Homocons: The Rise of the Gay Right

Rating:
Summary: Ok book, but I disagree
Review: The author starts out by labeling homocons as "heartless." He thus sets up a definition with no real standard, other than his own bias. Those who do not fit his artificial and arbitrary definition are then castigated. I happen to be gay and fairly conservative - in other words, I will not vote Democrat. I have many well thought out reasons for this. But I do not think I am heartless. If homocons are "heartless," are homolibs then "brainless"? I wouldn't have thought so, but his construction seems to beg such a rejoinder.

The purpose of this book seems to be to set off alarms and to rally others to the cause of "stopping" the gay right. If I were to set out to "stop" the gay left, or anyone else on the left, I'm sure the author would label me as a "fascist." In any case, let him and others try to "stop" me. They will be sadly disappointed.

Nevertheless, this is a good book. It provides yet another glimpse into the mindset of those who would use the concepts of "diversity" and "tolerance" as cover for intellectual oppression.
