 | In my own words
Being gay and Right-wing is for the politically naive and uninformed. Don't take for granted that homosexuals have full rights, because we don't. The Right-wing press first blamed gays for the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. They called it GRID (Gay Related Immune Disorder) - even though it is now known that 98% cases of AIDS throughout the world are passed through straight sex. Although gays have been given limited rights under the Labour Government, we are still subject to abuse, discrimination and harassment, on the streets and in the workplace. Capitalism promotes homophobia through its usual method of suppressing the working class - divide and rule. All socialists welcome gay people, and we are the only political wing who have fought hard for gay rights. It was socialists that forced through homosexuality's legalisation - but we are nowhere near where we need to be, when a person's sexuality is not even an issue, with anyone. |
This Week's Plan...
....and the plan of a long time to come, is to unite gay Socialists in Yorkshire with the strategy of our national and international Socialist movement (the Committee for a Workers International), which has Socialist Parties in 40 countries worldwide. We fight for equality under the law, protection from harassment and discrimination, and against individual or collective homophobia wherever it rears its head. Join us.
