Thoughts from the “Bad Hombre” Debate

By Candace E. West

…they will not. ‘I’ll look for . . . well, it’s called racial profiling. Mexicans. Syrians. People who can’t speak American,’ he said. ‘I’m going to go right up behind them. I’ll do everything legally. I want to see if they are accountable. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.’ Of course, you can’t do ANY of that legally, because it’s the very definition of voter intimidation, which is illegal. The Cod…

An Open Letter to Western Feminists

By Shabana Mir

…hy of international coverage because the Palestinian women had broken “the code of silence” by resorting to Israeli courts. The implications of this juxtaposition of two unrelated events are that Palestinians belong to a backward, patriarchal culture that, rightly or wrongly, is under attack by a modern, “democratic” state with a legal apparatus that supports women’s rights. Others have shown that the New York Times gave disproportionate attention…

The Gray Lady’s Regard: Ritual and the Wedding Pages

By Kathryn Lofton

…the overarching spirit of the pages is determinedly representative. Same-sex couples and mixed-race couples, old money couples and new money couples, couples who like tennis and couples who like cooking classes—everyone is there. The reader then becomes convinced by this welcoming attitude that you, too, could marry on Block Island; that you, too, could have parents who live in Bermuda; and that you, too could know that seafood display equipment c…

Biggest, Best & Worst LGBT Religion Stories of 2016 and more in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…st. The interplay of religious beliefs and attitudes was found to be complex, for example, in India: Centuries-old communities of transgender women — most commonly known as hijras — were criminalized under laws passed when India was a British colony, and today often make a living as beggars or sex workers. India’s Supreme Court ruled in 2014 that the government must enact broad reforms to correct this history, including outlawing discrimination on…

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

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…atred for years, and they’re picking up the pace. With acceptance of homosexuality and same-sex marriage steadily rising, the Right has pivoted away from LGB (lesbian, gay, and bisexual) people as a scapegoat for society’s ills and onto T, or trans people. In a cynical way, trans people provide an easier target for right-wing ideologues—because they’re a far smaller group and less well known, they’re easier to demonize. It’s a coordinated attack t…

Bonnaroo 3: With a Buzz in Our Ears

By E. David Morgen

…o much as a moist handshake, the chance to feel the pulse of motion being exchanged between the performers and the crowd, the energy of the music being returned bodily by the sounds and movement of the audience, may be one of the last things that can remind us what it means that all humans share a common bodily denominator. It is a network of physical reciprocity: each movement on the guitar string or the keyboard produces a wave of sound that tre…

Beck Botches Social Justice

By Daniel Schultz

…it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, the idea, hang on, am I advising people to leave their church… yes!… If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish.” And the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good responded. Beck needs to get out more. I don’t know about the Book of Mormon, but here are just a few of the Bible verses concerning the poor and believer’s…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

…not true, as poll after poll has demonstrated. If you look at this year’s exit polls, for example, you see that people who think abortion should be entirely or mostly legal voted Democratic, and those who don’t voted Republican. That’s a very durable pattern, and I’m not sure why people aren’t able to grasp that. I suspect, however, that it stems from a failure to reckon with the truth that voting largely appears to be a matter of identity, rather…

Why Belief in the Primacy of Language Leads to a Misunderstanding of Richard Dawkins, Islamophobia, and Politics

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…gate into giant dynamic forces, which then loop back and shape individual experiences. Except the currency of affect theory is emotion, which scholars have broken up into much smaller elements like background moods, facial reactions, impulses, and a whole bevy of subtle signals that pass between our brains, bodies, and other people. For much of Western intellectual history, emotions have been dismissed in favor of logic and rationality. If the pas…

The Revolution Will Not Be Fetishized: Taking Resistance Beyond the Spiritual Industrial Complex

By Andrea R. Jain

…dge with collective resistance even if it means putting those toned, spandex-clad bodies in between Trump’s administration and the most vulnerable populations—Muslims, Mexicans, blacks, queers, disabled people and women. To be activists against poverty and hunger, they would need to embody resistance through concrete action. They would need to support the efforts of groups like the anti-war Code Pink that resorts to reason, empirical evidence and…
