I’ve often revised Rebecca West’s famous century-old definition of “feminist”: I don’t know exactly what a militant gay activist is, but I know that people call me one whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.

A “militant homosexual” is a gay person who challenges the heterosexual supremacist status quo.

darkmoonman,

That is flatly false. Log Cabin has never published that the way to gain access was to be totally invisible to the straight community.

I fear that you are simply engaging in bigotry and hatred against a group of people about whom you know little and whom you are willing to defame.

A survey of prospective clients before any Gay or Lesbian professional accepts their money for services should be done. IF the prospective client shows ANY leanings toward ANTI-GAY actions or thoughts we as a GAY and LESBIAN community should refuse to allow them the use of our services. Sounds harsh but it would be noticeable when the straight right-wing hags are in their NATURAL form,and weddings are of a…well base function. I did this when I was a mechanic and it soon got around that “that faggot will bust you if you say the wrong thing”. Just a thought.

Well, the Log Cabin Republicans have concurred with this for decades. I clearly remember their published stance in the late 80′s to be that the way to gain equal rights for the gays was to be totally invisible to the straight community. It worked for women and blacks, didn’t it?

So… wait. I’m a “militant” bisexual because I don’t think I’m some horrible, rebellious, “unnatural” god-hating FREAK?

I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or vomit!
