A Gay Pride Litmus Test: We Are the Rainbow Canaries
Our nation stands, but our civil society has fallen.
THE FOUNDATION OF A CIVIL SOCIETY is the capacity of its members to recognize and value the humanity of others. No matter the differences in belief or ideology or appearance, at our core we are human; that is the first element of identity. Whatever we may seek to be in this world, it is built on our humanity.
The question is what does it mean to be human? Rumination and conversation on the nature of humanity may be passé, but without them we descend into the current inhumanity we experience daily.
Like any tribe, there are membership requirements to being human. While we are not having conversations about the nature of humanity, we are certainly having arguments about who’s allowed to be human. While many to most who are willing to take up the debate on what constitutes the human happily rely on religious texts and emotional arguments, when it comes to the question of LGBTQ humans, they tend to become rigid naturalists. Such rigidity expressed by ‘homosexuality is unnatural.’ The essential fact is being human isn’t a birthright, being human requires a commitment to value others as one values themselves.
LGBTQ people have been here since mammals sprouted a branch on the evolutionary tree. Probably before. For the most part, we have been integrated, ignored, or treated with benign neglect; basically, we weren’t worth the trouble of a pogrom. At least, until the Christian obsession with sex and sexuality became wide-spread doctrine.
The extent to which homophobia reaches into Western culture is testament to the power of controlling information and establishing an absolute authority for the interpretation of reality. Any power can do this, but in the West, Christianity takes the lead with a rich history of creating truth for propagation often in contradiction of readily observable facts, their adherence to the Ptolemaic model of the Universe a case in point.
At the direction of the Church, attacks against us began around the 12th century, according to Ruth Mazo Kerras’ Sexuality in Medieval Europe: Doing Unto Others. The consolidation of power by both Church and State penetrated into the daily lives of the people including targeting all minorities, ‘non-normal’ groups, such as us. …
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: When we become targets of the powerful and the self-appointed morality police, there is serious trouble in our Civil Society. …
Ed. More tomorrow? Possibly. Probably. Maybe. Likely, if I find nothing more barely uninteresting at all to do.
Ed., etc. I didn’t have time to do this today.
