In reply to the discussion: Karl Rove's Bisexual Affair Might Have Sparked His Bizarre Rant on Fox News [View all]Zalatix
(8,994 posts)We're making a big issue of his alleged bisexuality... based on flimsy evidence no less. Are we not? A major part of homophobia is about making a big issue of one's homosexuality - and making them look bad in the process. How are we NOT making a big issue of Rove's sexual preferences, and how are we NOT trying to make him look bad in the process? If Karl Rove turned out to be heterosexual and we had always assumed he was homosexual, would this be a scandal? Why not? Why is there never a scandal about being heterosexual, but there is one about being homosexual? That just buys into the bullshit notion that homosexuality is somehow deviant.
Truthfully, I'm in the process of purging myself of the indoctrination that there is any such thing as "deviant" in a relationship between consenting adults.
