Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 140 Queer Theory is the doctrine of a sex-based cult that has very little to do with gay people and lots of interest in our children. We really need to understand that. Based on remarks James Lindsay delivered at the University of Pittsburgh in February 2024, in this episode of the New Discourses podcast, he makes even more clear why Queer Theory defines a cult and how it works as such, particularly to initiate our kids.

0:00.0	The Hey everybody it's James Lindsay you're listening to the new discourses podcast and it's
0:23.9	time to talk some more about queer theory I want to make the case and I suppose there's
0:29.0	a bit a billion ways I could do this I want to make the case that queer theory is the
0:32.1	doctrine of a sex-based cult. That's it. In other words, to put it more frankly or more clearly, I suppose, queer theory, which pretends to be in academic discipline, is the doctrine of a religious
0:47.9	cult that primarily targets children and that is based on sex and topics related to sex and that
0:56.4	sex meant in both meanings of the word both the biological fact and the
1:01.8	activity which is related to the biological fact and the activity which is related to the biological fact
1:04.8	incidentally and it has very little to do with gay identity so those are the main points of contention. Some of you will recognize if you're
1:15.9	readers as well that what I'm going to do in this episode is actually summarize or mostly run through and ad lib off of a essay that I published on new
1:28.4	discourses in February after I gave this as a talk in Pittsburgh at the University of Pittsburgh, which is the one where people dressed as clowns came to protest me.
1:39.0	And if you remember that image on the website, you know what I'm talking about it was an

1:56.6	into the talk about the time I had given like the basic introduction and some serious facts.
2:03.0	She started crying, got up and left,
2:05.1	and called her mom so loudly that you could hear her kind of blub her
2:09.6	into the phone,
2:10.9	hey mom, as she walked out and no further incidents were recorded. But the way I
2:17.8	started off was as strongly as possible by saying exactly what I just said. I'm here
2:21.9	to talk about queer theory and its major points
