Karen Pence, LGBTQ discrimination and the Christian right’s embrace of victimhood
< < Go Back
Willfully ignorant about the harmful cultural messaging of her actions, Pence is the perfect symbol of “good,” Christian, white America.
Mother is heading back to school — haven’t you heard?
And it’s the latest in the fight for America’s soul.
Karen Pence, currently the second lady of the United States, is returning to Immanuel Christian School, a private K-8 elementary school that is a part of the Immanuel Bible Church, to teach art part-time to students.
Civil rights and LGBTQ activists, including most recently Lady Gaga, criticized the SLOTUS’s new position because the school explicitly “refuse[s] admission” to students who do not live according to the “biblical lifestyle” — which means no rough-and-tumble homosexual or bisexual activity. Likewise, the school discriminates against job applicants who do not “live a life of moral purity;” disqualifying conduct includes everything from “lesbian sexual activity” to transgender identity” to “heterosexual activity outside of marriage.”
