I find this article to be extremely concerning. It paints "mainstream gay and lesbian culture" as mercenary, regressive and right-wing. The thesis seems to be supported by naming a few particular wealthy individuals who are themselves gay/lesbian - I hope I don't need to tell readers here that this does not constitute a defence, so much as an attack. Indeed the entire article seems to be positioned as if every fault that America currently has is down to the people who supported and fought for gay marriage.
I hope that the editorial team at Current Affairs are not under the impression that supporting free speech is akin to printing anything that anyone wants to say - in this case such an outpouring of vitriolic unkindness and bigotry might have been better confined to the dustbin.
