A Proposal for Homosexual Emancipation
Author Argues for Gay Rights in New Book
GREENSBURG, Pa. ˆ Author Pat Glaros argues that it‚s time for gay Americans to stop asking for rights and start making their own decisions in her new book, We Don‚t Need Permission: A Proposal for Homosexual Emancipation (published by AuthorHouse).
Using the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and prominent Supreme Court cases as a guide, Glaros makes a case for homosexuals in America to take their lives into their own hands by seceding from the union. „This government and its citizens cannot have it both ways,‰ she says. „Either we are part of this society deserving the same tax breaks as heterosexual couples and our participation in the military is as respected, or we are not. If not, then we must separate from this union and t ake our tax base with us.‰
Through this proposal, Glaros hopes to raise awareness about gay rights, facilitate dialogue on the topic and set the stage for a long overdue revolution. „Our brothers and sisters at Stonewall stood up united and stopped the constant harassment by police officers,‰ she writes. „We need to learn from that example and honor their heroic stand by taking our life condition to the next level: freedom from being a political election bargaining chip.‰
She argues that heterosexuals already treat homosexuals as outsiders. Therefore, this community has the right to break away. „Since we are not treated as equal members of this society, we have every right to form our own union and take our tax base with us. We can decide which foreign and domestic policies to support. Many scientists out there could use our dollars to search for an AIDS cure, for example. What do you say; are we adult enough or do we need religiously controlled government permission?‰ she says.
Glaros has worked as a freelance reporter and photographer for 15 years. She holds a bachelor‚s degree in journalism and communications media. Inspired by the presence of racism in America, she began her quest to change the world at a young age. Since coming out, she has been an advocate for the gay community. We Don‚t Need Permission is her first book.
