Media become instrument of Gay Pride
Commenting on the Gay Pride festival that took place in Stockholm on the weekend Göran Skytte points to parallels between the fight for the rights of homosexuals, bisexuals and transvestites and the so-called '68 Movement: "As always, it was interesting to observe hour after hour and day after day for a whole week the parade of people who in the glare of ample media coverage constantly claimed they were oppressed and persecuted. � Back then as now: the media utterly capitulated. At the time the editorial department were in the hands of left-wing journalists (I was one of them) who saw it as their task to lead a class struggle. � All those who made any attempt to oppose the demands to make Sweden a socialist society were 'fascists', 'bourgeois' and 'reactionaries' and were silenced. Today some of the media are like spokespersons for the homosexual, bisexual and transvestite movement: Anyone who dares to question something is automatically stamped with the label 'homophobic'. I've even heard the term 'hetero-fascist'. I personally am relieved and thankful that this time I can keep my distance from the most politically correct subject of the moment." (01/08/2009)
