Subversion ? the marxist anti-family agenda ...Wtf ? Subversion ? the marxist anti-family agenda ?<BR/><BR/>Well this is an enlightened stance for a supposed libertarian to support. <BR/><BR/>I can see someone making an argument that the gay activist movement is closely affiliated with most groups on the left but that is because until recently many parties of the economic right ( see political compass) incorporated a strong moral conservative wing as well. <BR/><BR/>Still many classical leftist movements were the same perhaps they were just the first to change and so offered the first political outlet even for people who would have felt more comfortable with a separation of economic politics a moral politics. <BR/><BR/>An example of this is the conlict in the US between paleo / moral conservaties in the US republicans and the free- business morally permissive elements such as the Log Cabin Republicans. <BR/><BR/>NZ is a better example still perhaps, the National party and Labour both incorporate members with elements of social conservatism, see the split on the prostitution or civil union bills for example. Their economic policies are the clinch and main difference. Look at ACT, right win economic but willing to legalise drugs. Stop being so one dimensional. <BR/><BR/>Enouraging an understanding of politics as more complicated than left and right allows issue groups to more carefully state their positions. <BR/><BR/>Stop being such idiots too. Gay and Lesbians have been at a significant political and legal disadvantage since the age of Ancient Greece practically.Forensic morselshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978821372097561683noreply@blogger.com
