Rebels with and without causes

Marni Soupcoff in today’s Post on how today’s rebels sit on the right side of the spectrum.

Left wingers have their causes, yes. But “differently-abled lesbian Asian women” are officially the norm. By all means, keep fighting the good fight, I say. Today this amounts to fighting for yet another major corporation to come out with a gay character in an ad. It is so brave! to be gay and eat a McDonald’s burger or shop at IKEA or drive a Hyundai or a Subaru, now affectionately dubbed The Lesbaru. Oh, one thing: When corporations start placing gay people in their ads–it’s because there’s profit to be had by doing so, an obvious reflection of just how mainstream some of these “brave and courageous” causes actually are. Try criticizing Islam. Try speaking up for Israel. Hey–try getting a major corporation to speak out against abortion.

I’m just saying. (Here ends the rant.)
