Bruce LaBruce on zombie porn and conservative gays

Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce spoke to The Varsity about his upcoming film LA Zombie and gay assimilation. A snippet from that piece:

The Varsity: I tend to associate the gay community with liberal politics. Could you explain “arch-conservative”?

Bruce LaBruce: Well, for me, when a movement starts to become fixated on becoming accepted by the two most conservative institutions in America — marriage and the military — you can pretty much safely say it’s become a conservative movement. It’s not only that they want equal rights: they are ideologically becoming conservative in terms of promoting monogamy and becoming complicit with the ideals of a militarized society.

Conservatism, and all its social evils: classism, poverty and discrimination, seems to be creeping into the gay community more and more. When people get too much money, the usually don't give a damn about those less fortunate. That is the core of conservatism - bugger you jack, I'm okay. Sad, sad, sad.
