[lbo-talk] Capitalism and Discourse

[BklynMagus]

> The reason why discourse of sexual orientations 
brings its own kind of repression and unfreedom 
is that it is essentially a discourse of 
heterosexism, which posits a heterosexual majority, 
who are supposed not to feel attracted to same-sex 
love and lust at all, and homo and bisexual 
minorities.

But a discourse of sexual orientation can break free 
of heterosexism although it may have started attached 
to it. 


> That is why propagation of this discourse is not 
desirable.

But you are discounting the radical transformations 
that can occur once sexual orientations are free from 
heterosexism.


> Today, many observers from the West -- roughly the 
same categories of people, to whom human rights NGO 
officers are added -- are again disgusted -- but this 
time by the dearth of out GLBTQ communities

the onlyh thing to be disgusted by is the dearth of 
choices for engaging in sexual expression and joy.  
Should people be free to be sexual in the ways of 
their own determining?
