Romney Prepping for Evangelical Dance

By Sarah Posner

…est attacks we’ll see. Judging from what is simmering over at Glenn Beck’s site and elsewhere, we’ll see the resurrection of Jeremiah Wright, Obama-as-Manchurian-Muslim, and more. The question is, in choosing a running mate, whether Romney will pick someone who will feed the fever swamp, or just the “respectable” redoubts of the religion wars, such as charging Obama with waging a war on religion with insurance coverage for contraception. Either wa…

We’re Not Just “Heterosexual with Issues”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…to gender equality (which is kind of odd for a conservative Christian web site to promote), reduce household conflict and improve the well-being of children “through greater paternal investment.” Reading through the study, it hit me: I think one of the main reasons the religious right wants to deny gays and lesbians marriage equality is because marriage is actually good for couples. Imagine it, if full marriage rights are granted, then gay and le…

Hacking the Vatican

By Joseph Laycock

…run by the Catholic Church. A statement on the group’s Italian-language website declared, “Anonymous decided today to besiege your site in response to the doctrine, to the liturgies, to the absurd and anachronistic concepts that your for-profit organization spreads around the world.” The statement alluded to the burning of heretics, the repression of Galileo, the genocide of Native Americans, aiding Nazi fugitives, and the more recent sexual abuse…

All Your Dead Mormons Are Belong To Us

By Jay Michaelson

…s Are Now Gay. It’s a simple game: enter the name of a dead Mormon, or the site will choose one for you, and with the click of a mouse, the deceased LDS member is instantly converted to homosexuality. Of course, this makes no sense, and is somewhat offensive. But then, so are the views of some (though not all) Mormons that the dead can be posthumously baptized – or at least given the offer of baptism (which, since they now can evaluate their optio…

God’s Body, God’s Plan: The Komen Furor and Abortion as Black/Latino “Genocide”

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…unwanted pregnancies are exhorted to just believe that God has a plan. The site claims that, “If you are a Bible-believing Christian yet you don’t believe that God can and will take care of you and your baby, His gift to you, then you are calling him a liar.” Bulging numbers of African American foster care and homeless youth are apparently the result of the unwillingness of apostate black women to cling blindly to faith in God’s plan. In Californi…

Komen, Planned Parenthood, and Conspiracy Theories

By Sarah Posner

…ness and prevention with a diocesan-wide ‘Run’ or ‘Walk for Prevention.’ A number of cancer-related educational and advocacy organizations donate money to Planned Parenthood, or otherwise support abortion or immoral embryonic stem cell research. So it’s best to support organizations that do not.” As with Republican efforts to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood’s family planning services, the right’s crusade against the Komen Foundati…

Birth of Hipster Hasidism?

By Nicole Greenfield

…-Lubavitch headquarters, and, according to one Hasidic landlord, a growing number of “yuppies [who] bring pritzus [immodesty] to our neighborhood.” In the anonymous open letter posted on the Jewish community site COLlive (and first reported by the New York Daily News), the landlord expresses concern over the introduction of “a very different way of life: new nightclubs and bars, sun tanning on rooftops, bike lanes” and presses others to “reinforce…

Occupy in Exile: Sacred Space is Everywhere

By Donna Schaper

…red so sacred by some that they found the possibility of a mosque near the site as desacralizing. The blend, not the division, of sacred and profane spaces really matters to justice and its hopes. If the spirit of Occupy Wall Street and its home at “Liberty Square” is to survive and have impact, we occupiers need a larger understanding of what sacred space is and what it isn’t. Sacred space can be anywhere, any time. Lots of people want to turn th…

Is Change Possible? Shifting the Ex-Gay Question

By Lynne Gerber

…letter at the time it was sent (reproductions of the letter on numerous websites, including Throckmorton’s, do not include his signature, while the letter currently on the Exodus site does). In March 2010, a year after the initial conference, the organization issued a formal public statement opposing the criminalization of homosexuality in Uganda. In contrast to the open letter, this statement was signed by over 50 people in the Exodus network, in…

Gay Chutzpah: An LGBT Synagogue Thrives

By Susan Henking

…ole of CBST given the rise of the internet and their active and engaged website, their role in Pride in New York City, and their very visibility. I regret I can’t answer. I have no information about the impact of that tool of communication and public visibility. Not having studied the impact of CBST’s impressive website, I assume it must have expanded the potential of membership recruitment. In the earlier days it was by the chance of knowing some…
