Its May be Your Life But It Will Be Their Choices

I think it might be a good idea to understand what we are fighting....

The enemy is not gay or straight, not black or white, not christian, islamic or atheist, not male or female or transgender, not stripper, office worker or banker or feminist activist. The enemy is not any of these things...

The enemy is the person that spreads hate and lies and spends their time trying to destroy other peoples lives while hiding behind a cause of convenience. They do this because it makes them feel better about themselves. When they have kicked over their first target, they will find another, because that's the way they are driven. The urge can never be satiated because its internally driven, so the only thing that will make them change their mind is their minds being changed, not society because society can and never will be able to change enough to satisfy them. That's the attitude that we are fighting and we must never forget, because if we do we are all lost.

Two years ago I expressed the opinion that the Object agenda would be abused and used as a precedent against any other group or activity that anyone else disapproves of. We have seen in Hackney that 'Expectations', a gay bookshop was targeted. We see in Tower Hamlets that The White Swans amateur gay strip night has been targeted. People really need to understand that if the prohibitionists succeed in closing lapdancing and strip clubs, they will go after burlesque. Homophobic groups will then see the example and be inspired to attack gay venues, maybe because 'they are in the wrong location' or 'close to schools or places of worship'. Pro life groups will become emboldened and use the methodology to try and close abortion clinics...

It will never end and the freedoms that our descendants fought for and that we now take for granted will be eroded and disappear. 

The day the last club is closed will be the day that placard wielding bigots start turning up outside 'Heaven', or the British Pregnancy Advisory Service and for the BPAS, that's already happening.....

  1. We live in a period where many postmodern 'liberals' are really conservatives or reactionaries who have chosen fashionable causes to back: bankrupt of ideas and sound, reasonable arguments, but heavy on ideology and dogma.
