintain fidelity just because the former couple is gay, for purposes of child custody determinations for example?

Adam Lambert’s performance at the AMA Awards last month, which included various simulated sex acts, was “all about gay sexuality.” After CBS edited out portions before broadcasting it, numerous gay rights groups complained and demanded equal treatment for images of gay and lesbian people. According to Lambert, “If it’s edited, that’s discrimination.” If public portrayals of gay sex acts on prime-time television are synonymous to some degree with being gay, must such performances receive equal air time? Should television stations be prohibited from refusing to air flamboyant sexuality simply because the performer is gay?

According to the gay-friendly Encyclopedia of Homosexuality, adult-child relationships until “very recently” were accepted as a “major part” of male homosexuality. On the other hand, the controversy over Barack Obama’s safe school czar, Kevin Jennings, suggests that these relationships, even today, are an accepted part of gay culture. Jennings has been criticized by conservatives for, among other things, his history of being highly permissive of sex between older men and young boys. His advocates have accused his critics of being motivated by hate and homophobia. If adult-child sex is synonymous to some degree with being gay, must it be valued equally to sex between consenting adults? Must older men be allowed to legally have sex with minors simply because both participants are gay?

Under the theory of “marriage equality,” the answer to all my questions is “yes.” “Marriage equality” is about far more than gays marrying. It is the latest phase in the sexual revolution that seeks to elevate all aspects of gay culture to the mainstream.
