the Queer QuiverFull

A few minutes ago I was waxing romantic about the future. I was thinking about all of our friends and their children, and I made a broad claim that there is a revolution within the coming generation. My argument was that there are so many more queer, multi-racial, non-nuclear families and these families are changing our culture in really exciting ways.

Rhonda interrupted my utopian fantasy by saying: "Except that the super-conservative Christians are reproducing at four time the rate. You know, the whole QuiverFull thing..."

Oh, right. How could I forget? That's kind of their whole point -- to ensure the future.

This put a momentary pause on my optimism. My response? There needs to be a Queer QuiverFull movement, ASAP.

If their Quivers are full of 10% gay children they are unwittingly and unwillingly contributing to what they fear most. Poetic justice!
