It’s evangelicals’ beliefs abo…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…became official), transgender soldiers, airmen, sailors, and Marines began coming out to their commands, and, in some instances, talking about their identity in the media. Those individuals, some of whom are retired, are still readily available for comment. In fact, at least two with whom I’ve worked in the past invited our draft-dodging president to sit down with them and talk about what it actually looks like to be a trans person serving in the…

Right Wing Catholic Non-Profit Treads the Line of Legality and Ethics

By Kate Childs Graham

…n woman, one clip felt particularly devastating. The folks at CatholicVote.com obviously forgot the Catechism’s call to “…[accept homosexuals] with respect, compassion, and sensitivity…” They leaped right over respect and went straight for dehumanization. They depicted two men at a wedding ceremony but cropped the photo to cut off their heads from the eyes up. But why crop the photo? Perhaps, CatholicVote.com thought that if they showed the eyes o…

As Laura Compton of mormonsformarriage.com relates, “Anybody who was part of the process knew exactly where they were getting their marching orders from.” Highly centralized and hierarchical LDS institutional structures, widespread experience with door-to-door proselytizing, disciplined messaging among former missionaries, and extensive social networks that facilitated viral messagi…

I fully expect them to open a Jesus deli downtown: ThatJewCooksForYou.com As one friend put it: “It’s got potential. Kosher style. Lamb-of-God chops. Wood-smoked bacon.” The upside there is that it’d pit PETA against JfJ in a tasteless deathmatch. …
