A Long Way to Go

[seedee]

This level of hate, prejudice and narrow-mindednes makes me weep.



John C. Wright speaks about homosexuality and GLAAD's (SciFi channel) plan to incorporate more sexual diversity in their program. I was tempted to rephrase and report what he said in my own words. I do think, though, that I cannot be sufficiently eloquent and therefore ask you to make up your own mind. Here are some quotes:

...
The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie.
...
Someone explain to me by what series of events persons with serious sexual-psychological malfunctions would somehow be awarded the status of moral arbiters, something like priests and confessors and sages...
...
Why are you willing to tolerate sexual perversion but not racism? In a world with no standards, what makes a malfunction of love higher on your standard than a malfunction of hate? Is an irrational lust and longing to mimic the mating act with a sex with which one cannot mate, at its root, any more or less disconnected to reality than an irrational fear and hatred of a Negro? How do we know race-hate is not genetic? Look at how scorned and put-upon racists are! Can we spare them no cheap Leftist pity? Why don't we simply call racism an alternate anti-ethnic orientation, similar to hetero-toleration, but different?
...
I am equating homosexuality with sadomasochism, pederasty, necrophilia, bestiality, and other sexual neuroses. While a technical distinction can be drawn between them, they share the fundamental property of being objectively disordered appetites.
...
Why should we be non-judgmental about an abuse of the sexual appetite?
...
In the case of the sexual appetite, the drive for sexual passion drives us to have sex. Sex is the coupling act between two opposite sexes. The stimulation of the sex organs accidental to the sex act produce sexual pleasure, but are not sex itself. Homosexuals have a sexual desires directed toward another with whom they cannot couple: two of the same sex cannot have sex. All they can do is masturbate each other, or sodomize each other, or some other accidental side-effect of sex that is not sex properly so called. Hence the appetite is not directed at its object.
...


Now you might think that someone posting such utter bullshit will be called on. Why no! Commenters approve:

I like this!
-
Personally, I was annoyed that a nice sensitive character like Gaeta had to end up being gay and that such characters are now commonly assumed in fan communities to be such.
-
SyFy went down the road of dumb with its stupid name change and now it's just going to get worse. What, do they have to put an obviously gay investigator on "Ghost Hunters?" Must there be gay zombies now in their Saturday night movies?
-
Basically, in order to really try to convince them of anything, and I recognize that's not what you're trying to do here, you have to start with a very basic explanation of Natural Law and work your way up step by step. Alternately, you could try to demonstrate that there is no way to disapprove of polygamy or incest without recourse to the same set of reasons that let others disapprove of homosexuality, but half the time I've seen that used, the other side just drops their objections to polygamy and incest.




A comment of someone disagreeing was deleted. Though as the debate goes on, there are more and more voices of people who disapprove.

I'm speechless.

Someone tries to reason, someone else tries to explain when sex is selfish and when it's not. And this poster plans to assrape a dead goat with a crucifix strap-on in front of some schoolchildren. I actually think this is the only possible reaction and approve.

ETA. After a storm of outrage Mr. Wright first deleted all comments, then the whole entry. *cuddles the internet* I do have screen shots, though...

It's so bad that it's almost funny.
