Very interesting take, but I think a more
accurate way to put it is they've conquered the LGBT LOBBIES.
Politically speaking, the LGBT have won. DADT is dead and buried and no
one even pretends to miss it, gay marriage is almost guaranteed to
be ruled in favor of by the SCOTUS in a couple of months, and the
LGBT's only remaining political opponents are small bands of inbred
rednecks from flyover states picketing funerals to disseminate medieval
superstition. I'm not kidding myself regarding the cultural and economic
hardships faced by the LGBT community; those will continue for decades,
much like racial discrimination and inequality remain rampant 45 years
after Civil Rights Acts. But the '60s of the LGBT movement are over -
everything that could be gained through politics has been accomplished.
So, much like the NAACP turned from serious and courageous advocates for
human rights to an annoying beacon of political hypocrisy; the likes of
GLAAD now stand at a cross-roads of slipping into obscurity or seeking
out top-down organization and rich donors.
Meanwhile, the MIC
has money to spend but nobody likes them - Republicans are filibustering
their crony politicians' appointments, Democrats are turning against
their party establishment's belligerent security policy; the popularity
of Bush Jr's apeshit response to 9/11 is a distant dream. But hey, Drone
Warrior Obama is inaccurately hailed by LGBT lobbies as a champion of
LGBT rights and the MIC already has his balls in a jar - so one is
getting married for status, the other for the dowry; it's legal now
after all. I should remind Americans that until the late 1960s, the
REPUBLICAN Party was associated with advancing racial equality. We are
about to witness a similar political polarity shift as rank and file
LGBT voters paradoxically throw their support behind the likes of Rand
Paul and Ted Cruz. These ultra-conservative politicians are NOT
advocating the reversal of any LGBT victories, but they ARE radically
opposed to Obama's new friendship with Halliburton and Lockheed Martin.
And when this happens, the LGBT lobbies will be stuck in the Statist
fringes much like Jesse Jackson and Louis Farahkan - trying to garner
support by rekindling an old, burnt candle that no one takes seriously.
