This essay on DADT may be the most important piece I write this year. It’s a subject that is important to me, and I’ve been working on it for a long time.
It’s a difficult problem if you take it seriously.
How do you find a viable support role for homosexual males in a pro-reproductive, pro-family culture with a stressed or declining population? History tells us that homos get the blame and the stake. Can we do it better this time?
It’s easy to sell any “pro-homo” issue to the left, but it takes balls to try to sell it to the right. I’m pleased with the outcome, and I think I won some “hearts and minds.” What the military is doing to these guys–some of them straight up heroes–is unjust.

From the right, there’s not much to like about gay men.
The highly vocal and visible queer fringe publicly celebrates extreme promiscuity, sadomasochism, transvestitism, transsexuality and flamboyant effeminacy. It is so unabashedly Marxist that even Marx himself would blush. It is anti-military, anti-patriarchal, anti-nuclear family, anti-Christian, aspirationally vegan and virulently anti-Western. Queer theorists—the pink-haired, punk rock stepchildren of feminists—blame straight white men for all of the wickedness the world has to offer.
Gay moderates, much like moderate Muslims, offer their tacit approval to queer extremists because they refuse to openly condemn extreme behavior for fear that they’ll look like traitors, Uncle Toms or hypocrites. Gay conservatives of any variety are scarce as leprechauns, and not nearly so beloved by their lucky fellows when spotted. The average gay man is politically progressive and politically correct, he’s a multiculturalist, and like his fellow progressives he’s particularly enamored with European styles of government, however failed and fundamentally flawed.

Also, if you’re on the fence on this one, ignore the goofy San Francisco activist shtick of Lt. Choi and watch this video about Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach.
