The End of Gay Apathy? It would be much better to experience The End of Gay Apologism.
Perez Hilton is probably as vile a person as he appears, but whether or not he "harms" the gay marriage cause is only another shooting-selves-in-foot episode gay men need to cease and desist from. He's one of us and he had the guts to air a fair question. We don't need to "distance" ourselves from him - that's exactly what our enemies know gay men ALWAYS do... we can always be relied upon to be divided and conquered because so many of us are just gutless apologists.
Carrie Prejean is undoubtedly as disgusting a human being as she appears. But a beautiful girl playing victim can peddle an agenda of bigotry and divisive hatred like nobody on earth. And she did so most effectively with her prepared speech. She's a disgrace to Christians and unfit to represent California as anything but a satanic skank with rubber tits. Screw her right to run her foul mouth off: she is fueling hatred, dividing communities and her actions will undoubtedly create violence, hatred and more setbacks. Even if just one more gay kid is bullied in school because of her widely-covered hate-mongering it's one kid too many. Her message was clear: "If you oppose equality stand up and fight like me."
This really isn't about gay marriage or Perez Hilton or anybody else: it's about how we must see this as the propaganda which is actively swaying minds who support the laws which destroy our lives. It's appropriate to vilify and shame Carrie Prejean, but not without angrily and forcefully focusing on demanding full citizenship which is protected and policed by law.
