The Sept. 25 Harvard Crimson reports that the university's very inclusive Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian Transgender and Supporters Alliance (BGLTSA) is being challenged by an upstart Queer Resistance Front, which criticizes the BGLTSA not for being a ridiculously unpronounceable collection of mostly consonants, but for selling out to the mainstream. According to the Crimson's story, the QRF "plans to protest events promoting conservative anti-queer politics, as well as BGLTSA events promoting what QRF organizers describe as mainstream gay politics." The group's organizers desire "not to be included within social categories, but rather to work to disrupt those categories through which social power operates." Ah, America's privileged youth at play.
Whose Loyalty Is Worth Rewarding?
Log Cabin California has endorsed Arnold
Schwarzenegger for governor, which is appropriate, since the
Terminator is not only supportive on gay issues but also the only
GOP candidate with any chance of winning. Meanwhile, the anti-gay
Traditional Values Coalition has gone all out with a million dollar
ad campaign attacking Schwarzennegger, preferring once again to
lose the election to the Democrats rather than see a centrist
Republican win. Maybe its time that the national GOP rethink its
view that religious rightists are a constituency they need to
placate at all costs.
