With the Sexual Revolution, There Is No Slippery Slope
by Darrick Taylor, Crisis Magazine:
Once you embrace the Sexual Revolution’s totalizing moral logic, it inevitably undermines many of the beliefs we hold dear in Western life, since it contradicts those beliefs so thoroughly.
The recent victories for conservatives at the Supreme Court are a welcome respite from the Long March of the cultural Left through the nation’s institutions. But conservatives should not be fooled into thinking things will suddenly return to normal. The Left knows it has lost control of the Supreme Court, and it is trying to find ways around its rulings already (and even before these rulings came down). Social and cultural conservatives especially need to recognize that, despite this setback, the Left has many avenues by which it can continue to impose its agenda on the country.
This is true above all with regard to the most damaging part of that agenda: the Sexual Revolution. As the campaign to sterilize and mutilate children intensifies—and states like California and Washington are preparing to use the pretext of “gender affirming care” to seize children from their parents—the campaign against this insanity swells as more people who are “liberal” or simply not crazy find themselves moving to the Right because of it.
As a result, you have people who, while horrified at the prospect of removing the flesh from the forearms of ten-year-olds to make genitalia out of it, have long accepted abortion, same-sex “marriage,” and other aspects of the Sexual Revolution as normal parts of their lives making allies with cultural conservatives.
