methinks Lynn is misunderstanding David's position unless i am mistaken, David is gay, and his objection is not rooted in any opposition to people "finding happiness" in same-sex relationships, it is in the decision of the leadership of the GLBTQA movement to focus on hate crimes legislation as a solution to homophobia, and gay marriage as a solution to inequality. One may disagree with David's positions, but hostility towards hate crimes legislation and the campaign for gay marriage is widespread amongst many young radical left queers in North America. The reasoning is not homophobic, it is rather than in supporting these campaigns the self-appointed leadership of the lesbigay movement is pushing a conservative pro-state strategy which is informed more by wanting conform to some middle-class heterosexual ideal than it is in keeping with the traditions of queer radicalism as expressed in the 1960s-80s.
