Because it exists solely to disrupt and problematize the "normal” and
break down categories until every Bacchanalian urge can be
intellectually justified as the mere rejection of some arbitrary and
unfair norm, Queer Theory rejects attempts to critique it from outside
its own intentionally unstable parameters.
[...]
Queer Theory’s applied activist iteration is being adopted by the
Democratic Party as part of its evolving political platform. And this
means that one of the two major political parties in this country has
explicitly rejected classical liberalism, rejected the idea of
universal truths, rejected the notion of individuality, rejected the
idea of race neutrality, rejected the possibility of assimilation, and
rejected the epistemological
core of western Englightenment.
That is, it is explicitly leftist and Marxian in its foundational
belief in the oppressor / oppressed paradigm, which will necessarily
begin being reflected in the social, political, cultural, and legal
output of its intellectuals and activists. It is, in a very real and
specific sense, alien and anti-American. To allow it purchase is to
surrender the host body politic to the cancer that has invaded it.

Let's just start promoting the idea that every Democrat politician is queer, and that's why they're pushing all that rainbow junk. Accept no argument. If somebody tries to deflate the idea, say he/she's queer too. And don't back down. If they say you're a homophobe, tell 'em they've just lost the argument.
In other words, use their tactics against them.

One of the unique features of the society's location is its
accessibility. Citi Housing Sialkot is easily accessible from Lahore and
Islamabad through the Motorway, which is just a few minutes away from
the society. The Motorway connects the society to other major cities of
Pakistan, making it an ideal location for those who frequently travel to
different parts of the country.

We need to start doing such things Dana. For too long we've let them set the terms of the debate and attack us. When you start defending yourself over "when did you stop beating your wife" you are beaten. We need to put THEM in that position.
I couldn't agree more.
