From Barbwire.com:
Americans need to understand where the identity politics of sex-centric special “rights” will inevitably take the nation. BarbWire readers are probably already aware that polygamy laws are in jeopardy. When other behavior-based groups demand “equality” based upon how — and with whom or what — they prefer to have sex, things are going to get really weird.
Homosexual activists are acting surprised when practitioners of, shall we say, “unorthodox” sexual appetites, press for legalization of their own preferences. These homosexuals are short-sighted, naïve or intentionally dishonest.
We’re going with intentionally dishonest.
Here’s Barbwire contributor Laurie Higgins:
Is “sexual orientation” a valid protected category? No, it’s not.
Historically protected categories were constituted by objective, morally neutral conditions like biological sex, race and ethnicity, and nationality.
Homosexuality, in contrast, is constituted solely by subjective feelings and volitional acts on which there is no moral consensus.
If “progressives” had any real interest in consistency, they would insist on protecting all members of groups that are constituted by subjective feelings and morally dubious volitional acts.
This would mean adding all paraphiliacs to our anti-discrimination policies and laws.
Logical consistency would demand that sadists, masochists, minor-attracted persons (MAPS), frotteurists, and zoophiliacs be protected for they are members of groups constituted by subjective feelings and often volitional sexual acts that are virtually always unchosen, powerful, and persistent.
The group Concerned Women for America titled the list below, “Appendix of Sexual Behaviors.” CWA explains its source:
Page numbers are from “Paraphilias,” Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (Washington: American Psychiatric Association, 2000), pp. 566-582.
