As Communists, we are always guided by the overwhelming principle :
to promote, defend and fight for building the unity of the proletariat
and the people in struggle against monopoly capitalist rule ; to expose,
oppose and struggle against everything that divides, demoralizes and
weakens the proletariat and the overall anti-imperialist struggle.
Our position can be summarized in three main points :
(1) Homosexuality in the USA today is an individual
response to the intensification of the contradictions brought about by
decaying imperialism ; in particular it is a response to the
contradiction between men and women which is rooted in male supremacist
institutions and male chauvinist ideology. Because homosexuality is
rooted in individualism it is a feature of petty bourgeois ideology
which puts forth the idea that there are individual solutions to social
problems.
(2) Because homosexuality is based on petty bourgeois ideology
and deals with the contradiction between men and women by turning its
back to it, (at least in intimate personal relationships), homosexuals
cannot be Communists, that is, belong to communist organizations where
people are committed to struggle against all forms of individualism, in
all aspects of their lives.
(3) Gay liberation in putting forth gayness as a strategy for
revolution in this country is a reactionary ideology and can lead us
only down the road of demoralization and defeat.
