The following quote comes from a post at a self-proclaimed "progressive" (and sometimes "radical") blog that shall remain nameless. The revolutionary PhD student in Religious Studies at Brown University (with a focus on the Bible and the Ancient West Asian world) bristled at queer criticism of Obama and the white homotocracy:
Above all, we must understand that for queer people to break through the deadlock, they have to question more than just Obama, the Democrats or the HRC. They have to ask why these people are in these positions and taking these stances in the first place. It's not because Obama is a "homophobe" or some incomplete, mystifying explanation like "rich, white gay men" (how did these "rich, white gay men" get here and assert the power they have?) Our current predicament is a result of years of backlash and political retreat by progressives. The march has signaled that a large part of our community is ready to end the politics of retreat. Now it is time for some strategies that allow us to go on the offensive.
No, for real. Some faggot actually wrote that.
How did these rich, white gay men get here and assert the power they have? Good question!
Gee, I'm not sure. Let me think about that for a bit and get back to you. Sphere: Related Content
