TALCOTT LIBRARY: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
It’s true, LGBTQ activists are forced to live on the fringes of polite society. No harm admitting it. In polite society there is a certain amount of exclusion, but not for the reasons suggested - that all is hate and bigotry. Barriers that societies erect maintain a sense of orderliness and provide an environment where all can live in relative peace. That’s reality in this 21rst century.
What LGBTQ activists fail to realize, however, is that the society they wish to overthrow is all that’s standing between them and a future they’ll soon regret. Once the gauntlet is thrown down and all standards of behavior are eradicated; once we are knee deep in a world where every fringe group, every person with a fetish, every outlier demands his version of sexual freedom – they’ll rue the day. They’ll beg for the 1980’s.
Being abnormal (or to use their word, queer) in a normal world can work. History proves it. Remove all sense of normal - consider nothing inappropriate, though, and what do you get? Certainly not the Utopia we’re promised. You needn’t read great books to see this.
History shows what happens to societies trending toward cultural anarchy. It’s called totalitarianism. Gone is polite society. Gone is your ability to remain on the fringe. Heaven help you if your brand doesn’t comport with the new regime’s. One day you’re in. The next, you’re out.
Truth is, advocates for sweeping social change don’t know how good they’ve got it. Like Icarus, they’re flying dangerously close to the sun.
