I know its popular in gay culture (who am I to comment on gay culture?) to support the down trodden women who rise up. Think Tammy Faye Messner (because she didn’t want to slaughter them like her husband did), Hillary Clinton (obvious), Bijork and for some reason, Madonna. But Bill and Hill have hardly been a friend of the gay community. They are opportunists. If they see there might be a gay vote (as Bill did when passing “don’t ask, don’t tell”) they will go for it. Just as he went for the bigot vote when he said in his 1996 campaign ads that he supported DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).
Yes, I will concede that maybe the Clinton’s do believe in equal rights for homosexuals but not at the cost of losing electoral support. If she thought making out with a woman on stage would win her votes she would do it at every stump speech (I don’t think Bill would mind, he’d be too busy filming with one hand and doing something filthy with the other), just as she would likely burn a lesbian at stake if she thought it would get her the presidency.
If you think this sounds extreme, think again. But think Hillary Health-care and the genocide(or the more gentle term…”ethnic cleansing”. Makes it sound like one mass bathing of an ethnic group) of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians. As was pointed out by Christopher Hitchens in a recent piece in Slate, the Clinton administration held off stopping the genocide because Hillary wanted to get her health care plan passed first. Needless to say it failed.I won’t bother mentioning Rwanda. Rwanda and Uganda and most of Central Africa is of little concern to US interests. Plus there’s a lot of Black people and we all know they are only worth 3/5 of white people, or so says the Constitution.
I have added a link from Americablog and (my favorite blog) The Daily Dish by Andrew Sullivan both of which address Hilary and the Gays. Here’s a video from her recent gay interview (ginterview?).
I wanted to read this post but I couldn’t see the type against the background.
