Reply #17: When I was researching queer theory [View All]

for my multiculturalism class I realized that the main problem for the gay rights movement is that focusing on biological determinism can actually be detrimental to the movement. We need to step away from arguing that homosexuality is biologically determined and start to redefine the terms of the debate. It is kind of a risk, but maybe we should start to argue more openly that even if homosexuality _is_ a choice that it still should be a choice that the government stays out of. We can't allow theocrats to be in control of the terms of the debate. The "marraige amendment" should be cast as an attack not just on gays, but on the seperation of church and state.
