YouTube Liberated This Woke Heroine
The American Conservative ^ | 11 June 2019 | Rod Dreher

CNN runs Pride Month essay by married mother of two (a former CNN reporter) who watches Saturday Night Live, decides to leave her husband and break her family up to live as a lesbian. No, really, this is a thing that happened:

But there I was, at 36 years old, realizing I didn’t know myself at all.

I had everything I thought made my life perfect. I was married to my best friend and we had two beautiful, healthy and hilarious children, with successful careers and a beautiful home.

My life would change forever after a simple Google search in November 2016. I had just seen Kate McKinnon perform the song “Hallelujah” on SNL and discovered that she’s a lesbian. That shocked me because she didn’t fit the awful stereotype often depicted in the media.

I quickly declared her my “new girl crush.” But it was more than that.

At that moment, I realized that I wanted a relationship with a woman like her — but I felt terrible for even having this thought, as someone who was faithfully married.

It was slowly becoming clear to me that I was not straight.

“I wanted.” So she made it happen. More:

I kept waiting for the moment where I would realize I was no longer gay so I could put a halt to everything. My family was being shattered and I couldn’t stop it. I constantly had to remind myself, “You get one life. This is your life and no one else’s.”

No, Melisa Raney, you’re wrong. When you married and had children, your life was no longer your own exclusively.

If she dumped her husband and kids for some guy who reminded her of a male celebrity, would the media be celebrating or only if the new guy was a ‘person of color’?

I saw that. Kate is very talented. Whether she’s a lesbian or not, I’m developing a thing for her sister performer, Cecily Strong.

“when I realized I’m gay”

bisexual at best, beyotch.

Too late to claim “100% gay”.

Ask a woman if a man who’s given another man a lewinsky could be considered a heterosexual.

focused on herself and wants a different sex partner

How queer. Her mother's tweet about never gonna stop loving her daughter seems a bit out of place considering her daughter stopped loving the father of her own kids because of sexual equipment, SNL, and a farcical “religious” ode.

>>Telling my family wasn’t the end of my journey. I was finally figuring out who I was. Now I was ashamed by that answer.
That began to subside when I met other women in various stages of the coming out process, all on the same path. Hearing the experience of others felt like hearing my own: married to wonderful men, mothers of amazing kids, the perfect life practically every woman strives for.

Through this group, led by a therapist, we quickly determined we are in this together. We were on a path that feels impossible to navigate until one day, you can live your truth and be perfectly fine shaping a new life.


Californication prohibits counseling homosexuals who want to transition to heterosexual relationships. No celebration of all sexual identities. Homofascism is like Islam, a one way door.

>>On New Year’s Day this year, I came out on social media. I expected to see my friend list tick down but instead I was met by love and support.

I’d have deleted her for a selfcentered affair/divorce.

>>On the flip side, it is getting better for younger generations. When I told my kids last year that if mom remarries, it will be to a woman — it didn’t faze them in the least.

Bet your kids were fazed when you told them you were getting a divorce and it was all because of YOU.

Sounds like Satan gave this woman a demon-message, and she fell for it!!!!

She should have realized what was going on, and told Satan to begone! Then the desire for a lesbian relationship would have soon disappeared, and she could go on with here happy life!!!!

The great thing was that the therapist supplied Saran Wrap, Rabbits, and lube for everybody! And the Twister was twisted, sister.

Oh I'm sure the kids will be fine. Close friends of ours just split up when the husband came out as gay after twenty some years of marriage. The two sons, both in their twenties, are absolutely devastated and not even speaking to him. And John Walker Lindh (Jihad John)? Didn't his father leave his mother for another man? But sure, your kids will be great!

These women must be extremely stupid.

Or as JackNicholson's character says in As Good As It Gets:

...I think of a man, then I remove reason and accountability.

Well, as long as she’s (TOTALLY) focused on her, I guess that’s what counts.....

Kate Millett founder of NOW was a radical dyke who wanted more homosexuals and was institutionalized against her will long after establishing NOW.

Inmates run the asylums.

Kare also advocated sex between adult women and minor girls.

Jim Jones was not an isolated Democrat Marxist ‘who lost his way’.

Next year if she sees a show on TV that causes her to think she is trans-gendered, can she go back to her first husband?
