Her book is more than just a parade of perversities; it shows how today's queer politics fails in light of the standard found in the theory and practice of America's founding.
For Pullmann, queer politics is the leading edge of "Regime change," a move from one way of life to a new one.
The new queer constitution elevates human sexuality as the primary human preoccupation, remaking family life and public virtue in light of sexual obsession.
Every aspect of the queer constitution stigmatizes and destroys the old sexual constitution and aims to build a new ethic.
Pullmann, with the help of Thomas G. West's excellent book on the American founding, shows how our founding principles are in flat contradiction to our queer constitution.
Every promoter of our queer constitution attacked the founders; their market economy; their laws against obscenity or fornication or polygamy; their promotion of monogamous, man-woman, enduring marriage; and their objective of uniting sex, procreation, marriage, and parenthood.
Americans enjoying unprecedented luxury are more likely to accept, as John Adams wrote worryingly to Jefferson in 1819, "Effeminacy, intoxication, extravagance, vice, and folly." Ours is a queer world, as Pullmann shows.
