Headline: The Christian Right is coming for divorce next:
OOH - Of course they are.
OTOH - time to embrace the tenets of Adrienne Rich's anti-comp het classic essay (*Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence*) and reject marriage, period. (as well as childbearing and financial dependence on cishet men.)

Everything about Christian fascists is about trapping someone in a situation they don't want.
Their whole vibe is predatory, abusive, oppressive, and anti-liberatory.
Don't wanna be pregnant -- for any reason? Too bad. We're forcing you to give birth.
Don't want to be married to your jerk of a spouse? Too bad, suck it up, bucko. You married her - she's yours .... FOREVER.
Don't want to live life as the wrong gender? LOL, jokes on you, there are only 2 genders and you already have one.
Ugh. These people.
The Christian Right is just full of effing horrible people who should never be allowed to have power over anyone. Period.
@DeliaChristina This sort of mindset is so insidious, like it refuses to believe that even "making something optional" isn't really secretly "forcing people into camps".
I recall a few years back some company business-wear dress codes were working on making heels _optional_ for female employees. Cue conservatives swooping in, screeching that "THE FEMINAZIS ARE FORCING ALL WOMEN INTO BIRKENSTOCKS, AS A GATEWAY INTO LESBIANISM!!!"
They just view everything in terms of coercion.
