Departure for Mars and Venus, leaving in 15 minutes. Go figure. The moment the "queer as fuck" movement begins to demand subjectivity and rights, their categories get flushed. Another interesting correlation - between the growing demand for women's rights (esp. in the 70s). The moment that women actually achieved some degree of political recognition: the subjectivity upon which they declared their political rights was declared "dead." The Christian right would be all too happy to see 'homosexuality' (and heterosexuality) deemed obsolete. There is only one truth, after all. All contradictions must be cut off.
