The Side that’s Authoritarian Is Pretty Clear

by on

It’s well past time for LGBTQ+ activists to stop the lawfare against Jack Phillips, owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Co., and trade their authoritarian (you will do what we say, deplorable) attitude for a more just and libertarian one (you have your beliefs, we have ours, and that’s fine).
From the Wall Street Journal editorial, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission acted with particular animus toward Phillips’ faith when ordering him to create a custom same-sex wedding cake:

[A]n attorney had called Mr. Phillips to request another custom cake, this one celebrating a gender transition. He also requested a second cake depicting Satan smoking marijuana.

What Contributions to ‘Big LGBTQ+’ Are Paying For

In further evidence of how LGBTQ+ activists and ideologues are undermining the hard-fought victories that gay men and lesbians won, consider this. Charles M. Blow, a social justice columnist for the New York Times, argues that queerness is chosen and we should stop saying people are born with an innate sexuality. Here, he draws heavily on academic queer theory and gender studies academics.

Blow writes:

“Born this way,” as a slogan, was a tremendous cultural and political success. The problem is that it isn’t supported by science. The emerging scientific consensus is that sexual orientation isn’t purely genetic. A person’s genetic makeup and exposure to prenatal hormones may provide a propensity to queerness, but they aren’t determinative. …
But the time may have come to retire the phrase. It is not only unsupportable by science but also does not capture the full reality of queer experience and is unjust to some members of the queer community itself.

Is it any wonder that there is a growing backlash against “LGBTQ+” when queer ideologues are undermining the arguments that won equality for LGB people while, at the same time, they’re pushing gender-nonconforming kids onto the trans train?

Not only is big LGBT+ activism wrong-headed and counter-productive, but thoroughly corrupt as well.
