I lived in Argentina for 15 years, it would had been the most unlikely place (in my opinion) for liberal progressive thinking, or human rights advancement when I was there last time. I think they have done some great advancements but, seriously there is still a long way to go in terms of fixing up other messes.

Do you agree that it's a human rights issue?

There's various things about is article that are just..... Off.

Dunno if it's tone, or attitude, or what. But. The originating lines ...

Even as a vocal opponent of gay marriage in the US, it’s apparent to me that even if the change directly wrought by gay marriage is neutral at best, regressive at worst, the political logic behind it made it a justifiable and perhaps brilliant first step.

So this entire article is written by someone who doesn't believe that gay marriage should happen in the United States. And.....?

Seriously. Even if you don't believe gay marriage should be the be-all-end-all of the movement (which I don't), I don't understand how you can be AGAINST it.

I'm probably going to go through this again tomorrow once I've sobered up. But..... Yeah. There's a lot of problematic language here.

"Queers" this and "Queers" that.

It's 20fucking13, ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

I use queer as an umbrella term--are you saying that's passé? :/
Or that this wasn't the right audience for it?

And then there's Russia...
