Poster boy Che Guevara was particularly keen on "reeducating" gay and effeminate men and dispatched thousands, without charge or trial, to concentration camps

◼ Cuba's proud persecution of gays notwithstanding, many of the same people who are today hectoring imaginary homophobes were then sneaking off to Cuba -- Poster girl Bernardine Dohrn comes to mind -- and singing the praises of this brutally gay-bashing revolution. - Jack Cashill/American Thinker

At some point, however, progressive activists took up the cause of gay rights as part of the larger switch from revolution to "anti-racism." (The how and when of this will make an interesting history.) Given their continuing embrace of Castro's Cuba and their current alliance with radical Islam, these activists would seem to have little long-term interest in the welfare of their new gay friends. No, what excites them is the opportunity to use gay issues to divide America against itself.

They want conflict. They want chaos. They want to undermine this, the last great bulwark against socialism.

And they don't care what happens to gays in the process.

They never have.
