However, Her Case Is One Of Thousand Cases Of Child Marriage. According To Statistics, Children 16 And

When Sherry Johnson was eleven, she found one day that she’s gonna marry a 20-year-old member of her church who had raped her. She became pregnant and in order to avoid investigation and criminal case, her family and church officials decided to make the girl a legal wife of this monster.

“My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like a wife?’” Johnson remembers today, many years later. “She said, ‘Well, I guess you’re just going to get married.’”

However, her case is one of thousand cases of child marriage. According to statistics, children 16 and under are still being married in Florida at a rate of one every few days.

Johnson and her family also attended a conservative Pentecostal church and that other girls of a similar age periodically also married. One girl said when she was 10 she was raped by both a minister and a parishioner and later gave birth to a daughter. There were all documents confirming her and her child’s age, but still, the judge approved the marriage to end the rape investigation, telling her, “What we want is for you to get married.”

And nevertheless, America prefers to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, like in Syria, calling it “defending freedom” rather than to change states’ laws and to protect American children from rape, coercion and molestation.

Today, Johnson is campaigning for a state law to stop underage marriage that has already become a norm in some states.

Please, help me to raise awareness to this issue. No one can remain indifferent to the problem of child molestation.

Anyway shoutout to flamboyant or effeminate gay men, butch lesbians, scruffy lesbians, loud "obnoxious" queer musical theatre people, """uwu soft bean""" nonbinary people, people who use obscure labels, people who don't use labels at all, and people who use unusual pronouns. You're not cringe, you're not "fake queer", you're not a punchline to be laughed at, and you're not giving the LGBTQ+ community a bad name. Keep being your true authentic selves, we're all lucky you're here.

infuriating how white women approach feminism when it comes to woc..the way they act like all women are a homogenous group and they will all be liberated in the exact same way…like im begging to understand that so much of white feminism is influenced by a white worldview

Anyone can help!

(Real pen the last picture)

It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.

In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.
