Divide and conquer was a war strategy used by Julius Caesar. The Gulls were worthy adversaries but Caesar was able to overcome them by stirring up conflict between the Gallic tribes and getting the tribes to fight amongst themselves. The once fierce warriors became easy prey and were ultimately defeated.
In some ways, the GLBT community is similar to the Gallic tribes. With so much internal turmoil, its plight becomes undermined and the community becomes causalities of its own division. Case in point – Thomas Beatie, also known as “The Pregnant Man.”
