| Anti-LGBTQ activist Katy Faust wants to eliminate our legal right to marry. |
Just in case you need a reminder, long-time anti-LGBTQ activist Katy Faust and her band of bullshitters want to take away our right to marry.
While they've formed a new group for this goal, the Greater Than Campaign, they are still using the same tired talking points which initially caused them to lose the fight i.e. that gay couples are taking away the "rights of a child to have a mother and father." And they are pushing these talking points very aggressively, particularly on social media.
They deliberately ignore the fact that LGBTQ people have been raising children before Obergefell legalized gay marriage and that studies show that children raised by gay couples actually thrive as much as children raised by heterosexual couples. They are also trying to create a narrative that surrogacy is a way for gay male couples to "buy" children to be used as accessories or sexual partners (yes, they go there). In doing so, they seek to dehumanize gay fathers as well as erase our families brought together by foster care and adoption.
What can we do?
Stay visible and vocal. Don't be ashamed of our families and don't let anyone scare or disrespect us. Faust and her minions may have money, talking points, and some social media ecosystems on their side, but they don't have the most important qualities in this battle.
Truth and love.
Faust's attempt to disrupt our families have nothing to do with either of these qualities. It's simply naked and unapologetic homophobia. Disrupting our marriages and our families is a smokescreen generated by ignorance, prejudice and a very ugly strain of Christian Nationalism. If Faust and her group cared about families, they would tackle issues which are actual problems for families such poverty, job insecurity, and healthcare.
My words below are very apt for this moment - Bring it on, bitches. The concepts of "marriage" and "family" do not belong to you. You don't get to call it "your ball that you're going to take away."
You didn't learn anything from your last spanking on this issue, so I guess a repeat is definitely in order.
Bring it on, bitches. https://t.co/46B5BsJFNI
