Writing in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, columnist Regina Brett believes a domestic registry for homosexuals is a human and civil rights issue. Huh?
Although I agree with much of whhat she writes, I vehemently disagree with her on this one. It's not about human or civil rights, it's about power. It's about getting the door opened a crack so it can be kicked fully open later.
Why the issue of homosexuality is a political issue used to befuddle me. However, understanding power, I understand matters more fully.
You've heard it before - what is done behind closed doors is ones own business. I condemn the act, not the actors. Sorry, but neither Ms. Brett or Cleveland Councilman Cimperman's self-righteousness on the issue doesn't make it right.
Through Sullivan's Eye, the problem is legitimizing homosexuality - why it's OK to do it; it's a normal thing. Well, it's not normal and I won't sit around and let it the squareness of the issue be pounded through a round hole.
"Don't ask, don't tell." That door's been opened a crack and now they're trying to kick it wide open. Know what I mean?
