Gay Marriage is Self-Hatred

I keep saying this. I don't intend to stop saying it anytime soon. The 'gay community' is making a colossal mistake in pursuing 'marriage equality' with heterosexuals. I also keep on saying the real reason for this: homosexuals have internalised society's hatred of homosexuality to such an extent that they hate their own homosexuality & want to be heterosexuals. No, seriously. Otherwise why would they be seeking to buy into *the* major heterosexual institution?
Not that people say that. They will give various superficially-reasonable reasons for this, but now & then the real reason sneaks out. This, for example, is from an account of how All Saints Episcopal (that's Anglican to us) church in Los Angeles eventually came to bless same-gender relationships in the 1990s:
'Mark Benson and Phil Straw were among those who pushed Regas further. In November 1986 they first asked for a blessing on their union. When Regas offered to do something quiet and small in his office they politely declined. They had something else in mind � a service just like straight folk.'

The desire to be (including ape, imitate, seek equality with) something you are not indicates a profound dissatisfaction with who you are. Apart from anything else the heterosexual world presents major dangers to all homosexuals: the *most* innocuous of these is the 'opportunity' to buy into a heterosexual institution. This post was actually prompted by the picture of Alan Turing. I didn't know until today he has been granted a Queen's pardon. No, seriously. He's been pardoned for being given a choice of jail or chemical castration that drove him to his suicide. *This*, kids, is the society the marriage equality gays are buying into. I can't put it better than Ally Fogg in the Guardian:
'In announcing the pardon today, the justice secretary, Chris Grayling, said: "A pardon from the Queen is a fitting tribute to an exceptional man." Turing was certainly an exceptional man but the tribute could not be less fitting. It says that the British state is prepared to forgive historical homosexual acts providing they were performed by a national hero, academic giant or world-changing innovator. This is the polar opposite of the correct message. Turing should be forgiven not because he was a modern legend, but because he did absolutely nothing wrong. The only wrong was the venality of the law. It was wrong when it was used against Oscar Wilde, it was wrong when it was used against Turing and it was wrong when it was used against an estimated 75,000 other men, whether they were famous playwrights and scientists or squaddies, plumbers or office clerks. Each of those men was just as unfairly persecuted, and many suffered similarly awful fates. To single out Turing is to say these men are less deserving of justice because they were somehow less exceptional. That cannot be right.'
