One of the biggest untruths being bandied about right now is that Bush started the culture war. Even Andrew Sullivan has been hooked, and the debate among homosexuals currently is will they will sit home or vote for JFK. It is San Fran that is violating the law right now and thus prompting government reaction. But as I have written, the self-titled queer theorists brought this about and intended to start this war. See a quote from Foucault below in a 1982 interview on “Truth, Power, Self”:
“My role–and that is too emphatic a word–is to show people that they are much freer than they feel, that people accept as truth, as evidence, some themes which have been built up at a certain moment during history, and that this so-called evidence can be criticized and destroyed. To change something in the minds of people – that’s the role of an intellectual.”
