Thanks for copying that from the online comments at The Nation for us (some of us avoid online comments cuz they often are the sewage of the internets) — never would’ve seen it otherwise! I like how he got in the bits about lovemaps, Scouting and the Church, shotacon, and on and on! So smart, so erudite, our fellow traveler and NAMBLA friend Bill. I too hope he reads BC and says hi (and sticks around). And much of what he wrote rang true for me tonight, with widespread racial justice riots happening around the world. These riots are ringing true for some people who are FINALLY realizing that Black Lives Matter isn’t about identity for most people, but about actual loving, humanistic treatment of our fellows born with dark skin. He’s right — Oscar Wilde and so many others would be in jail right now if we carry sexual/gender identity politics as far as we have. Were the Stonewall riots supposed to end up, 50 years later, with a strict definition of age-locked “oorientation” and a heteronormative identity? Bill for Prez! Or maybe a current pandemic/riot cam boi for future prez.... Bill can be his senior advisor. |
