As Florida Attempts to Make it Illegal, an Argument for the Sacred Work of White Discomfort

By Robert P. Jones

…erge now? According to a study by The Brookings Institution, as of November 2021, 9 states had passed and 20 states had introduced bills that are being promoted as banning CRT. Part of the answer lies in the unique cultural moment we are inhabiting as a country. As I argued in my 2016 book, The End of White Christian America, the visceral nature of today’s white conservative politics is driven by its desperate need for new mechanisms for ensuring…

The Most Forgotten Queer Folks in the US are Fighting Back Against a Powerful — and Publicly Funded — Group That Discriminates With Impunity

By Chrissy Stroop

…nts, faculty, and staff while receiving federal funding. Unsurprisingly, in 2021, the CCCU explicitly opposed the Equality Act. REAP is working to hold the CCCU, its member institutions, and the U.S. Department of Education accountable for allowing vicious anti-LGBTQ discrimination to take place at schools that receive substantial federal funding. In so doing, it’s lifting up the voices of LGBTQ youth in difficult circumstances—youth that the Amer…

‘Landmark’ Speech From LDS Leader on LGBTQ Rights and Religious Freedom Was More Like a Sunnier Groundhog Day

By Aly Marino

…n line with the Church’s refusal to acknowledge that trans people exist, in 2021, the deadliest year on record for transgender people, the exclusion from the speech speaks volumes.) As in the UVA speech, in his 2015 speech Oaks criticized a “county clerk,” reported to have been Kim Davis, for refusing to grant gay marriage licenses based on her religious beliefs. And again, just like in the UVA speech, he stated that “both sides” should seek balan…

After Roe: 3 Troubling Trends from the ‘Compassionate’ Anti-Abortion Crowd

By Robert Repino

…ng implemented within our lifetimes. For example, in a commentary from late 2021 anticipating the fall of Roe, Erika Bachiochi, a fellow at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, suggested that somehow, some way, the pro-life movement can compel the Republican Party to bolster the social safety net. Since then, unfortunately, Rick Scott, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has put forward a Congressional agenda hellben…

Why Don’t White People Show Up For Juneteenth The Way They Showed Up For George Floyd?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…have come to call the ‘Juneteenth conundrum’ is who is greeted by whom? In 2021, while at a summer solstice festival that happened to coincide with Juneteenth I recall with sheer amusement as two well-meaning, culturally sensitive White women approached tepidly to ask if they could wish me and my companions (all Black) a “Happy Juneteenth.” Our collective response, “sure,” and to their surprise I uttered with a straight face, “Thank you. You too….

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

Exit polls are even more suspect this year than they usually are, but few pundits have been dissuaded from drawing conclusions and whipping out megaphones to share them. Yes, even RD has a mote in its eye on this account. Maybe even a beam. Regardless, two of RD’s staff writers recently engaged in a socially distant conversation to discuss the data we’ve gotten so far and what it tells us about the 2020 election. While numerous parties—many of wh…

6 Overlooked Takeaways From a Reviewer of Controversial Texas Textbooks

By David R. Brockman

In September 2014, I found myself standing before a mostly hostile Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) testifying about religious imbalance and inaccuracies in public school textbooks under consideration for adoption. To my great surprise, I also found myself quoted in Politico, the Washington Post, and several Texas newspapers. Al Jazeera America sought me out for an on-camera interview. For a religious studies scholar more at home in the clas…

Mormon Leaders Slam ‘Counterfeit’ Gay Families; Vatican Resists Gay Ambassador; ISIS Executes Man for Homosexuality; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

This week new US rules for federal contractors went into effect, forbidding workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. When the executive order was issued last year, conservatives complained that it lacked an exemption that conservative religious leaders had sought. Fox News’ Todd Starnes said the order “endangers religious liberty.” But, Christianity Today reported last July, “Many religious organizations, s…

The Theology Behind Alabama Official’s Demand to Flout SCOTUS

By Sarah Posner

AL.com reports that Win Johnson, the director of the legal staff of the Administrative Office of Courts in Alabama, which operates the state’s judiciary headed by Chief Justice Roy Moore, has written a letter to public officials calling upon them “to stand against the ravages of a superior authority that would go beyond its rightful power and force upon the people something evil.” He is referring, of course, to the United States Supreme Court’s d…

Broadcast Officials in China Censor Gay TV Characters

By Peter Montgomery

Samantha Power, US Ambassador to the United Nations, took 17 other UN ambassadors to see “Fun Home,” the Tony Award-winning play based on Alison Bechdel’s autobiographical novel about growing up as a lesbian with a closeted gay father. Power told Edith Lederer of Associated Press that the play dramatizes issues facing LGBT people “in a way that (U.N.) resolutions and statements never can.” At the UN Women’s Conference in Asia, OutRight regional p…
