As a Gay person I, like most others of my kind, although bein used to the usual tactics of demonizing us for use in scaring people toward a politician, ideology, or religion with no truth to what they say that really shows us to be bad by nature and things to be feared.
If we cannot be used to scare people, we are always useful as a wedge issue.
Guns, God, or Gays?
Like Gypsies and Lilith we take children. You can’t leave your child with us because the Lawd only knows what we would do.
And Gay teachers?
Please look at all the horrible things we don’t do but people insist we do.
Unlike religion that allows every child to slowly arrive at an acceptance of any particular faith totally on their own with neither grooming or recruitment, Gay teachers are all bout the grooming by acknowledging a kid exists as he, she, they , or xi may be.
Beyond the child-centric approach, dividing the adults among themselves gets played a lot as allowing Gays to have their rights means that Straights will somehow lose theirs. If Gays marry, straight marriages will be under attack. There was even for a time an adaptation of a racial segregation trope that when the Gays moved in there will go the neighborhood that was handily debunked each time a sketchy neighborhood became the place to live because the Gays made it so.
A friend who lived in Western Oklahoma and was a successful rancher decided to run for a place in Congress and then his town was gerrymandered so that by a sliver of land miles long it became connected to part nearest heavily Republican city to shift demographics. His opponent was from the”Big City” and knew nothing of ranching or the needs of ranchers yet would be representinga large percentage of the state’s ranchers and those interests. Having grown up on his family ranch that began with the land run and continued to hang on in spite of the Dust Bowl, although a lawyer by profession, he was a rancher for life.
When his fellow ranchers, who had been praising him for the work he had already been doing for them in the State House as their State Rep and stating that he would have been best for them in the long run, voted for the other guy, many admitted to the media that he was a good rancher who knew his stuff and would have represented them well, but he was Gay, and, as they had been constantly reminded by the opposition, as a Gay man, once he was in office, he would get all flighty and forget his his constituents
That was a scare tactic introduce by the city slicker’s campaign and was bought outright by people who knew better. Division conquered.
H e sold his ranch to a construction company planning to build track homes and moved to California to enjoy a more liberal environment having first made sure his rural town would be more in tune with where their Congressman came from.
It is never that we might be used as scapegoats and accepted as such by those who refuse to be informed, but how we are going to be used in such a way that Heterosexuals who would otherwise love us if they got to know the real us but choose to listen to others that keeps us guessing.
Heterosexuals reject us because of what they hear. jot for what they should know.
We are that delicious plate on the banquet table no one touches because a rumor spread that it was awful thus reserving it solely for the person starting the rumor or because someone at the table has a beef with whoever prepared it.
Matt Gaetz is using that tactic in an attempt to divide the Pro-Choice people from the Gay people by claiming it is better for Gay people if abortion were illegal.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on “Privacy and Civil Rights in Post-Roe America,” Gaetz strongly suggested that same-sex couples can only form families by adopting children from lesbian women who have been raped and He lamented that he “worries” that if LGBTQ organizations become “pro-abortion” that “fewer same-sex couples” would be able to form families.
In questions to the Director of the Human Rights Campaign who as a lawyer was supporting abortion rights, Gaetz asked,
“We have tens of thousands of same-sex couples that are raising families and raising children, as a consequence of adoption – tens of thousands, we know that as a consequence of census data. So, is there any data you’re able to reference that it would be more likely for a lesbian woman to have an unwanted pregnancy as a consequence of rape than the formation of a family through a same-sex couple adopting?”
Apparently he is unaware that in a Lesbian family there are two people fully capable of bearing children without having it be through rape. He seems to not understand that many Lesbian headed families have wanted to have the baby and worked on that?
He is either suggesting that Gay people oppose abortion for his really wrong headed reason, and/or that women, especially heterosexual ones watch out for the Gays turning on them when the time is advantageous.
Beware. Gays cannot be trusted. They will turn on you.
Gaetz also showed that in spite of having opinions on the subject or the people, he really does not grasp the concept of bisexuality. To him, bisexual women are incapable of a monogamous relationship because they never settle on one partner but keep playing around.
Otherwise, they would no longer be bisexual.
Maybe they too, like Lesbians, are good breeders for the Gay Community but without the negative form of conception. Lesbians have the discomfort of an assault while bisexual woman gleefully play around aborting their mistakes. Oh, if only they could settle down into long term, monogamous relationships unlike the Gay who are incapable of such.
He explained the logic behind his idea of Gays adopting the forced birth babies because God knows the pro-life crowd is slow to.
Speaking again to themlawyer from the HRC he went on.
“You would concede that it’s certainly more, that it’s more likely in America you have same-sex couples adopting than you do lesbians having unwanted pregnancies as a consequence of sexual assault? Right?”
He was calmly schooled on reality.
“Well, there may be, also be a misunderstanding about how same-sex couples form families. I also think it’s important to note that many bisexual women are in fact in relationships with other women.”
When he tried for the point by reducing Bisexuality to the simplest graspable concept by asking,
“If a woman is with men and women they’re bisexual, right?”,
and was told,
“That is not true, sir. An individual who is [attracted] to people of both sexes, both men – male and female, is someone who is bisexual. They can be in long-term monogamous relationships.”
“I don’t ask this to be dismissive but so are you saying lesbian women are also capable of being into men?” Gaetz asked.
“That is not what I said. I said bisexual.”
Who’s on first?
“Yeah, but my question is about Lesbians – same-sex couples, right? Because I care about this issue deeply. With the support of the Human Rights Campaign I sponsored the legislation to get rid of the statutory prohibition on Gay adoption in Florida. I felt that that was very bigoted, and I believe families are defined by love more than blood.”
“I worry that if the LGBTQ community and if the advocacy organizations for same-sex couples somehow reorient to be a pro-abortion enterprise, that could actually result in fewer same-sex couples having access to the family formation that gives them fulfilled lives. Are you concerned about that?”
After noting that “same-sex couples are three times more likely,” to adopt children than opposite-sex couples, Gaetz hit the big finish,
“And that’s why it’s astonishing to me that people that would that would purport to advocate for Gay Americans would say what we need is abortion on demand, because it’s these very people who are engaging in these adoptions and maybe it’s really not about the benefit of Gay couples. Maybe it’s about the money,” attempting to discredit HRC.
He is the one whom imagined HRC abandoning its mission of advocating for and supprting the non heterosexual people in society and then condemns her organization for it.
So the abortion issue is reframed.
No longer will women be able to count on Gays for support in regaining the right to choose because without enough Lesbians getting raped, we Gays need Het-breeders to keep the stock of adotable children since Lesbians don’t plan babies and Gay men have yet to discovern surrogacy.
