Review: Michael L Brown's A Queer Thing Happened to America (1)
, Lists blurbs by “a conservative pundit,” “a conservative publisher,” “a bestselling conservative author,” “the head of a New York City publicity firm,” “a publishing insider” and “a top literary agent” — all predicting what a flop Brown’s book would be.To Brown, this is evidence that a gay agenda controls the media, making conservative publishers scared to publish this supposedly damning exposé of how homosexuals are destroying America, its faith and its families. Only to Brown, apparently, are blurbs like this a good thing:
So it was that Brown was forced to publish the book himself, under his own press, EqualTime Books. The self-proclaimed “Voice of Revolution” put his publicity machine into overdrive to market the volume to an audience of fearful fundamentalists.
As I began to read this book — I’m now three chapters in — a few facts became very obvious. One is that a major aspect of Brown’s defence of his views is that he is open-minded, tolerant and loving, while gay activists are anything but , Dr Brown. Saying you are loving and tolerant doesn’t make it so. A hateful statement does not become loving because you’re “polite,” and you express it “respectfully” and with “grace.” Hate remains hate no matter what way you phrase it. If you deny the rights of LGBT persons and call for discrimination, and if you bolster your words with myths and misrepresentations (and I’ll be addressing some of those in later parts of this review), then yes, it is hate.
I had that hate for a long time as a closeted gay man and a fundamentalist Christian. A few years before I was able to come to terms with my own sexuality, I first had to come to terms with the fact I had believed and advocated harmful, homophobic views of gay men and women. I had to admit that, without realizing it, I harboured hate. “I’m sorry, but I’m dismissing you from your job because I can’t reconcile your sexuality with my Christian faith” isn’t, ultimately, much less hateful than “You’re fired, faggot.” Couch it in all the Christian niceness you can muster, but it’s still hate, conscious or not.
It’s teh Internetz!

Using the same tactics, I could construct a convincing diatribe to prove the anti-cute-pets lobby is full of hate. (I could also very easily find anonymous quotes from conservative evangelical Christians who agree with Brown and have just as impressive

I just want subscriptions on my iPad and the main point is, whether you agree or disagree with Apple's opt-in policy, this is still a major sticking point with many publications. Of all the magazine/newspaper apps I use on my iPad only 2 have adopted the new subscription policy. NYT was one of those but I deleted it because those prices were insane. I just want subscription options from Wired, Popular Mechanics and Sports Illustrated. I don't care about Apple's policy, I don't care if the publisher gets my info or not... I just want subscriptions!!!!!! I have stopped and will never pay another $5 per issue for anything on the iPad. Subscriptions or nothing! I am thinking of buying an iPad2. I have been wanting one for a while but recently one of my children's teachers says that the iPad has a few apps that will help my 5 year old learn a few things better. So I am starting the search. Then today I spoke with my car audio guy and will be adding a processor to the system but the processor needs a windows laptop. He also said that a hack will enable to use the iPad to control the EQ and processor when I need to do adjustments. Now add the fact that Verizon customers (myself included) never knew when to expect a verizon iPhone, and sort of gave up waiting. Those points above are not nearly enough reason to do an early upgrade and pay full price for the "older" style iPhone. I'll probably get a Verizon iPhone when I am out of the contract with my Droid X, but that's not till Summer 2012. This is the very reason why I think that Apple's policy should be reconsidered. Why would content providers such as the Financial Times be compelled to offer their content on iOS, when Apple requires them to (additionally) use the in-app purchases by which the providers lose the advantage of using their own register and keeping the entire revenue, without having to share it with Apple.
