Lean forward, friends, because we gotta have a quick chat
Governor Braun of Indiana decided on June 1st that the best way he could use taxpayers' money was to issue this insecure proclamation
Besides the fact he's limping along in the shadowy wake of Trump and trying to be as bigoted as possible to issue this at the start of he's doing something else here, too
It's obvious that he's implying that q***r families don't fit the mold, that we aren't loving and capable of raising wonderful humans
News flash: we can, do, and have been
However, this proclamation is also ground-laying to eventually eliminate no-fault divorce as a way to further trap women in terrible marriages with terrible men who behave terribly
Which is why you hear me and other q***rs and other marginalized folks go on and on about solidarity
When society recognizes the rights of and fully appreciates the contributions of marginalized populations, society in general benefits
Women are catching strays in this effort to further institutionalize homophobia and transphobia
So, what can you do?
Keep showing up for us! Keep holding the line and fight harder! Channel the righteous rage of our q***r foremothers and forefathers and all our forerunners and protect us!
Show courage in compassion for those of us who are being targeted by the state!
Don't simply laugh this proclamation off as goofy s**t that these goofs do
Understand the implications and think forward as to what the consequences--intended or unintended--may be and make plans to show up and out with political and material support!
Looking out for us is in your own self-interest and, for what it's worth, that's honestly good enough for me for now
Happy Pride Month, fam, and then comes Happy Wrath!
