Charles Winecoff on Gay Rights

Via Dan Collins and Memeorandum, Charles Winecoff, who is homosexual, repudiates the extremist nihilism of the left's radical gay marriage movement:

Late last year, when the gay community was working itself into a frenzy over the passage of Proposition 8 -the measure to amend the California State Constitution to define marriage specifically as a union between one man and one woman - I realized I didn’t trust the community anymore. And I’m gay.

The realization didn’t come overnight; it had been forming for some time. But the Gestapo tactics over Prop 8 - McCarthy-style blacklists, boycotting of otherwise gay-friendly businesses, apologies coerced out of individual supporters who made the “wrong” choice, enforced politically-correct donations to the Human Rights Campaign - clarified it for me.

I hadn’t left the community, it had left me. When did the gays get so mean, anyway?

This is the most powerful essay I've read on gay rights extremism since the election. Read the whole thing, here.

Wincoff tells it like it is: Gay radicals are in bed with this country's Islamist enemies, and their agenda is not about "civil rights," but the complete takeover of the American political culture and the state.

Anyone who doesn't get with the homosexual steamroller is a"bigot" and "Christianist."

Here's the perfect conclusion:

Civil unions already offer gay couples the same basic legal status as married couples in several states, including California (and they’re a lot easier to get). But as a result of the gay community’s mass hissy fit to usurp marriage, the religious right has been re-ignited in its holy war against legal recognition of any gay relationships at all.
