…ctor. He cites the recent advent of gay marriage in Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico City. And in the last two years, Ecuadorean authorities closed down 15 “clinics” that supposedly cured homosexuality, their patients often admitted by their families against their will.

…tions and racial-ethnic backgrounds working together for justice at the US-Mexico border, where so many people are dying each week.

By Joanna Brooks

…Latino Mormons, and the Church has enjoyed tremendous missionary growth in Mexico, Central, and South America. Over the years, some American Indian and Latin American indigenous Mormons have actively claimed a “Lamanite” identity and positioned themselves as the direct heirs of the Book of Mormon.

Schools Should Compete for Cash, Obama Says

By Peter Laarman

…mmigration problem stems from its devastating and crippling effects inside Mexico. The only distinct winners have been the bi-national corporate elites and the US investor class. Yet the same well-placed and well-paid neo-liberal types who gave us the NAFTA and other skanky trade deals have the nerve to keep saying, “Trust us. We know better than you. This will be good for you.” Very much what Mr. Obama has been saying about his RTTT program. Ethi…

It “promote[s] Judeo-Christian values” but wants Christian supremacy, which the Institute wraps in “religious freedom” claims that average Americans understand as equality.

…ch was robbed from him by the oil spill. There is an elegy for the Gulf of Mexico, whose plants and animals will never understand what hit them.

And then, finally, there is an elegy for Kruse’s death itself, in which there are at least three distinct aspects worth mourning: 1) the fact that he di…
