Homosexuality and the Alt-Right

The topic has exploded over at The Right Stuff:

“The notion that homosexuality is harmful to the integrity of the family, and therefore the future of the nation, is not really a controversial position within the alt-right. As such, writing an elaborate article on the evils of degeneracy for society would be a redundant exercise in preaching to the choir.

But listening to last week’s episode of the Daily Shoah reminded of something I had reflected about many years ago, but never got the chance to write about. The goys from the Death Panel had a brief conversation about the harm that pro-homosexual culture has done to friendship, and male bonds in general. I think this is something critical that needs to be further explored, since the future of the alt-right may depend on it. …”

The discussion thread has accumulated over 500 comments.

I’m not going to wade into this debate again. I will say this though: to my knowledge, there aren’t any homosexuals involved in Southern Nationalism, so we aren’t constantly rehashing this issue. It is the same way with the perennial debates over women that I have seen for years on the internet. It is a settled issue. Women are welcomed into our ranks and encouraged to find husbands, marry, and have children.

The Alt-Right is a loose coalition that is defined mostly by what it is against, “mainstream” conservatism, not what it is for. Is the Alt-Right for or against homosexuality? If homosexuals are welcome in the Alt-Right, should they be in leadership roles? Should they speak at Alt-Right conferences? What about homophobes? Are homophobes and traditional Christians welcome in the Alt-Right? Should they be in leadership roles? Should they be allowed to attend and speak at Alt-Right conferences?

The heat around these questions reveal it is a far from a settled issue.
