WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA–The mainstream acceptance of gays and lesbians, a hard-won civil-rights victory gained through decades of struggle against prejudice and discrimination, was set back at least 50 years Saturday in the wake of the annual Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade.

"I'd always thought gays were regular people, just like you and me, and that the stereotype of homosexuals as hedonistic, sex-crazed deviants was just a destructive myth," said mother of four Hannah Jarrett, 41, mortified at the sight of 17 tanned and oiled boys cavorting in jock straps to a throbbing techno beat on a float shaped like an enormous phallus. "Boy, oh, boy, was I wrong."

The parade, organized by the Los Angeles Gay And Lesbian And Bisexual And Transvestite And Transgender Alliance (LAGALABATATA), was intended to "promote acceptance, tolerance, and equality for the city's gay community." Just the opposite, however, was accomplished, as the event confirmed the worst fears of thousands of non-gay spectators, cementing in their minds a debauched and distorted image of gay life straight out of the most virulent right-wing hate literature.

I am not sure why this was supposed to be funny.

The word "racist" has become a meaningless epithet, as the Left refuses to define it. As they refuse to define "woman". I am convinced that the Left uses terms like racist just as a way of provoking and bullying its enemies.

Now right-wingers have discovered a term that similarly provokes the Left. It is groomer. The Left defends using pushing LGBTQ ideas secretly and openly to schoolchildren, but gets very upset when call groomers.

Bingo. I think we will hear a lot more of the term. If you patiently explain why the school LGBT propaganda is bad, then you get called a homophobe, and have to mention disgusting things. It is so much easier when one word does the trick.
