Woman Discovers Herself as a Lesbian, Leaves Her Loving Husband and Children

This is, of course, being portrayed as a wonderful, brave act on the voyage of self-discovery by CNN.

Now, ask yourself: Would the media be praising a man who decided that he, like this woman, was dissatisfied in his marriage and left his kind wife and needful children to pursue more fulfilling sexual prospects?

No, of course not. A straight man would be attacked in the press for leaving an intact, loving marriage for a woman, whereas women are considered flighty creatures with a child-like level of moral comprehension (yay, infantilizing feminism!), and of course gays are straight-up Holy Creatures, Fabulous Angels fashioned directly by God's hand, who mere human beings are required to endlessly praise.

Psst: A lot of men are dissatisfied in their marriages, CNN. If they see a hot chick on SNL, will you praise them too for abandoning their families?

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.

But, woman. But, gay.

Different rules.

Are women adults with responsibilities and the expectation of honor or are they children who are free to pursue each whim because they don't know any better and can't be expected to know any better?

They cannot be either or both, depending on what the current leftwing sexual propaganda needs them to be.

Today's Feminism-Forward Woman

She can be anything she wants to be -- including an irresponsible tweener girl, when she feels the pangs of young romance moving through her.
