sounding evangelical himself.
‘-‘It’s pure sexuality. It’s almost
like pure heroin. It’s such a
rush. They are committed in
almost a religious way. And
they’ll take enormous risks, do
anything.” He says that for
married men and women, gay
sex would be irresistible. '
“Martial sex tends toward the
boring end,” he points out.
“Generally, it doesn’t deliver
the kind of sheer sexual pleas-
ure that homosexual sex does”
So, Cameron believes, within a
few generations homosexuality
would become the dominant
form of sexual behavior.

. So we are overwhelm-
ingly attractive and irresistible.
If we are allowed to flourish,
heterosexuality will disappear.

This is like the
Madrasses of Islamic funda-
mentalism, where boys cannot
even see their mothers or sisters
because contamination by the
female might take away their .
resolve as warriors..Because
you‘h'ave to suppress feeling to
be a soldier and kill your fellow
human beings.

All militaries have
used misogyny in the training
of soldiers as well as rape in

the practice of war. The _forbid- '

ding of homosexuals in the mil-
itary or at least the recognition
that there are queers in the mili-
tary is partly because a twisted
suppressed form of homosocial
bonding has been useful to the
military.

The American Taliban
would like to crucify us.

Yet what they fear
most is their attraction to us.

_ This doesn’t mean we
are not in danger. But we can
recognize their perversion of ,
desire into hate, attraction to
fear.

And we can continue
to be queerer than ever.

We ought to know, as
Audre Lorde told us, that our
silence will not protect us. And
also with Lorde to know that
“When I use my strength in the
service of my vision it makes

- no difference whether or not I

am afraid.”
Our adversaries’
biggest weapon has always

been our fear.

We must remember
how much we have achieved in
the relatively short span of our
liberation movement.

And we must proceed
in spite of fear. Queerer than
ever! V i‘

 

Those of us   a
who pay attention
to history know
that in times of
upheaval,  
scapegoats are ’
created to take
the brunt of the

population's fear

and hatred.

In this country,
the religious
right wing wants
to make us that

scapegoat
‘They raise

, reat
amounts o money
by demonizing us
and blaming us

for the ills of this
country, ills which
are in reality

the product of
unfettered and
unethical capitalism
and a patriarchy
that is always
concerned with
displays of
dominance.
