Rachel Lu, writing in The Federalist, predicts that The LGBT Movement Will Self-Destruct. Signs that this might be the case: It keeps pushing the boundaries to the point of making itself ridiculous; it has to silence and persecute its critics; it hasn’t shown that it can create a positive culture that can stand the test of time.
Read her article, linked after the jump. Then read the rebuttal, also in The Federalist, by Jennifer Roback Morse, The LGBT Movement Will Not Self-Destruct. She sees the transgender movement as a culmination of the Sexual Revolution with a totalitarian ideology. (Samples from both articles after the jump.)

From Rachel Lu, The LGBT Movement Will Self-Destruct, The Federalist:
Bad ideas do die, eventually. At their peak this can be hard to believe. Whether it’s Malthusian population controls, global temperature freak-outs, low-fat diets, or disco, it often seems that idiocy seems unassailable until suddenly it isn’t. A page turns, and the emperor has no clothes, as his folly becomes a cautionary tale for future generations.

From Jennifer Roback Morse, The LGBT Movement Will Not Self-Destruct, The Federalist:
These three points sum up the ideology of the sexual revolutionaries. They believe a good and decent society should: Separate sex from procreation, separate both sex and procreation from marriage, and obliterate all differences between men and women, except those individuals explicitly choose. Do you recognize our society?. . .
All the branches of our government, the media, academia, big business, and entertainment are committed to the fantasy ideology of the Sexual Revolution. It takes a lot of force to do the impossible. It takes a lot of propaganda to make people believe the impossible. That is why the Sexual Revolution is a totalitarian movement, standing all on its own, quite apart from the usual categories of Left and Right.
That’s not a bug, as they say. It is a feature. Many of the most militant activists are drunk on their own power. Look at the “trans-activists” getting the city of New York to place onerous fines on people for using the wrong pronoun. Look at the college students, getting professors fired for insufficient conformity to the ever-changing standards of “sensitivity.” Look at the gay activists suing small Christian businesses, as if there were a constitutional right to get your picture taken by the photographer of your choice. These militants are intoxicated with power.
