No Longer At Sea: Kate Bornstein Talks Scientology

…of puritanical fucking America. There is a presumption that a parent can’t talk freely with a child about sex—or playfully, or frankly. I want to break that mold. I know it will be hard for them to read. In particular, I really struggled with how to present the sado-masochism, but I think I made it playful enough for them to deal with. Also, when I wrote my last book, Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks and Other Outla…

Ask the Dust: Unbelievers, Bunker-Dwellers, Anti-Natalists

…rtain any new ideas that don’t come from the group or group leader I can’t talk to my parents (I mean more than I couldn’t talk to them before) I’ve developed new coping mechanisms to get through things in the group that make me uncomfortable a la Kimmy Schmidt’s “You can stand anything for 10 seconds. Then you just start on a new 10 seconds.” I’m considering participating in a group marriage (marriage to Jon Hamm exempted, of course) The thousand…

The Mormon Version of Infallibility

…lly got them to stop going to church, was Packer’s October 2010 Conference talk about how homosexuality is not an “inborn tendency”—changed in the reprint of the talk to “temptation”—but an “impure and unnatural” choice that can be overcome, because God would never curse someone with homosexuality?) The honesty, humility and integrity demonstrated by Elder Deiter F. Uchtdorf when he admits “there have been times when members or leaders in the Chur…

Coming Out on a Christian Campus, Then and Now

…reotypes. I remember the professor split up the boys and girls one week to talk about sex. I can’t recall the lecture to the guys, but I do remember the girls all telling us in the cafeteria after class that the professor assured them that oral sex was okay in the context of marriage.) One bracingly honest essay (indeed the one most likely to have prompted offense) details struggles both sexual and spiritual. Yes, it describes an act of oral sex….

A Dismayed Democrat Reads the Bible

…g what this collection of documents is about. In much of your writing, you talk about something called “the domination system” in which the rich rule over the poor. How do you see that working in our society? The pre-modern domination system was ruled over by the top one to two percent of the population. We’ll call these people the ‘elites of power and wealth’—and they would include the monarchy, the aristocracy, and their extended families. Ordin…

Parkland Activists Don’t Care What You Think And They’re Not Interested in the Faith Wars

…inly not exemplars in any religious sense. You only have to listen to them talk to hear that they’re not interested in being inspirational. They’re interested in change. They seldom, if ever, talk about the morality of gun control. What they do say, a lot, is that they intend to use their power against politicians who don’t do what they want. The people in office have failed us and if they continue to fail us, then they will no longer be in office…

Ex-Gay Conversion Therapy: Choosing Religion Over Sex

…y when revisiting this topic: what ex-gay ministries talk about (and don’t talk about) when they talk about change. What counts as change in the ex-gay context is broad and often looks quite different from what cultural outsiders might expect. The NPR story left out the fact that Wyler was married and had children at the time of his conversion therapy; not living as a single gay man in L.A. making a rational decision between gay life and religious…

The Queerness of Christian Ethics: A Conversation with Rev. Elizabeth Edman

…before. I’ll use your own book as a point of reference again, Candace. You talk about developing a bulletproof faith—which has everything to do with spiritual survival. Yet one of the ways you talk about surviving is in understanding your own value. Then when someone comes at you, show them the dignity and respect they ought to be showing you. One could say we’re “forced into” living this way as a matter of survival, but the truth is we’ve gotten…

The Revolujah! Will Be Performed: Reverend Billy’s Reality Joke

…-playing necessary? Should we wish that we could get back on some Straight Talk Express? KL: Of course, Straight Talk itself is a pretense, which leads us to this maddening cycle of revelation that Oz is, indeed, just a man behind the curtain. What is most promising in Billy and Savitri’s work is how they actually cycle through the very facts of performance to find new authenticity. I think this is best exemplified in their discussion of Elvis Pre…
