• This chapter highlights the analysis of the variety of opinions among the Stormfront members. A central characteristic within the Stormfront data is the consternation that homosexuality is transmissible. The linguistic choices describing this view carry the inference of being a progressive process that is capable of multiplying. Writers allude to the prospect of people becoming homosexual, apparently under the influence of some external cause. While homosexuality is constructed by certain posters as a source of disorder, and as both wilful and malicious, this, according to certain Stormfront members, justifies intervention and social containment. Tom Metzger, a prominent white supremacist, who on his W. A. R. website describes homosexuality as: The desire to propagate ones owns kind is natural. The homosexual population is quite small and not the major threat to Aryan survival. The best that Aryan heterosexual society can do is to limit their collective influence and keep the closet door shut.
