— Let’s be clear: Being #gay is a perfectly #normal part of the human experience. Being a #Republican and/or #religious, however, is #dangerous, #harmful to #society, #abnormal, and utterly #immoral.

These practices hurt #society by promoting #unfoundedbeliefs, #discouraging #criticalthinking, and is used to #justify #harming others. Religion fosters reliance on #dogma over #reason, hinders #societalprogress, and #serves as #levers for the #exercise of #power and #control over #followers #lives

“However, there's a real value to "weird," right now, too, because it strips our nation's supremacists of their normalcy, not because of who they are, but because of what they do...

What makes #weird so useful for the moment is that by framing supremacists as the #abnormal ones, it triggers the exact behavior from them that is so fucking weird... in ways that even complacent and unaware people can grasp.”

Text from article: However, there's a real value to "weird," right now, too, because it strips our nation's supremacists of their normalcy, not because of who they are, but because of what they do. That is to say, demanding to be known as The Normal Ones specifically for their exclusion and bigotry, and to threaten punishment and abuse to any who refuse to comply with the strictures upon identity they define, or to recognize their license to grant permission. What makes "weird" so useful for the moment is that by framing supremacists as the abnormal ones, it triggers the exact behavior from them that is so fucking weird, reinforcing the framing, creating differentiators between those who celebrate weirdness and those who would eradicate weirdness, in ways that even complacent and unaware people can grasp.

"Disciplinary #normalisation consists first of all in positing a model, an optimal model that is constructed in terms of a certain result, and the operation of disciplinary normalization consists in trying to get people, movements, and actions to conform to this model, the normal being precisely that which can conform to this norm, and the abnormal that which is incapable of conforming to the norm.
In other words, it is not the normal and the abnormal that is fundamental and primary in disciplinary normalisation, it is the norm.
That is, there is an originally prescriptive character of the norm and the determination and the identification of the #normal and the #abnormal becomes possible in relation to this posited norm."
