 Who is Gomer? By all accounts, she was an asset Zinunem, that is one who acts like a harlot. Ordered to marry Hosea so Adonai can make a point. Does that bother you that God would slut-shame a woman to make his point? Well it bothered me, so let's flip the story. Who is Gomer? A strong, powerful woman. To act like a harlot was one who had agency over her body, one who was not controlled by the patriarchy and made systems of male dominance come crawling back in their knees. So this is how I read the story of Gomer. That when we break out from systems of white patriarchal heterosexist supremacy, we begin to see the freedom we have to not accept oppression, but to stand in freedom.
