THE HOMOSEXUAL MANIFESTO
By Michael Swift, "Gay Revolutionary." Reprinted from The Congressional Record of the United States Congress. First printed in
Gay Community News, February 15-21 1987
“[Links nur für registrierte Nutzer], emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and
vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your
locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater
bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of
Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our
bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.“[Links nur für registrierte Nutzer]. Instead, legislation shall be passed which
engenders love between men. All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united
artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we
present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy“Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed
because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage
of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing."
“We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked
and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators,
your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic
leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to
be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals
because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping
in the same bed with you."“[Links nur für registrierte Nutzer] Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere
to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since
we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according
to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough[Links nur für registrierte Nutzer]"The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the
major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence
in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred
from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in
homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.[Links nur für registrierte Nutzer] [Links nur für registrierte Nutzer]We will
demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that
homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man."

Nun, es ist von 1987. Wie weit ist man mit diesem Plan nun gekommen? Hat sich nicht vieles verwirklicht?
