"There are signs right now that public opinion is cooling on gay marriage, particularly amongst the Fuentes-tending youth." More like only amongst the Fuentes-tending youth, which isn't saying much. The interview itself got boring, but I watched enough to note that he's talking about approval of gay marriage only among Republicans, which isn't saying much. Firstly, party membership has long been in decline in favor of non-affiliation leaving the wackaloons overrepresented within the two parties. Second, the decline in approval is probably a temporary setback in reaction to wokism which has been fizzling since 2022 anyway. Gays don't need to be Fuentes-friendly. They just need to dump the woke baggage holding them down. With all that in mind it makes even less sense for BLs to chase the Left or the Right. Not just because neither side wants us, but because choosing one side over the other will make the opposite side target us even more. BL is not a political force of any kind. We have no constituency -- no political home. It's hard enough for even an open atheist to find a place on the national stage, so asking BLs to find a niche on one side or the other seems even more absurd and tone deaf. Also, even if it did make sense to chase politics, we are in a unique transition period in which the two parties' composition and internal power dynamics are being disrupted and redefined. For the Dems this started with the rise of Donald Trump. With the Republicans it will being in earnest with his departure. The parties don't know who they are anymore and Trump's cult of personality has staved that off for the Republicans only briefly. In such a political atmosphere your beloved Fuente-boppers stand to fizzle out as quickly as the wokists did. "Modern faggotry was born in secretive, rebellious satire, and any attempt today to marry and have kids will inevitably and correctly be seen as an unsettling parody." The gay movement gentrified decades ago precisely because rebellion was not representative of all gays; just of the most visible ones. Gays, like anyone else, by and large want lifelong companionship and to raise families. That's not a parody. That's just normal. Gay rights aren't "ending"; it's just the "revolution" part of the title that's ending. ![]() |
