It's growing worse, not better

[fpb]

Years ago, I saw a couple of homosexual friends of mine coming home beaten black and blue, the victims of a gay-bashing assault. Now I read of a whole string of assaults on homosexual tourists and prominent gays in Italy, and of the gay-bashing murder of the captain of the women's national soccer side - a known homosexual - in South Africa. And I am told that queer-bashing is normal in the poorer areas of Washington DC.

In a different moment, one might debate why this poison is spreading. Here and now, I will only say that one does not have to have a San Franciscan outlook to find this revolting, unacceptable and to be suppressed.

And in Washington DC it seems that the local black community has to do with them. Mind you, some PC attitudes would not allow people to criticize blacks, so we are pretty much at the same place.

The American black community is very strongly homophobic. This attitude is reinforced by both the black Christian clergy and by the Black Muslims of various stripes. And Obama has not improved matters.
