   Headline: The Christian Right is coming for divorce next:

   OOH - Of course they are.

   OTOH - time to embrace the tenets of Adrienne Rich's anti-comp het classic essay (*Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence*) and reject marriage, period. (as well as childbearing and financial dependence on cishet men.)

     Everything about Christian fascists is about trapping someone in a situation they don't want.

     Their whole vibe is predatory, abusive, oppressive, and anti-liberatory.

     Don't wanna be pregnant -- for any reason? Too bad. We're forcing you to give birth.

     Don't want to be married to your jerk of a spouse? Too bad, suck it up, bucko. You married her - she's yours .... FOREVER.

     Don't want to live life as the wrong gender? LOL, jokes on you, there are only 2 genders and you already have one.

     Ugh. These people.

     The Christian Right is just full of effing horrible people who should never be allowed to have power over anyone. Period.

     I guess that's my #Juneteenth sermon of the day.

     With a special coda:
     [ahem]

     Juneteenth IS for, by, and about Black people.

     I've seen some posts here there everywhere giving it some bullshit Memorial Day vibe.

     Nope.
     It's a VERY SPECIFIC MOMENT with VERY SPECIFIC SIGNIFICANCE to a VERY SPECIFIC PEOPLE.

     Anyway, enjoy your day off.
