What was origally known as the “gay liberatn” movement was born out of a wi-rangg cultural ferment on the left the 1960s and early 1970s that also gave rise to the women’s liberatn, anti-war and Black power movements, a cross-pollatn among activists groups scribed Cornell Universy’s archive on the history of gay activism. Given this background, and aid by the fact that their nservative antagonists were generally favor of ee-market enomic polici, gay rights activists durg the 1970s were associated wh a hostily toward palism, markets and rporatns.

Pani — often persuad by ternal affy groups formed by their own gay employe — implemented nondiscrimatory hirg l and extend benefs to same-sex domtic partners when virtually no natnal policians were willg to support such polici publicly. For most of the late 20th century, the private sector well outpaced the polil tablishment on gay while many early gay radils were unrstandably spic of rporate Ameri, we n now safely say that those worri were overstated — and, at tim, based on pre-existg iologil mments that had ltle to do wh sexual eedom or civil rights.

And ’s weirdly old-fashned to be repeatg hippie-era nunciatns of big bs when one of the world’s most valuable rporatns is led by an openly gay if was the se that most gay people were cltered at one end of the polil spectm prev generatns (impossible to say bee of the lack of pollg), that’s not te today. But if gay rights supporters want broar, rather than narrower natnal support, tyg their agenda to unrelated enomic stanc will only further dimish the pool of potential ’s weirdly old-fashned to be repeatg hippie-era nunciatns of big bs when one of the world’s most valuable rporatns is led by an openly gay is perhaps evable that stutns that are herently polil (bee they are ntrolled by the ernment) will be flashpots the culture wars, the private part of society based on markets, petn and voluntary associatn has a much greater opportuny to fe nflict — if we allow to stay private and voluntary.

While some skeptics will always be cynil about the motiv of pri-themed products and marketg mpaigns, the rabow packagg on store shelv is a stunng advance om a time when many pani were worried that havg a sgle openly gay employee would lose them ctomers and st them money. I spect that every sgle one of the pani supports the feral “Equaly Act” (a top HRC prry), which would add homosexualy and transgenrism as creria for Ameri’s Civil Rights law–thereby elevatg “rights” based on sexual-and-genr perversn (and immoraly) to noble civil rights stat the law. This would have a vastatg impact on people and stutns of fah–and enhance the abily of LGBTQ activists to legally bully Cristians to supportg radil “gay” and “trans” agenda ems like homosexualy-based “marriage” and transgenr “rights.

Then, days before the even,, Pue thought he was buyg ads on Facebook to advertise the speech, but disvered that, even after the social media giant ially had “approved” his ad for the “Exposg the Homosexual Agenda” speech, the ads never ran! All of the shenanigans should remd that the pro-LGBTQ (Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer) revolutn is propped up by liberal enablers who are so aaid of a ee and fair bate about homosexualy, transgenrism and other perversns masqueradg as “rights” that they are forced to shut down opposg views, through the law if necsary.
