Gays, the poster children for Liberal compassion and a higher standard of liberty than that espoused by poor, narrow minded Conservatives, are proving to be just as venal and self centered as all us believers in antiquated heterosexuality. First, after finally getting a state to legalize marriage [I guess Massachusetts is a state- the Soviet Union never annexed it or San Francisco as far as I know even though their sympathies lied there] they are now rushing to get divorced, with some of the unions lasting just a matter of months [I guess they are following the Kid Rock-Pamela Anderson school of intimate relationships]. So after all the heartfelt pleas to just be allowed to form a relationship for life, we find them putting all the effort into marriage that one would expect from a five year old taking piano lessons. Interesting how quickly the "specialness" of the ceremony, and what it stood for, wore off.
Now comes news that the first lesbian fire chief of a major city has stepped down, after having both sexual harassment suits from other females and a discrimination suit from a male lodged against her. The man alleges that he was not promoted because he was not gay, a contention which mirrors charges that had been found to be 'likely" earlier in the woman's career.
Now as a Conservative, human failings do not surprise me, and so what this woman has done is just prove she is a person with all their commensurate faults and weaknesses. However, I would like to see the Liberal MSM and politicians step up and condemn her and other instances of "gay oppression" just like they do when gays are the victims, but somehow I don't think that is going to happen. I guess their indignation only works one way, and political correctness dictates who can be discriminated against and who can't almost by definition. I am starting to realize how hard it must be to be a Liberal- after all, you don't want to inadvertently extend your compassion and high mindedness to the wrong groups.
