The Perry v. Bachmann Primary at Liberty Unversity

By Sarah Posner

…Pages about whether his clinic used the discredited practice. If I were a betting person, I’d bet this doesn’t have much impact on his wife’s campaign. While LGBT rights advocates and allies are right to be outraged, I doubt it would bring any new opposition to Bachmann, who is already well-known for her anti-gay views and voting record. And her supporters would likely not only support the use of ex-gay therapy, but view her husband as beleaguere…

What the Conservative Christian “Fake-Trans Bathroom Creeper” Has To Do With Suburban Anxiety

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…rries about bathroom invaders, when arguably they were the ones trying to exert influence on a space that wasn’t exactly theirs. The language and behavior of other conservative activists is likewise instructive. Pastor Jeremy Flanagan describes Fayetteville’s increasingly liberal politics as a sort of invasion from within. He faults liberals for forcing too many rules upon businesses, even as he’s blaming them for not regulating bathrooms. “Sure,”…

Why “Family Values” Defined Conservative Christianity (and Why “Religious Liberty” Has Replaced it)

By Eric C. Miller

…peeches to thousands. Texas public school watchdog Norma Gabler became a fixture at the annual textbook adoption hearings in Austin, claiming moral authority as a mother to revise curricula according to conservative beliefs. Stories of these and other women fill the book, suggesting that family values made the personal political for conservative women. They understood feminism as a misrepresentation of their hopes and values, and they rallied agai…

Civility Only Works When Everybody Stays In The Same Room

By Daniel Schultz

…rvative evangelical movement by selling out the covenant from within. I’ll bet he’s more sad than angry, too. The kicker is one of the examples the Christian Post cites as an unacceptable sandal-wearing hippie no-goodnik: Lillian Daniel, senior minister of a First Congregational Church which is pro-gay. . . . When a reporter can’t even bother to track down the city your congregation serves, much less attack its denominational affiliation, both of…

Another “Hot Text” For the War on Women: Rosemary’s Baby

By Mary Valle

…think the point was to take those prejudices and mock them by introducing extreme examples: wealthy Jewish doctors who are up to no good with Catholic girls. I’m not sure if it works in the film. Satire can be difficult to pull off, especially when most people are not in on the joke. Lapsed Catholic girls who move to New York from Omaha get what they deserve, I suppose. She and Terry Gionnoffrio, the Castevets’ first (failed) victim, are both expl…

Don’t Blame Black Voters: The Obama Non-Effect

By Jonathan L. Walton

…more acceptable among African Americans. Well, I don’t consider myself an expert on black people, but I would bet a little red Corvette that the transparent doors that hang on the closets of many of our most beloved family members, celebrities, and preachers matter less than some may think. Let’s be honest! Nobody ever expected to open Ebony and read about Luther Vandross’ marriage to a woman; yet how many African-American houses did Luther’s unmi…

US Offers Help For Investigation of Bangladesh Killings

By Peter Montgomery

…lientele of practicing haredi men, whom he is convinced are closeted homosexuals. “I bet they have a wife and 10 kids waiting at home,” he says. “But the fact that they come here—it’s interesting, that they feel comfortable here.” A short time later, a swarthy bearded man wearing a beanie and a long black beard walks into the bar. (Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.) Al Bel rises to shout, “The rabbi is here!” The man, who asks not to be nam…

Michael Vick Walks on Water: Updated

By Nicole Greenfield

…in rise above to heal his family, his community, his legacy.” The ten-part BET documentary, executive-produced by Vick himself, relates the star’s infamous story through a series of testimonies, events (including a heartfelt speech Vick gave as part of his involvement with the Humane Society’s End Dogfighting campaign), and interviews with family and acquaintances. A contrived attempt at redeeming himself in the public eye, The Michael Vick Projec…

Vaccine Mandates are Constitutional; Religious Exemptions are Unnecessary and Harmful

By Andrew L. Seidel

…tian Nationalism, have so many receipts. They’re not alone. Today’s anti-vaxxers, be they religious or political, are accustomed (and inured) to the benefits of modern medicine. They want life to get back to normal but fail to realize that that normal was achieved with mandatory vaccination and no religious exemptions. If we’re to be free of the pandemic that’s killed 710,000 of our friends, brothers, sisters, and parents—more Americans than all o…

Fatwa Allowing Women to Hit Their Husbands is Useless

By Fatemeh Fakhraie

…h a woman whose imam told her to keep quiet as she suffered domestic and sexual abuse to a mufti in the Emirates who told a woman whose alcoholic husband was sexually and physically abusing her to get him to “find help” rather than divorce him, it seems that those in positions of knowledge just aren’t aware of the issues and dangers surrounding domestic violence. Until imams and scholars can understand the damaging effects of domestic violence and…
