I have read your statements and have posted an reply. I would like to post the text in this thread as well, for others:
"Sure, sizing power during a general chaos and absense of state power on a particular area ("interregnum") is a possibility to create a new (gay) state. Such an action would require military and police infrastructure to enforce new order and provide personal and proprietary safety for the inhabitants. Means, heavy weapons have to be stored and a standing army be entertained, waiting for the D-day. Such preparations for a war of aggression (which it clearly would be) are punishable by the criminal codes of most countries and could be performed only on an operation base located in an area with no functioning law enforcement. The effective strategy would be to emigrate into the instable area and secure the initial base by a couple of Kalashnikoffs. Then buy even more Kalashnikoffs and let even more people emigrate, and so on, untill you have enough manpower and money to buy dozens of Leopards, and a couple of Su-27. Such a strategy may succeed, if you have strongly motivated supporters who give little value upon their own lives in comparison with the idea. E.g., Israelis successfully took advantage of an "interregnum" in Palestine, or Talibans successfully defeated Soviets with financial help of the US government and then ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. There ARE actually some states in the condition of desintegration at the present timepoint: Somalia and Iraque are WAITING for a new rule or could serve as donor of territory. The question is, whether such a way appears desireable to the gay people?
The alternative is an evolutionary approach: land aquisition under existing law, by and by creation of own (gay) civil administration, and secession to an appropriate timepoint, if possible without blood shed. An area distant from the mother country would be highly suitable, as colonies mostly cost money and are tiresome to oppress for a long period of time. This way offers real improvements to real people during their life-times, though, of course, the success cannot be guaranteed from the initial time point as well.
In both conceptions, an international (better term: interstatal) organization of gay people is crucial for the succes of the enterprise. An isolated independent gay village-state with 2000 citizens will for sure serve best these 2000 lucky guys, but be pretty useless and meaningless for the gay population at large. The increasing cultural progress and within the entire community is one of our primary goals. This can only be achieved by an effective and fruitful cooperation within the gay diaspora - if we learn to understand us a true people. The gay state, as I see it, would be an important part of the movement and a place of refuge, piligrimage and study - but the most gays will live "abroad" and must be involved into the network as well."
