Istanbul ‘Haven of Sorts’ For LGBT Syrians and Iraqis; Cayman Islands Affirm Marriage Ban with ‘Holy Bible Evidence’; No Room for LGBTs in Malaysia’s ‘Islam-Based’ Human Rights Policy; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ing gay marriage to him In an interview with Mercedes Lopez San Miguel for Argentina’s Pagina 12, Bolivian President Evo Morales talks about meeting Pope Francis and worries that the Pope could be poisoned by right-wing forces for his statements on poverty, the environment, and capitalism. Morales said his mother taught him to be Catholic but that he had been let down by church authorities’ alliance with the right and discrimination against those…

Gay Mormons Tie the Knot

By Johnny Townsend

…worker. Gary’s nephews and nieces have served missions in Ireland, Italy, Argentina, Ethiopia, and Thailand. You can’t just leave Mormonism behind when you have that kind of connection. I’m a writer and find that most of my stories still deal with Mormons. (My book, The Abominable Gayman, about a gay Mormon missionary in Italy, was named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best of 2011, and my latest, Marginal Mormons, just received a starred review from Kirkus.)…

What the Fight over Allah says about the Future of Evangelical Christianity

By Richard Flory

…en ruined in the name of theological purity. Professor Hawkins is just the latest casualty. But things are changing within evangelicalism. Evangelical schools are facing decreasing enrollments and a declining pool of religiously acceptable students. Other evangelical institutions (such as megachurches) appear to be carrying on as usual, but they are showing signs of stress. Memberships have plateaued over the last several years, and some megachurc…

Does the Right Even Know Why it’s so Threatened by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…shadow of death to secure a wifi connection long enough to learn what this latest outrage is about. Swift has hit songs like “Anti-Hero” and “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic,” but apparently she sings and dances stiffly (I mean swiftly) and she has a fantastic PR team that carefully crafts her political views so she simultaneously has no vocal opinions or has some opinions on things, or “a penchant for liberal politics,” and/or may or may not be a feminist…

What We Need to Understand is that Fascism is Intersectional and Erotic—’Thy Rod is Thy Gun,’ With a Hip-Thrust

By Annika Brockschmidt

…gravitational pull of American fascism. I describe this in the book as the latest American contribution to fascism ( I say “the latest” because, as, scholars have noted, Hitler was borrowing from the United States when it came to racial purity laws). I do think that this is a White supremacist movement, but like our friend Anthea Butler says, it works through the promise of Whiteness. And the latest American contribution to fascism is that it abso…

Synod or Sin Oddly: Vatican Encourages Catholics to ‘Walk Together’ as Long as the Hierarchy Leads the Way and Decides the Route

By Mary E. Hunt

…ive minutes on the agenda of their November 2021 meeting to discuss what’s promoted as the most life-changing process for the Catholic community worldwide since Vatican II. There is a deep disconnect here between rhetoric and reality. Many bishops, especially the most conservative, are simply ignoring or, it is rumored, dissing the whole thing, perhaps considering it more of Francis’ folly. Others are mounting middling efforts. Still others are gi…

This is No Ordinary Anti-Blackness — The Racist History of the Pet-Eating Conspiracy

By Kyrah Malika Daniels and Dianne M. Stewart

…mythologies. Even without ever mentioning the words “Black” and “Haitian,” code words such as “immigrants,” “criminals,” and “illegal aliens” are indirect signifiers of Blacks, Haitians, Africans, and other targeted non-White groups. Such racecraft speaks to a peculiar devotion to America’s most treasured civil religion—Whiteness. It’s little more than a twenty-first-century performance of America’s long legacy of Black voter suppression that redu…

Tinkering with Creation: Intelligent Design 2.0

By Lauri Lebo

…t roots, says McLeroy’s position has evolved in keeping with creationists’ latest strategy. His is merely relying on what Forrest calls the “code words.” But their long-term goals remain the same: To get God into science class. The full statement in the Texas standards reads: “The student is expected to analyze, review, and critique scientific explanations, including hypotheses and theories, as to their strengths and weaknesses using scientific ev…

“Freedom” vs. “Liberty”: Why Religious Conservatives Have Begun to Favor One Over the Other

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…ts of religious liberty mostly concern the latter. To be sure, many of the latest religious freedom bills are called just that—religious freedom bills. That’s partly due to the 1993 federal law they’re modeled after: the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. But liberty is showing up more and more in courthouses and legislatures across the country, and it’s the word favored by supporters of the First Amendment Defense Act. RD spoke with a number of l…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…This moved swiftly into the revision of Paragraph 175 of the German Penal Code in 1935, which “would amount to a death sentence for gay men,” according to historian Andrea Carlo. The banning of books on the LGBTQIA+ experience and the closing of libraries; the legislation and platforms against transgender healthcare and LGBTQIA+ rights; these all draw from that playbook. All of these components–physical assaults, book banning, and legislation–are…
