History is replete with examples of people embracing their identity as victims, seizing power, and then using that power to reshape society.

It hasn't ended well.
--The French did it in the late 1700s. There was a Reign of Terror.
---The Russians did it in the early 1900s. We had a Great Purge.
--The Chinese did it in the middle 1900s, and their Great Leap Forward was over a huge pile of dead bodies.

The only exception to this trend is the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Instead of going to war with the people who disagreed with them, MLK sought to encourage brotherhood. In short, the Civil Rights Movement didn't fall prey to the excesses of these others because they weren't intent on punishing those who disagreed with them.

Which path will the gay rights movement take? I can't be sure, but if rhetoric is any indication, they seem quite ready to dust off the guillotines. Maybe we can also get some Hate Speech laws to punish anti-revolutionary activities? Bring back the House Un-American Activities Committee? Perhaps we can send all the enemies of equality to internment camps?

Am I speaking in hyperbole? Of course. I don't expect that the gay rights movement will seek to literally cut anyone's head off. But I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that they will try to force everyone who disagrees with them out of the public square. It is the "price of citizenship" after all. I do think it's possible that religious liberty will be defined down to the point that it doesn't confer any additional rights. I do think it's possible that thousands of Christians will eventually end up in jail because the gay rights proponents wanted someone to punish, or they weren't willing to tolerate people who are on the "wrong side of history."

It's happened before.

If you're a gay rights supporter, you need to think seriously about what you're willing to do to win. If you don't think about how far you're willing to go, you're in serious danger of becoming much worse than the oppressors you fight.
