With the slogan “straight but not narrow” Greg Johnson does not mean that we should all be a little bit gay. He is describing a situation in which it is considered normal for adult men to have long-term relationships with adult women (one man with one woman at a time), but in which no one makes an issue of those who choose to live differently, provided they do not impose their choices on others.
We tend to underestimate it, but arriving at this attitude may well be one of the most remarkable achievements of civilization. It took considerable effort and many sacrifices for Western societies to reach this point. And even today, it is not the prevailing attitude. Yet it is a reasonable one, and one that serves civilization well. It promotes stability, offers a model for living a good life, and recognizes that imposing that model on certain minority groups would turn them into enemies of the civilization itself. Nor does it obstruct the development of innovations. More on that here.
This was the official position of Orbán’s Hungary, and it is the position of Trump’s America and, in fact, of contemporary Russia and China as well.
I probably do not need to explain why I do not subscribe to the rainbow madness. But why do I not share the fears of certain conservatives that such “liberalization” is merely a prelude to the general breakdown of society? Because those fears rest on the assumption that the traditional (modern) family is something that must be imposed on people by force, or else they would abandon it.
