If Gay Men Keep Kissing, The Terrorists Win
Well. Turns out Bush has used his spy network to keep tabs on such obvious threats to liberty as Greenpeace, the Catholic Workers Group, and PETA. And now it turns out they were keeping tabs on the Servicemembers Legal Defense Fund, which works to protect queer soldiers and overturn DADT.
A February protest at NYU was also listed, along with the law school’s LGBT advocacy group OUTlaw, which was classified as “possibly violent” by the Pentagon. A UC-Santa Cruz “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” protest, which included a gay kiss-in, was labeled as a “credible threat” of terrorism.
Yup, those gays! We all know about the radical queer terrorists who are blowing up the Midwest!
This isn't about "credible threats." This was never about "credible threats." There was one message behind Bush's privacy violations, and it is clear: "I don't like you."
