Since I was dealing with the U.S., I used Capitalism as the culprit, but if we were in Uganda or Jamaica, another source of exploitation and oppression would have been the culprits. Clearly, happy and intact people have no need to condemn and oppress others.

The Communists were incredibly homophobic; early Gay convert Bayard Rustin (one of Dr. ML King's most important allies) learned the hard way. Mariela Castro's intervention in Cuba notwithstanding, I don't think they've changed much. <br /><br />It would be most convenient if hetero-supremacy were tied to one ideology or other. Then by targeting that ideology, we could kill two birds with one stone; but alas, Satan is too clever! He makes sure that bigotry will attract ignorant people regardless of their political affiliation.DC HAMPTON JACOBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884630801131861786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688218899576616463.post-90694161951409029892012-07-14T16:09:26.141-07:002012-07-14T16:09:26.141-07:00Thanks so much, genevieve!

I have taken to task those who say LGBT people are a threat to traditional marriage, the economy, that we are mentally ill. <br /><br />Countries like Greece, Spain, Ireland, and Italy have seen how they have been exploited and are taking it to the streets. This need to happen in America.genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041499205158357183noreply@blogger.com
