Reasonably Gay: Collection: 2013-2014

In an era when “gay” and “conservative” were treated as a contradiction in terms, one man refused to choose sides.

Reasonably Gay collects the sharpest political and cultural essays Chad Felix Greene wrote between 2013 and 2014 — the pivotal years when same-sex marriage became law, “bake the cake” battles erupted, gender ideology began its rise, and the LGBT movement demanded total ideological conformity.

From inside the community, Greene delivers a rare dissenting voice: logical, unapologetic, and grounded in classical conservative principles. He argues that gay rights had already largely succeeded (“Gay Rights: An Unnecessary Battle”), dismantles the coercion hiding behind calls for “tolerance,” questions the redefinition of marriage, defends religious liberty, explores early trans issues (“Infinite Gender”), champions pro-life ethics, and explains why conservatism may be the most rational choice a gay person can make.

Originally published on American Thinker and his own platform, these pieces reject victimhood narratives and identity politics in favor of personal responsibility, intellectual honesty, and reasoned disagreement. Now updated and reissued as the 4th edition (2026), Reasonably Gay stands as both a time capsule of a turbulent decade and a timeless defense of independent thought.

Whether you’re conservative, liberal, gay, straight, or simply tired of tribal shouting matches, this collection offers something increasingly rare: a gay conservative perspective that refuses to let identity dictate politics.
