Yeah, it’s sort of funny-not-funny. Identitarian politics has become ridiculous; look for example at Charlie Farley unveiling a memorial today to individuals booted out of the armed forces for their sexuality. It always was, in law and in fact, a question of sexual orientation. But today it is reported as a memorial to ‘LGBT’ as if deliberate cross-dressing, or mental confusion over whether one was actually male or female, was a thing. It wasn’t. It was never discussed or legislated for in those terms. And yet identitarian activists have in the last 15 years or so managed to make it into an identity issue.
The LGB Alliance exists as a distinct campaign organisation because there are plenty of gay men and lesbian women who (rightly) point out that sexual orientation and personal identity are not the same thing. A great many of our teenagers are seriously confused and under pressure because that distinction has become muddied.
