One of the characteristics of the organised gay movement over the last 20-25 years or so is how much it has become dominated by the political Left. This doesn’t seem to be to the advantage of the LGB man or woman in the street. This disadvantage is especially egregious when we look at how poorly LGB and T organisations have served ordinary LGB and T people who are facing threats from Islamic gay hatred. LGB and T organisations in both the UK and elsewhere have taken harsh action to silence the voices of gay individuals who warn about the growing threat to their communities from Islam. Sadly, some LGB and T organisations and activists seem more keen on whitewashing Islam rather than protecting their own people from Islamic assault. Establishment Leftist LGB and T organisations have put their community in danger by not being honest about the Islamic threat to LGB people.

However there are signs that things may be changing and that ordinary LGB and T people may be starting to abandon the Leftist gay establishment and are turning to the political Right where attitudes to Islam are more robust and honest than can be found in the Left Establishment. There is a brilliant article on PJ Media (h/t ROP) about how gays in some areas are turning to the political Right for protection as it is highly noticeable that the Left care more about Islam than they do about protecting the lives of LGB and T people. As a former Leftist myself this abandonment of LGB and T people by the Left saddens me immensely. In the past you could always rely on the Left to stand up to theocratic fascism from wherever it came from but not it seems any more.

Here’s part of the excellent article on how gays are abandoning the Left by Bruce Bawer.

Mr Bawer said:

Any whitewash of Islam is reprehensible. But when gays whitewash Islam in a publication read by other gays, it’s downright dangerous. No ideology on Earth is more anti-gay. In ten Muslim countries, gay sex is punishable by death. To pretend that there’s any way of reconciling homosexuality and Islam, or any chance of transforming Islam into a gay-friendly faith, is to encourage a menacing fantasy.

So it’s promising to observe that as Islam plants its roots ever more deeply in the soil of Western Europe, more and more European gays are wising up, breaking ranks with the fools and liars in their midst who preach that the “gay community” and the ummah are natural allies, and casting their ballots for politicians whom they’d previously scorned.

In April, for example, Thomas Adamson of the Associated Press reported that although gay rights groups in France had not wavered in their fierce opposition to Marine Le Pen’s Front National (FN), the party now enjoyed a higher level of support among gay voters than among straights.

Adamson quoted gay artist and Paris resident Kelvin Hopper: “Faced with the current threats, particularly from radical Islam, gays have realized they’ll be the first victims of these barbarians, and only Marine is proposing radical solutions.” The historically anti-gay FN, noted Adamson, now had “more top aides who are publicly known to be gay than any other French political party.”

The standard response given to gays of the right by Left wingers including academics and gay activists is that gays who support the right are in some way being ‘conned’ by the right. The gay Left are desperate for gays not to leave the leftist ‘reservation’ and go to political currents that are more likely to protect them and that desperation shows.

Mr Bawer added:

That many gays are embracing parties like FN and AfD is a source of bafflement and outrage for politicians, journalists, academics, and gay activists who are used to the idea of gays as docile field hands on the leftist plantation. Their response to this new development is to smear the right-wing parties as cynical exploiters of the gay electorate, and to find some condescending way of interpreting gay support for these parties.

For example, German social psychologist Beate Kupper told CNN that gays are joining AfD because it makes them feel better, as members of an “out” group, to demonize members of another “out” group.

In March, J. Lester Feder of BuzzFeed interviewed a “group of queer and immigrant activists” in Amsterdam who angrily dismissed politician Geert Wilders’s expressions of concern about Muslim gay-hatred as “racism dressed up in liberal drag.” Wilders, Feder warned, wasn’t alone: Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte was also now saying that immigrants who “harass gays” should leave the country.

Gay former MP Tofik Dibi, whose parents came from Morocco, admitted to Feder that “anti-LGBT attitudes are a real problem in some immigrant communities” (euphemism, anyone?), but insisted that politicians who raise this issue don’t care about gays: they’re using it “as a weapon” against Muslims.

Note that rhetorical sleight of hand. In reality, gays aren’t bashing Muslims in Europe; Muslims are bashing gays. But Dibi turns that reality on its head, transforming perpetrators into victims.

In this case I believe that Mr Bawer is correct in his assumptions and the gay Left is incorrect. Gays have had Leftist leaders for decades and it hasn’t protected them from violent gay hating Muslims and this Left is likely to further endanger the lives of LGB and T people in the future if these organisations are not called out as the appeasers and collaborators of Islam that they truly are.
