: Lark, much as I sometimes share feelings similar to yours, not being a homosexual, and much as I don't think that socialists need to follow a particular sexual orthodoxy, I still feel that homosexuals are deserving of more tolerance and acceptance than they;re currnetly accorded in America.I believe that homosexuality engenders a kind of hedonistic drive and revolves around gratification rather than love that is found in the worst heterosexual relationships, now I refuse to generalise this isnt always the case but this is the message their media projects and they themselves project with their parades and covorting in public parks at night.
I would agree with you that socialists should err on the side of caution when it comes to declaring principles beyond social or economic spheres but we are seeking a good society, social order etc., and that requires suggesting to people that their behaviour is a bit selfish at times.
