  It spills over. He is fighting against codes of conducts and diversity because he thinks its about normalizing homosexuality and he thinks that normalizing homosexuality is the first step towards normalizing pedophilia.

    This is quite wrong[0]. ESR has credited "normalizing homosexuality" (which as a social movement only began in the late 19th century) with pushing MSM away from predatory sexuality/pederasty (the Graeco-Roman/Mediterranean model, albeit not exclusive to that milieu), and towards egalitarian, affectionate relationships. He pleads with well-meaning, egalitarian gays to remain vigilant against attempts within the LGBT movement to normalize predatory sex (including pederasty) in the future. This is probably feasible, because we managed to do it starting from the late 19th c. in the developed West. [0] http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1063 http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1063

    > He is fighting against codes of conducts and diversity because he thinks its about normalizing homosexuality No, he's not. He's fighting against codes of conduct because he sees them as a Leftist attempt to gain control of open source software as an institution and subvert it, in other words, a Leftist power grab. This is not by any means the first such Leftist takeover in history. You can agree or disagree about his reading of what's going on, but either way it has nothing to do with normalizing homosexuality.
