Communicating trauma through art is fine, as long as you don’t remind the Christian fundies that their beliefs and practices are a prime source of religious trauma for lots of people.
She’s a legit artist now. You love to see it.
I thought that the US was a pro free speech country.
The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part:
- I get to do what I want.
- You have to do what I say.
In the Religious Conservative’s mind, free speech means they get to say whatever they want about whomever they want (I get to do what I want). At the same time, free speech limitations suddenly apply when you have anything critical to say about their religion (you have to do what I say).
This is true to all religions!! why just Christianity?!
I didn’t say only Christianity. I said Christian Fundamentalism is a part of Conservatism.
And ‘Conservatism’ isn’t solely a Christian thing or Christian Fundamentalism thing too… something isn’t synchronizing with your analysis, but I get the general point (Free speech for me but not for thé)
I didn’t say that either. I think you need to reread what I wrote; it syncs just fine, and I think you’re having trouble parsing it. Conservatism is the umbrella. Christian Fundamentalism falls under that umbrella, as do other things. That’s why in my original comment I said:
The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part…
Added emphasis to clarify that I was very specific with the words I chose: “A part,” not the whole of my point. Later on, I mentioned Religious Conservatives, which would cover every religious person who is also a Conservative, including but not limited to Christian Fundamentalists.
But yes, you get my general point.
Ok, that’s a good explanation idk why it didn’t sync with me the first time… perhaps I’m bit distracted… my bad :(
I’m really glad to see other sites and news orgs picking this up. Here is the piece:
lesbian artwork
So what, like girls kissing?
Looks at art
OH SHE SPICY. Absolutely love it.
Sorry about the rant it’s not aimed at you specifically but at society. I hate that all of lesbian art is so often assumed to be romantic or images of women going at it. Like that’s part of it, but it’s also poetry and music and a lot of self portraits in a variety of media and comics like Alison Bechdel’s Dykes to Watch Out For.
Our community has built a lot of its art in the pursuit of identity and self. And a lot of it involves trying to avoid our eroticism being consumed by the men who fetishize our love.
Lesbian art is this teenager pouring her pain onto a canvas. It is as high a form of lesbian art as I’ve had the privilege to see.
