The Struggle for Gay Rights Is Over

From an Atlantic mag essay:
The Struggle for Gay Rights Is Over

For those born into a form of adversity, sometimes the hardest thing to do is admitting that they’ve won. ...

America is rapidly becoming a post-gay country. Gay people were once policed as criminal subversives, depicted in the popular culture as deviants, and pathologized by the medical establishment as mentally ill. Now most of America views homosexuality as benign. ...

On television, one cannot change the channel without coming across prominent lesbian and gay characters. ...

Every day seems to bring welcome examples of how Americans are becoming more relaxed about sexual orientation. ...

Nonetheless, hysteria about America’s supposedly deepening homophobia flourishes. Earlier this year, an academic journal quietly retracted a study by a Columbia University professor purporting to show that living in areas with high levels of antigay sentiment reduces gay people’s life expectancies by a dozen years. Before it was withdrawn, the paper was cited 141 times in other academic publications.
It is a little bizarre how the LGBT crowd claims that they are persecuted. They have gotten everything they want, and they control the media.

Likewise, it is strange to hear feminists complain, when they have gotten their feminist utopia.

Obviously these groups are going to complain endlessly, no matter what. It is their religion to complain about being persecuted.
