soreFirst seen on lavvyan 's journal.
John C. Wright is an author who will be receiving no support or money from me. The amount of hatred and bigotry in that post is staggering. (He equates homosexuality with bestiality! WTF!!) I started reading (and I've read every, single comment) with dread, but ended on a feeling of hope. I wish I could speak on this topic as eloquently as so many of these people did. The supportive comments for Mr. Wright last for approx. 2/3 of the first page and from then on there are some really excellent responses.
Here's a snippet from one of rosefox 's comments.
What I find problematic about your theories on homosexuality (which I assume extends to bisexuality as well) is that they completely focus on sex, to an almost pornographic degree. Sexual desire can be motivated by many things other than procreation: wanting comfort, wanting companionship, wanting to share a transcendent experience, wanting to cement a relationship (and the chemicals released in the brain during sex are uniquely suited to the latter, not "incidental"). In addition, same-sex romantic relationships can be entirely devoid of sex, as can different-sex romantic relationships. As a married man, are you really saying that when you have sex all you're focused on is making babies, and that your relationship with your wife is entirely predicated on that urge? And if that's not true for you, why should it be true of anyone else, straight or queer?
My sexual orientation does not define me. Nor does my religion, job, political leanings, favourite movie, or hair/skin colour . No one of these things alone will tell you who I am, but combined they can give you insight into who I might be. To think that, today, I can (and am apparently) still be hated because of one, or more of those characteristics is staggering.
Perhaps TOR will rethink their business agreement with this man.
