solarbirdThe Texas Observer has a good article on Christian Nationalism and the fundamentalist evangelical systems for passing on far-right – particularly anti-LGBT – political activism to their children and grandchildren. I wrote a while ago about their recognition that they’d have to do this, that they’d have to make anti-LGBT hate core to their religion, as opposed to an accessory belief; this is the sort of thing that comes out of that kind of decision.
The Washington Post found it in their pointy little heads to call a group of Catholic anti-gay activists “philanthropists” for spending millions of dollars to find, track, and remove gay priests. Hopping Christ on a hairy pogo stick people, what the goddamn fuck is this?
Lauren Boebert simultaneously attacks sex education – making sure to take several gratuitous slams at queers along the way – before talking about how her 17 year old son is making her a 36 year old grandmother. She holds this up as an example of superior rural conservative morality. I don’t think I can add to that.
NPR On Point’s Meghna Chakrabati did a fine and dandy job of amplifying anti-trans disinformation during the recent so-called whistleblower incident in St. Louis. There’s a great deal of New York Times/British media eliding of information to support the claims which proceeded to fall apart, and Evan documents it all.
Lesbian author Sara Ahmed talks with PinkNews about how the fights for women’s rights and for trans rights are in fact the same fight. “I know that if you try to exclude trans people from feminism, you end up excluding so much feminism too. You are left with a feminism that doesn’t interrogate its own terms, and that uses terms like sex or nature or natal in the same way as the patriarchs do – to justify the restriction of the very freedoms we have been fighting for.”
