WHO WANTS GAY MARRIAGE? James T. Sears

[This is from a column by historian and dissenting gay activist James T. Sears (Phd) that appeared in a recent issue of The Washington Blade. Full column here, excerpts below]

IN OUR POST-STONEWALL struggle, we (particularly many gay leaders) have entered a Faustian bargain trading equal rights with heterosexuals in lieu of sexual liberation for all. We give money to the Human Rights Campaign and support Lambda Legal to advance reform devoid of desire. We march for equal rights, not the right to f**k.

In 2003, there is no silence. From radio shows to Internet chat rooms, it would appear that gays overwhelmingly support homosexual marriage. But did those of us in the Stonewall generation riot to appear in the New York Times "Weddings/Celebrations"?
