- Marxists have an approach to the questions of human sexuality that differs from the libertarians, social democrats, and others. They see it not as a question of legalistics, but as a question of society. Marxists have a duty to point out that gay liberation is impossible in present-day society, where the heterosexual role-model is so necessary to the maintainance [sic] of capitalism, the oppression of women, the private ownership of children.
