The goal of free, de-identified sexuality is laudable, but the first comment makes an important counterpoint to Aaron's claim that the gay movement manufactured its own identity: "I think you’re mischaracterizing what happened to say that out groups created their own identities, and it borders on blaming the victim. The concept of ‘gay’ existed long before ‘gay rights groups.’ It must have because the discrimination that lead to the formation of such groups relied on such an identity. It was not, as you suggest, merely an action that was (is) discriminated against; it was an identity associated with that action."
