Sorry LGBT, the Left Has Met Someone They Like Better

by

(HT: pst314) A liberal New Yorker finds out the hard way that gays are no longer the left’s favorite toy; Mohammedans are the shiny new thing.

Last month, when Marine Le Pen refused to put on a headscarf for a meeting with Lebanon’s “Grand Mufti,” a friend of mine, whom I’ll call Dave, commended her for it on Facebook. Dave, as it happens, is a Manhattan liberal who voted for Hillary Clinton, despises Donald Trump, and thinks Le Pen is a fascist. But he’s also a gay man who’s very clear-eyed about the danger of Islam, especially to gay people, and who is angry at the left, both in the U.S. and Europe, for appeasing the Religion of Peace. And so he gave Le Pen a thumbs-up for her gutsy action.

Since Dave’s own friends list consists almost exclusively of other big-city liberal types, he was immediately savaged for his post on Le Pen. One of them wrote that just because Muslim women decide to cover their hair or body doesn’t mean they’re oppressed, and added that Le Pen, by refusing to wear a headscarf, wasn’t standing up for women but simply “trying to spread hate” towards Islam. Another of Dave’s friends agreed: Le Pen “didn’t behave properly.” …

In response to his friends’ complaints, Dave tried to play the gay-rights card, explaining to them that if they accepted the Muslim rule that women need to don a veil to meet a mufti or enter a mosque, they also had to accept the Muslim requirement that gay people – people such as himself – be stoned to death. Plainly, Dave expected that this argument would win the day with his oh-so-liberal, oh-so-gay-friendly friends. But it didn’t. On the contrary, their responses made it clear that they’d fully accepted the current progressive pecking order among officially recognized oppressed groups: gays (especially affluent gay American males such as Dave) are at the bottom of the ladder; Muslims are at the very top. Which means that when gays criticize Islam, a decent progressive is supposed to scream “Islamophobe”; but when Muslims drop gays to their deaths off the roofs of buildings, one is expected to look away and change the topic.

The Democrat Progressive Left has no fixed set of ethical standards, moral principles, or concept of inalienable rights. What they have is “What feels good right now” and “What is politically advantageous right now.” And what feels good right now is virtue-signaling about Mohammedans. Inconvenient realities about the beliefs of Mohammedism vis-a-vis homosexuals must not be allowed to stand in the way of self-righteous virtue-signaling.

And there is a political calculus as well. Globally, Mohammedans outnumber gays and mass immigrations and high birth rates mean there are more votes in mosques than gay bars. Also, Mohammedans share the Democratic Progressive Left’s lust for absolute political authority and violent repression of opposing belief systems. So, there’s that.

  2. It’s because gays won their battles and are accepted into American society. Muslims are still “oppressed” people. And Marxist values about oppressed and oppressors still hold sway amongst the Left.

  3. “Inconvenient realities about the beliefs of Mohammedism vis-a-vis homosexuals must not be allowed to stand in the way of self-righteous virtue-signaling.”

    That sentence encapsulate Vince’s worldview to a T. No wonder his nickname is al-Cray-da.

  4. “and high birth rates mean there are more votes in mosques than gay bars”

    Especially when moslems start attacking more gay bars than Pulse & Neighbors in Seattle.

  5. THe gay left learned nothing from the Pulse massacre. They blamed Christians, NRA, state of Florida…… It was truly a “jump the shark” moment for me.

  7. Democrats have built a house of cards made up of minority groups, which they promise the world to, in order to win their votes, then do nothing for, lest each group discover that they can’t have everything because this other group doesn’t want them to have it.

    Remember that Proposition 8, which passed in California in 2008 was bolstered by a surge in blacks voting for Obama, who was against gay marriage at the time.

    When strategists started telling Republicans that they had to do the same, I was ready to tear my hair out.

    “NO, you idiots! Don’t play their game! Appeal to what we all hold in common! That wins the day!”

    It is what swept Reagan into office, and now Trump.

    Learn.

  9. Its more like they need Muslims to do the oppressing Christians won’t do. As long as the hate exists, they cab blame Republicans or conservatives, just like its Republicns fault when BLM loots and pillages a black neighborhood, or when anti-semitism is spread as a liberation ideology.

  10. First they came for Labor, and cultivated their votes. And I did nothing.

    Then they came for the African-Americans, and handed out free-stuff. And I did nothing.

    Then they came for the Latinos, and promised immigration for all their relatives shamelessly. And I did nothing.

    Then they came for The Gheys, and promised sex-in-the-streets.
    And I did nothing.

    Then they came for the Mohammedans, and embraced their Sharia. And I did nothing.

    Then the Mohammedans had them killed. And I laughed at their stupidity

  12. @4 “Any society which does not encourage and support the bearing and raising of children will be replaced by one that does by sheer numbers if by no other means.” — me

    And for those who don’t believe that, look at Europe. Traditional Europeans, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish…are declining in numbers as more and more people forgo having children in favor of having more “stuff”. The population of Europe is increasing, however, as the population gap is replaced by Muslims who have lots of children.

  13. This right here is why, as a gay man, I could never support Democrats. They have nothing but empty promises, shallow ideals, and constantly shifting activism. Not to mention that help to perpetuate the myth that all gays are sexually deviant, flamboyant caricatures of a human being.

  17. Remember that Proposition 8, which passed in California in 2008 was bolstered by a surge in blacks voting for Obama, who was against gay marriage at the time.

    The dirty secret that few wish to talk about is that a large number of Black voters voted for Proposition 8 AND for Barack Obama. What Dems don’t want to acknowledge is that a lot of Blacks are culturally conservative, particularly when it comes to issues of non-hetero sexual expression. Even religious members of the Black community who wouldn’t ordinarily vote for a white candidate with the same views were happy to vote for America’s First Black President. [To that end, I don’t think that the fact he was opposed to same-gender marriage had much to do with their vote.] Liberal political operatives will react with both scorn and hopefulness when talking about organizing Black Churches. So they divide and conquer, getting candidates who pander to the LGBTQXYZ vote and then pander to the Black Church vote, hoping the latter will ignore support for the former. (Incidentally, has anyone checked Ms Ah-Ain’t-In-No-Ways-Tired’s purse for the requisite bottle of hot sauce lately?) But when separated out, the Black Church vote will almost always vote against the goals of the gays.

  18. @13: Craig, it’s been more than 24 hours so my memory might be fuzzy but wasn’t Steve King lambasted for saying that we can’t save a civilization with other people’s babies… while at about the same time, Recep Erdogan was encouraging Mohammedans to use the “baby bomb” to subvert and conquer the rest of Europe?

    General rant: the covered-woman thing really frosts my cornflakes. Why can’t lefties figure out that the issue isn’t women *choosing* to be covered; it’s women in Islamic cultures (like Tower Hamlets, London, UK) choosing to be *uncovered* and suffering abuse as a result.
