Over on Comment is Free, the arch queer [his word] argues "After 40 years of gains on homophobic law repeal, is there any more need for a separate identity?"He rounds off the piece with the words "Forty years after a trailblazing freedom agenda was launched, I am still celebrating LGBT pride. But my eye is firmly fixed on the real prize: a world beyond gay and straight."

OK It would have to be LHBT, but hey! Unless you want LQBT?

ReplyDelete"Gay" and "straight", "homo and hetero" are purely modern social constructs from the Age of Cant and early 19thC Evangelicalism. Before that there was a much more ambisexual approach, so long as people did duty of getting married and reproducing.
Let's not be so hung up about sexuality in future, heh?
