Neighbors Put Kibosh on Obscene Lesbian Campground
“This video is a news report about a couple of lesbians who wanted to open a campground called ‘Camp Lickalotta.’ Now that outraged neighbors are putting the kibosh on their obscene plans, they’re playing the victim card, always a favorite for homosexual activists. What if someone had wanted to start a campground for unmarried heterosexuals and called it ‘Camp Screwalott?’ Or if someone wanted to start a campground for bestiality called ‘Camp Horsealott?’ Or if someone wanted to start a campground for adulterers called ‘Camp Cheatalott?’ I dare say neighbors would have had a problem with that, too. Why? Because it is flaunting sexual immorality, and as neighbors, they are automatically associated with it. Should we expect unnatural lesbian sexual activities to be any different? If they had just kept quiet about their purpose, most people probably wouldn’t have had any serious objections. But that’s not really what the homosexual agenda is about. It’s about bringing sexual perversion out in the open, glorifying it, and forcing everyone else to accept it. If homosexual activists can’t do that, it’s not nearly as exciting, not nearly as much fun, not nearly as prideful. I’m thinking that despite decades of erosion of moral values in America, there may still be enough sense of normality and what’s right that homosexuals, with this stuff and stuff like the transsexual bathrooms, are on the verge of overplaying their hand.” — Dakota Voice (US)
It’s like a boxing match. In one corner is Camp Lickalotta, a GLBT-friendly campground that Nancy Leedy and Joanie Beasley are attempting to open in North Carolina. They describe themselves as “unabashed environmentalists, Christians and lesbians.” They may also be natural-born marketers, since the “campy” name they chose for their camp has been inflaming the debate. In one interview, they state their hope to “Lickalotta prejudice. Lickalotta pollutants. Lickalotta pessimism.” You can’t argue with those goals.
In the other corner is a horde of scandalized conservatives. For example, there is the Dakota Voice, a paper from Rapid City, South Dakota. It purports to examine “local, state, national and world issues of interest to conservatives and Christians.” A header on its web site declares that the Dakota Voice offers “news and commentary without the liberal bias.” As you can glean from its stance on a lesbian campground, its way of refraining from liberal bias is to remove the liberal and retain the bias.
What’s so awful about a gay campground? Are neighbors afraid their local government will be overrun by some weird Queer Eye for the Town Hall? The Dakota Voice imagines the horror of camps dedicated to other sexual orientations. Heterosexual Camp Screwalott — well, isn’t that what most camps are anyway? Bestial Camp Horsealott — gosh, city-slickers tend to think that’s what half of rural America is anyway. You don’t see many horse-fucking incidents here in New York. Camp Cheatalott — not so different than Camp Screwalott, is it?
Here’s a novel idea. How about Camp Mind-Your-Own-Fucking-Business-alott? What happens on private property is private. Isn’t that a core tenet of the conservative worldview?
Never underestimate the power of pandering to pinheads. Most right wing rhetoric is simply a way of placating the fundie base.
That said, the name was a bit much don’t you think? I mean, waving a red flag like that was guaranteed to get lots of neo-fascists attention, which I assume was the real purpose of calling it that. Strikes me that the paper is right about one thing, if they had called it Camp Happy it would have opened with no problems.
Don’t confuse conservative with libertarian. Conservative means “we’ll let you tell everybody else what to do as long as we get to steal all we want and go to Europe where you can’t see us to have our fun” ala the Bush babes. They automatically accept the right of the government to legislate morality “for the good of commerce”.
Livertarians are a bit more honest, ala “we don’t care what you do as long as you don’t interefere with what we do”.
If real dykes looked like porn dykes I’d let them get away with anything.
If perverts didn’t exist, the religious right would have had to invent them. Actually, come to think of it, it pretty much did. But then anything becomes more enjoyable if you know that it annoys hysterical Christian fundamentalists, so really they’re doing everyone a favour.
