Openly Gay People Will Soon Be Allowed to Kill for Nationalism Like Everybody Else. Hooray.
I agree with this article on the repeal of the US military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy: “militarism and war profiteering do not serve the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people, or poor people, or people of color.” Much of mainstream gay-rights activism, unfortunately, is deeply conservative in that it tends to view military service and legal marriage as solutions to, rather than sources of, oppression.
The author of that article, Kenyon Farrow, is also a contributor to the Against Equality anthology.
