Gay Separatist Manifesto (1998)
by
K6 (aka Kingsix)
Homosexuality
exists because we`ve discovered on our own that our sex was attractive.
That
discovery occured against all intents,purposes,expectations or wishes of the
societies in which we were conceived and reared.None of us would have even been
born if homosexuality had been genetic and discoverable before our birth
actually occured.
We
ow our existence to no one but ourselves.
We
must fear those who expound theories about a gay gene.For in the current
circumstances,they express more an implicit desire to remove that gene than to
tamper in any manner with some other "natural" or "superior"
het gene.Who indeed would be allowed to tamper with a het gene if such gene
existed and if the technology existed to remove it ?
We
must be concerned by right-wing fundamentalists seeking our conversion to
heterosexuality.Because in the current situation, homosexuality
depends exclusively upon the adhesion of individuals who are supported by no
social or state organisation worthy of that name,and who are at the same time
faced with various assimilationist and conservative trends among us.
Our
difficulties with hets are historical as well as
political.
They
have originated in a het social and state structure which renders irrelevant
the good or the bad intentions or deeds of het
individuals
towards us.These difficulties are beyong any intervention confined to the realm
of personal relations.
They
are also beyong any social intervention which would leave untouched the hetro
monopoly on future embodied in hetro copyright on reproductive techniques and
exclusive property and authority over mandkind`s offspring.
As
things stand,the future is determined solely by the het breeders and owners of
this hetro circus,and by none of the political puppets or clowns speaking in
their name.
Living
in a society which reduces us gays to a minority and which denies us the basic
right to continuity and existence as a group,we cannot
consider our interests as served.We cannot dwell in moral or spiritual
consolation alone.
We
cannot contemplate living forever under hetro rule.Sooner or later in
history,secession from the hets will have to be contemplated.
None
of the existing states were there when homosexuality appeared among humans.None
of these passing entities will likely outlive us as a cultural group.We are
right as a culture and as a collectivity against any decaying state structure
whose demise we would eventually take advantage to set up our own independent
republic.
In
the course of such a process,no element of the het breeding pattern or social
and family structure would of course be retained.We would not return to the
past or dwell in its imitation.We would not settle for an heterosexual
future.We would,pursuing a general goal of self-determination,invent a future
of our own tailored to our needs and in accordance with our earthly interests.
We
do not need heterosexuality to go on existing.
We
could get all or most of our human replacements through immigration if only we
had an independent state of our own to greet and gather the advanced and
progressive elements of our people and be rid of the reactionnary ones.
Only
in such a state could we also enjoy enough political freedom of action to set
up our own breeding and education facilities,based on modern reproductive
technology and progressive collective methods of rearing.Only in such a
state,our youth could rest at last.
Only
in such a state,could we exist and thrive,and not merely survive and start all
over again at each generation.
