Gay revolutionaries say some awfully queer things.

Gay Revolutionary
by Michael Swift
This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor.
We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.

There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.
We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.
The family unit — spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence — will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.
All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.

Hell hath no fury like a narcissistic hedonist scorned.
So, which guy do you find hottest, knap? I'd have to go with the guy second from the right end. Man, you find the best pics of gay men. Hats off.
Thanks. The comments on Flickr favored the guy on the far left.
I got five bucks in it for the first person hateful, bigoted, and awful to frame this same claim with the word "negro" and clip a speech from Malcom X and the million man march.
I'm a big fan of satire, but even I can't stomach the appropriate response to this claim.

Overall, people are much more comfortable making funny or derogatory remarks about gays than they are about blacks. Even if no blacks or gays are present.There are radical extremists and idiots on every side of every issue. For every Michael Swift, there's a fundamentalist screaming that we should kill the fags.
I will defend their right to say what they want, but it saddens me that they choose this sort of speech. It does not further their cause. In fact, it usually does the opposite. It stifles rational argument.
well, without the "queer" joke, it would be difficult, ben. you'd have to say something like "Negro revolutionaries say some awfully dark things"
for what it's worth, M.Swift does mark it as a fantasy, and yes, I'm sur eit was inspired by the hate speech he endures daily about how he should be killed. It doe snot sadden me that he stoops but tha the is burdened to the point of stooping and that, even when he acknowledges his wekanes, he will be taken out of context.
and I find common culture -- both fantasy and reality -- seems to more often refer to so-called straight homophobes raping gay men than vice versa.
that said, pedantically, yeah, all sorts of peopel say all sorts of things, but i won't vote for this claim on the grounds that the implication is that one group does it more or worse than another, and i don't find that true.
"It does not sadden me that he stoops but that ... he will be taken out of context."
That's bullshit (along with the bizarre comment about "homophobe rape".) He was not taken out of context.
Yeah, I think Knappster just took him with no understanding. The rest of us seem to be able to clearly understand the point of the piece.
But he clearly attempted to use the piece out of context.
didn't say he was, knappy. said he would be. read the words, not your conscience.
wow...
