Xtra Decries Lesbian Blogger Scam, Draws Wrong Conclusion

Gay rag Xtra applauds the effort that went into exposing those two white dudes masquerading as "Arab Spring" Lesbians but says "it won’t undo the harm that has been already been done."

Maybe not, but what about the harm done by this, the conclusion the Xtra scribbler distills from the episode:

Since the news broke that Arraf and Brooks do not exist, the Twitter world has been on fire. The tweet that made me smile was,“Because you know, white dudes just don’t get enough space in the media.”

 That's what the scribbler's take-away--that it's about guys trying to reaffirm the hegemony of white manhood?

Can't the unnamed scribbler see that it's actually the opposite of that: white males acknowledging that their time in the sun has passed and that the best--no, the only--way to demonstrate their lefty bona fides is to bow before the new hegemon, which is queer/transgendered/Lesbian/Muslim (preferably the kind that's anti-Zionism and pro-"Arab Spring") and always, always PC?

Update: The Xtra scribbler doesn't note the glaringly obvious--that  the situation on the ground concocted by the duper was so at odds with reality as to be unbelievable, but that that didn't prevent a lot of lefties from being duped. FrontPager Daniel Flynn writes:

The portrait Tom MacMaster [the fake Syrian Lesbian] painted of the Middle East was the picture Western liberals wanted to see. It was not a picture of the Middle East. For alienated Westerners decrying American imperialism and Israeli oppression, there is something discomfiting in the peoples you stand in solidarity with not standing in solidarity with your issues. MacMaster made neat this ideological messiness. He told Western liberals that Middle Eastern Muslims believed in gay rights, feminism, religious toleration, free speech, and so many other sentiments in which they profess adherence.

In other words, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid won't stop the sharia freaks from wanting to do you in, queers.

Sucks, doesn't it?
