Looking through their tenets of gospel, it seems like they aren’t really about lesbians as commonly understood, either (women being attracted to women,) so much as lesbian feminism, which seems to be more about rejecting heterosexuality as a misogynist structure.
I honestly wonder how many of those women are genuine lesbians as opposed to misandrists with internalized heterophobia.
I’m not going to go into the misandry/heterophobia subject; however, there’s a reason why it’s called political lesbianism. The group is explicitly defined as using lesbianism as a means to escape heterosexuality, which to them is a structure built to reinforce misogyny. They consider themselves “lesbian by choice,” and at some of the more extreme ends reject sexuality altogether.
Unfortunately, I need to find more sources on how this movement manifests in the modern era, as most of the readings I’ve found limit themselves to the perspective of the '70’s.
So… about that religious freedom stuff that’s been going on lately. Y’know how I said it was more a license to discriminate than anything? Well, how do we define this springing up in the wake of the religious liberty movement?
(NOTE: Despite the headline, this article is mostly about TERFs, Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists. Lesbians themselves aren’t really a focal point.)
Well, they have the same right to form a church as any other group.
That’s not the problem. The problem is that this is most likely TERFs just piggybacking off the religious liberty bills (bills that I disliked to begin with) as a means of justifying transphobic discrimination.
