I had heard of the movement for mandatory marriage , set forth by the likes of Debbie Maken , from my one maternal cousin , who has clashed with it . But now , going beyond even the rank hostility of Matt Walsh , for instance , Niger has officially criminalized , not only being homosexual , but even being asexual . What repercussions might this have ? Will masturbation be penalized ? Will marriage , and marital relations be mandated ? Especially as a single asexual individual , I want to know . This seems to be like something out of "The Handmaid's Tale" , by Margaret Atwood. A part of the resurgent revival of neo-fascism , and religious fundamentalist reaction around the world is repression of expression of lifestyles that are thought to run counter to the traditional family . Not only by acting outside of it , by having same-sex romance , but even by abstaining from heterosexual relations . It seems to me that it's not the queer community that is trying to push our way of being upon impressionable children , but rather the straight social conservative traditionalists who are trying to forcibly impose their ways upon the larger society . I feel that community standards mustn't infringe upon personal autonomy . So long as what we decide to do , or not do , doesn't violate the harm principle , we should be free to be as we see fit . The reactionary right , on the contrary , seeks to press us into the narrow mold of its rigid regimen of standard normality , and as such is the enemy of liberty , and diversity .
