Will International Criminal Court Bring Charges Against ISIS For Gender-Based Persecution?; And More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…gal equality: The government continues to retain Section 377A of the Penal Code, which criminalizes sex between men. The law is sandwiched between codes that ban sex with corpses (Section 377) and sex with animals (Section 377B) in the Penal Code, indication of official attitudes towards homosexuality in the wealthy city-state. Convictions under 377A allow for two-year prison terms. In a bid to placate both liberals and conservatives, the governme…

Oedipus Complexity: Is it Enough to Fire Men Accused of Sexual Misconduct?

By Benjamin Dueholm

…st cases these were men whose professional and workplace actions are the cause, and whose prominence enabled their abuse. The companies that employ or collaborate with them are exposed to financial and reputational risks of their own if they don’t cut them loose. Still, these financial and professional repercussions are too shallow and removed from either satisfaction or restitution to constitute anything like justice. Most of the actions are beyo…

Contrary to Claims of Anti-Trans Muslims, LGBTQ+ Acceptance is Widespread in the History of Islam

By Ali Olomi

…l codes. Tunisia’s anti-sodomy laws are derived from the 1913 French Penal Code, while section 347 of the penal code in Christian Cameroon is a French colonial law. Similarly, the Ottoman adoption of French codes would ban the köçek. Across the Muslim world, many of the laws criminalizing LGBTQ+ people are direct relics of colonial law. It would take generations to gradually align the region with European colonial sexual values through a shift in…

Despite Reversal on Hillary and Hellen Keller, ‘Christian Americanist’ Bias Remains in Texas Curriculum

By David R. Brockman

…elated rubric already includes the Jewish Ten Commandments and Justinian’s Code of Laws as influences on contemporary political systems, the work groups removed the assertion of “Judeo-Christian” origins for democracy. However, the board rejected the change. The board rejected a similar change involving another Christian Americanist tenet, the claim that trial by jury, the presumption of innocence, and equality before the law “originated from the…

With Kurdish Genocide a Real Danger, How Ethical Was Mattis’ Resignation?

By Ivan Strenski

…s “the noblest Roman of them all.” Of course, a resignation like Mattis’ caused something of a stir. But, at this writing, has it caused enough of a stir to make a Kurdish genocide unlikely? The historical precedents do not inspire confidence. A high-five from Putin at the G20, and the horror of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder starts slipping away. What chance for the Kurds, when Trump writes off Syria as “sand and death”? One recalls how, before his inv…

Texas Woman Opposes Divorce Citing ‘Blood Covenant’; Will Anti-Sharia Law Get in the Way?

By Elizabeth Reiner Platt

…exas’s H.B. 45 (codified at § 22.0041 and § 22.022 of the Texas Government Code), states that “litigants in actions under the Family Code involving a marriage relationship… are protected against violations of constitutional rights and public policy in the application of foreign law.” The bill doesn’t explicitly reference sharia or Islamic law (likely because a similar bill in Oklahoma that did specifically mention sharia was struck down as discrim…

As Catholic Bishops Punish Dissent, Rosemary Radford Ruether’s Life and Legacy Show the Way Forward

By Lauren Barbato

…anon 1398) is a fairly recent revision, only dating back to the 1983 Canon Code reforms, when both the Vatican and the U.S. hierarchy were presented with growing political and social challenges to their opposition to reproductive rights. I can’t help but think it’s some sort of tragic irony that Rosemary Radford Ruether, a founding mother of feminist theology, passed away on May 21 at age 85, just a day after Cordileone’s announcement. Ruether liv…

What My Christian High School Taught Me About Being a Black Girl

By Carlyn Ferrari

…aught never to question and to respect the authority of white men. And because they were telling me how to be good, it made them appear infallible. So I was silent because I knew nobody would listen if I spoke up. I was good. * I was in high school long before the Obama administration issued strict guidelines on Title IX cases reminding schools of their obligation to protect students. To be honest, I doubt these guidelines would have made a differ…

Men Without Guns: A Tribute to Larry McMurtry

By Amy Laura Hall

…notes for this scene in the film read simply: A COWBOY passes the alley. Pauses, looks at ENNIS. ENNIS glares at him. ENNIS (growls) What the fuck you lookin’ at? The COWBOY moves on. McMurtry typed these words about the story: “I was the more stunned when I read ‘Brokeback Mountain’ because I realized that it was a story that had been sitting there all my life, fifty-five years of which have been lived in the American West. There the story was, a…

UPDATED: Oklahoma Personhood Bill Not Dead…

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…d-down and unflinching personhood bill yet: the bill would amend the legal code to treat fetuses as persons at all stages of biological development. So what happened? Well, there was opposition, of course. People got nervous about the things that generally make a lot of people nervous about giving legal rights to fertilized eggs. What about in vitro fertilization? What about ectopic pregnancies? What about the liability of medical providers? The b…
