Dialectic of Enlightenment

(And this, folks, is why my LJ is still active. And pseudonymous.)

Most people posting the HRC stuff are straight people who want to appear fashionably progressive. The one person who dared post against it on my academic FB feed is a brown gay man who is in a kink-oriented poly arrangement. Responses were predictable: he was ridiculed for the kink. And so it goes.
