The US Can Be Religiously Oppressive, Too

I debated putting this post up. After all, I don’t really know Catalina, we’ve only become friendly recently online. But then I read an article about the insanely silly oppression going on in Saudi Arabia in the name of morality, and I realized that we like to think, “Oh those poor middle easterners, that would never happen here.” But religious nuts (and just nuts of the general variety) will try to impose their system of morality on people in every country. A “christian” educator is trying to prevent Catalina’s daughter from continuing on at the school where she used to work because of what Catalina gets up to (things like sex work, sex blogs, blah blah blah, if it’s sex these nuts don’t like it). It’s bad enough that someone can’t focus their energies on sexuality without losing their job, but for their child to lose out on an education at the school where she’s been going is just wrong. I’m going to send a little off to help and here’s the scoop for those of you who would like to know more. I also decided to put it up because Catalina has gone through the trouble of setting up a raffle - so it’s not just asking for money, it’s a charity raffle and you KNOW you’ve given money to enough of those - why not one for one in our community?
