By Christopher Douglas

…lism. Conservative white Christians, in other words, had had one foot in a parallel information ecosystem for a long time. This ecosystem held fast until the 1960s because the nation generally accommodated their beliefs. That changed in the 1960s when Supreme Court decisions struck down the legally-sanctioned practices of public school prayer, school Bible reading, and prohibitions against teaching evolution in many Southern states.

How a Stars and Stripes Hijab on ‘Rupaul’s Drag Race’ Reveals America’s Troubling Relationship to Gender, Ethnicity and ‘That’ Religion

By Megan Goodwin and Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst

…e Muslims must be religious—immediately racializing and pigeon-holing literal billions of people? Why would you assume you already know everything you need to know about Islam? Oh, right. Because you’re American, and America is that girl. We knew she was. Cox, to her credit, ignored the bigotry and argued for complexity: “I’m not [religious],” she told Goldblum. “I have my own misgivings about how LGBT people are treated in the Middle East, and at…

Naked Mormon Women Go Viral, Talk Back

By Holly Welker

…son in geography!” Much of the response has been positive. A recent editorial by Salt Lake City art historian Alexandra Karl in the Salt Lake Tribune called Anderson’s work “truly groundbreaking” in the way it “diverges from her [LDS] contemporaries and predecessors, by specifically targeting LDS ‘modesty culture.’” (As if to illustrate Karl’s point about Utah’s collective squeamishness about nudity, the Tribune did not provide a link to Anderson’…

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…Daughters featured, once again, parents who really want to protect their children, and children who sometimes bristle under parental protection.

In last night’s episode, Taylor Coleman’s parents have her renew her sexual purity pledge, which they interpret to involve no kissing before marriage. Olivia Perry’s parents watch her infant daught…

By Joanna Brooks

…ability to persecution from and misunderstanding by outsiders, the historical value assigned to secrecy when Mormon lifeways were under threat and from the US government in the nineteenth century, the ceremonial value of secrecy in LDS temple settings, and strong LDS regard for institutional hierarchy. The questions and feelings stirred up by David Twede’s impending Church court are profound beyond partisan politics. This certainly isn’t about Mit…

By Darnell Moore

…workers are also trying to help uncover the stories of everyday life—material realities, real-time experiences of discrimination, the role of institutions in the lives of LGBTQI people—that are often invisible. For example, Milene Larsson, writer and host of the recent Young and Gay in Putin’s Russia documentary, was recently interviewed on CNN’s Global Public Square Blog. Larsson reporting on the state of young LGBTQI people in Russia stated the…
