Catholic Church Bans Gay Film: This Week’s Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…overnment of Hungary vetoed the European Parliament’s efforts to approve a list of actions of advance LGBTI equality that had been developed by the European Commission. In December 2015, the Commission published a list of specific targeted actions aiming at combating LGBTI discrimination in the EU in 2016-19, following up on the demand by the European Parliament to establish a ‘Roadmap against Homophobia’, the so-called Lunacek-report. The Commiss…

“Frontier Feminist” The Right’s Favorite In Nevada

By Sarah Posner

…roduced celebrity Scientologists Kelly Preston and Jenna Elfman to Sen. John Ensign (a paragon of godly virtue!) to encourage him to sponsor legislation that would prohibit public schools from requiring students to take psychiatric drugs. The SBA List took credit for unseating West Virginia Democrat Allen Mollohan, and plans to spend $6 million this election cycle to promote the candidacies of anti-choice candidates. It had endorsed Angle’s oppone…

Is Sarah Palin The New Leader Of The Christian Right?

By Sarah Posner

…. Anthony List, which claims to be the religious right’s answer to Emily’s List, the political group that raises money for and supports pro-choice candidates. The Susan B. Anthony List — despite, as Ann Gordon and Lynn Sherr recently demonstrated, no evidence that Anthony was anti-choice and real evidence she eschewed religion in politics — supports anti-choice candidates. Marjorie Dannenfelser, the group’s president, when asked about balancing ca…

Conservative Catholic Elites Oppose Trump… as He Rides Catholic Vote to Victory in Michigan

By Patricia Miller

…?) And who were similarly silent when the party tried to capitalize on the coded racism of the anti-Obama forces in 2012 or upend the Affordable Care Act, even though the Catholic Church has been advocating for universal health care since Model Ts were on the road. And it’s even funnier that those who helped put Bush and Cheney in office and watched as they led the nation into endless, unwinnable wars, and justified torture to prevent an ever-pres…

McCain’s VP Courts Conservative Evangelicals

By Kathryn Joyce

…er judged a vehicle for courting the religious right in psalmic and hymnic code, Palin is delivering a very clear message to religion-savvy listeners, who hear in her call for “servant’s hearts” the message of twenty years’ worth of “complementarian” sermons, exhorting Christians to be “servant-leaders” and, among women, to view their highest calling in service to male leadership: willing helpmeets to their husbands’, fathers’ and pastors’ authori…

Why Bill Maher Gets a “C” in My Introduction to Religion Class…

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…pears to have no real interest in humanity. To have that would necessitate listening and at least the pretense toward understanding. Maher and Charles could have landed a bigger punch, but rather than talk with people, they chose to deride, interrupt, or simply ignore what people actually said. (Let me be clear, almost none of the individuals he interviewed would rate more than a “C” in my fantasy class either.) The filmmakers furthermore missed t…

Is Army’s New “Humanist” Designation Just Semantic Hooey?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…traditions of naming. But the addition of the Humanist designation to the list of approved faith codes has concrete implications as well. It gives Humanist service members access to Army Chaplaincy services, including spiritual counseling and gathering spaces for Humanist groups. It also means that the numbers and distribution of Humanists in the military can be tracked along with those of other religious groups, potentially inviting a reshaping…

Inventing “Jihad”

By Asma Afsaruddin

…non-Muslims in order to expand Muslim realms while observing humanitarian codes of conduct against civilians is more or less accepted as a given, even by many specialists of Islam. The proof-texts invoked in support of such a position are medieval Islamic legal texts, which frequently did list such a requirement as part of the duties of the Muslim ruler and established furthermore an elaborate code of conduct for initiating war. And this is where…

Gun Owners of America Celebrates Defeat of Gun Control Amendments

By Sarah Posner

…istered handguns since the ‘30s, I wonder what they want that registration list for. I think most of the rest of the world has experienced what they want it for. It’s a grab list when the government decides that the subjects are getting a little uppity. A rifle is the emblem of a free man. So what does that make the guy that had his rifle taken away from him? A victim of a coup d’etat. If he was a ruler and he had his gun taken away—we’re the rule…

Wichita, the Sequel: A Clinic Reopens at Ground Zero in America’s Fight over Abortion

By Kathryn Joyce

…forthcoming probes about whether or not the clinic can be cited for minor code violations. With an air of boredom, Newman ran through the list of tactics he’d turn to if he couldn’t prevent the clinic from opening. They’ll run their “Truth Truck”—a large vehicle with side panels covered with images of late-term aborted fetuses—and plant 200 crosses outside the clinic every day. They’ll limit the number of clients willing to enter by making women…
