WALTER BLOCK: Feminists are not libertarians, neither are gays. “Nowadays, the gays do not limit themselves to upholding their (and by extension, everyone else’s) rights. Now, of late, they have been insisting that other people, who do not appreciate their lifestyle, and who wish to have nothing to do with them, be forced, against their will, to engage in commercial activities with them.” It seems odd that such a reminder should be necessary, but too many libertarians have so closely associated sexual license with both libertarianism and homosexual activism that they end up standing idly by while freedom of association, for example, is violated.

Of course, the post has been removed. See the new version here. “Nowadays, many gays do not limit themselves to upholding their (and by extension, everyone else’s) rights. Now, of late, many in the homosexual community have been insisting that other people, who do not appreciate their lifestyle, and who wish to have nothing to do with them, be forced, against their will, to engage in commercial activities with them.” Point taken: not all homosexuals support the persistent violation of freedom in the name of “gay rights.” But there seem to be so few who actively oppose it in any significant way.

Update: The new post has been removed, too. I guess we now know what you can’t criticize at the Circle Bastiat.
