Has the recent ruling by a California judge made US armed forces "gay"?

Meanwhile, readers, listeners, and viewers of mainstream media gobbledygook are swayed from the larger issue of why our young people, since the end of the Civil War, and except for World War 2, have been hoodwinked into fighting to enrich profiteers and racketeers like Boeing, Polaroid, Halliburton, and so many other corporations via US armed forces and the latter’s wars of expansion (imperialism).

Dear friends,
Is it exciting that people who call themselves homosexuals can now freely join forces with others in order to protect the interests of profiteering and racketeering US multinational corporations through exercises that are, euphemistically, called wars? Additionally, if so, then are those who claim to be homosexual finally legitimate citizens, under that moniker?

At least to me, that’s very confusing, because on the one hand, they’ve estranged themselves from the rest of society, with many of them currently insisting that homosexuals are an actual “race”, while, on the other hand, these “gays”, both male and female, are seeking to be included in the process of our way of life unquestioned. Again, it’s very confusing.

In any case, will there still be a need for “Gay Pride” parades? Perhaps, instead, some gay men will lose their pink dresses and purple wigs and ride on top of tanks, along with their war buddies, in full camouflage gear, and celebrate victory along a road in some far away place, right after blowing up a hospital or day care center, as US armed forces have done so many times, previously, in places like Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

And what problems has the whole homosexual issue brought to the Pentagon? Obviously, the headache of trying to figure out what could possibly drive people of the same gender to mimick the lifestyles of ordinary males and females, much less want to be soldiers, must have left generals and admirals in a daze.

The so-called Gay Rights Movement is hardly a progressive one (i.e., movement). That’s why so many African Americans become nauseated when so-called “gays” compare their alleged plight to our ongoing dilemma and fight against White Supremacy.

Moreover, unlike the historical series of freedom movements that African Americans have initiated that have created better circumstances, not only for ourselves, but groups other than us as well, from the anti-slavery and early women’s rights initiatives, to the Back-to-Africa Movement led by the great Marcus Garvey that was followed by nationalist movements such as the Nation of Islam and the Republic of New Africa, all the way up to the modern-day Civil Rights Movement and the Black Consciousness Movement which grew out of all of the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual energies of its predecessors, the so-called Gay Rights Movement selfishly seeks legitimacy, even though their claim of whiteness already gives them advantage over those who are not considered “white”. So, they want a dual citizenship, in other words. This is particularly so, because their leaders always look the same.

To that extent, the Gay Rights Movement is racist and reactionary!

Oh! Yes. There have been African Americans like the late and great Audre Lorde and James Baldwin who related, sexually, to others of their same gender. However, neither of these giants ever claimed that s/he was progressive because s/he was a homosexual. Rather, their intellects and actions which, by the way, still inspire others to join in the struggle for human freedom, was their cause.

Nevertheless, apart from a few horny guys who want access to a lot of men, male homosexuals are not socialized through this market construct called “gay culture” in a way that would cause them to have an interest in being soldiers. Yet, lower middle class young men, as well as women who think that they will become “tougher” by joining the armed forces are much easier to lure into that kind of life. Some of the aforementioned women may call themselves “lesbians”. But, again, homosexual males are, largely, a no-go.

And so, a California judge has done what, to be sure, perplexed generals and admirals at the Pentagon have been unable to do. But what’s next?
