Andrew Sullivan wants the LGBs to dump at least the most radical portions of the Ts. And we cannot let him.
Some of the best news coming out of “pride month” is that Andrew Sullivan wants a divorce. Sort of. He wants the LGBs to dump at least the most radical portions of the Ts. And we cannot let him.
In a “pride month” Substack essay, he laments the abandonment of what he calls the “settlement” between Left and Right over the rights of LGBTs. [For years, I have tried to avoid using the acronym for their sexual proclivities, but for reasons below, I am going to start insisting on it]. The “settlement” was that LGBTs would be allowed to get married and serve in the military, and we would never be forced to accept LGBT marriages in our churches and could still go around criticizing them.
First, there was never any such “settlement” where both sides sat down literally or metaphorically and agreed to this. In fact, our side won 32 statewide elections enshrining man-woman marriage into state laws or constitutions that explicitly rejected same-sex marriage. These votes occurred even in Democrat states like California and even during Democrat-only primary battles like in Missouri. This should have been very nearly the end of it. But the LGBTs took it to the courts that happily imposed the ideology on a reluctant populace. And though there was never a vote, it was clear that no one wanted “out” LGBTs in the military.
Sullivan says the LGBT movement should have ended with Obergefell in 2015 and Bostock in 2020. He begins his essay by explaining that all they wanted was marriage and military service, but then he salutes what he calls “trans equality enshrined in law.” And this rather gives the game away. Sullivan argues that all they wanted was marriage and the military. But we knew all along—and what Sullivan admits here—they wanted much more. This is not merely “liberalism” that Sullivan applauds, it is sexual leftism. It always was leftism. He denies there was a slippery slope, as many of us argued, and then he praises the slippery slope that went from marriage to trannies in sports, which he criticizes and then defends.
It is a muddled essay.
