YouTube Liberated This Woke Heroine

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.

So much for that constitutional “Right to Privacy”, protecting the discussions between a woman and her doctor.

“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.”

Very good point that bares repeating.

What if she dumped her Hubby because she decided she wanted a guy with a bigger Penis after she watched some Porn?

Would her Mother still be supportive?

“I saw that. Kate is very talented.”

Me too, she is. Her Hillary might be the most brilliant piece of mimicry ever done. People who hate Hillary love it, and people who love Hillary love it. Or so I assume, since it’s on TV.

Yeah she's nuts. If I were he, I would try to keep the kids away from her.

"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."

Sheee-it, lady, they in it for the daily drama, and you ain't disappointing...

"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."

Well, now you know this woman is nuts -- she doesn't remember as a teen, shit-grinning while her parents would show their ass from tame shit like 3 Chi-Chi's jumbo margaritas.

Not from mom's 'girlfriend on the side' showing up at odd hours to take mom to a club.

Kids will lie to your ass 24/7 and this bent old cow is too stupid to know it...

I can sort of understand her lover giving her a weekend pass to go to Disneyworldland with the father of her kids.

I don’t really get his new girlfriend/wife giving him the same weekend pass.
