Bruce LaBruce on zombie porn and conservative gays

Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce spoke to The Varsity about his upcoming film LA Zombie and gay assimilation. A snippet from that piece:

The Varsity: I tend to associate the gay community with liberal politics. Could you explain “arch-conservative”?

Bruce LaBruce: Well, for me, when a movement starts to become fixated on
becoming accepted by the two most conservative institutions in
America — marriage and the military — you can pretty much safely say it’s
become a conservative movement. It’s not only that they want equal
rights: they are ideologically becoming conservative in terms of
promoting monogamy and becoming complicit with the ideals of a

militarized society.
