“Those Federer Moments”: Sports, Sex, and the Gender of Grace

By Franklin Strong

…mother, who lived in Atlanta, let me borrow her car to drive up to Athens, Georgia, where the soccer games were being held. I remember the electricity in the stadium for the women’s final, but I also remember knowing that very few people outside of the stadium cared. Not only was it soccer, it was women’s soccer. Even the 1999 World Cup, celebrated though it was, was treated as a victory for America’s girls. And it was: some of those ponytailed so…

A New Goal for Anti-Choice Activists: Targeting “Sex-Selective” Abortion

By Andy Kopsa

…y. There a bill to ban sex-selection abortion circulating in New York, and Georgia Right to Life is trying to gather support for similar legislation. Live Action even addresses the issue in a February blog post quoting a Canadian Medical Association Journal interim editor who called the abortion of “female babies” “discrimination against women in its most extreme form.” There is no real evidence given in the PRENDA hearing to support the GOP’s cla…

“Real” Evangelicals Don’t Support Trump? Not So Fast…

By Neil J. Young

…Trump’s primary victories in evangelical-heavy states like South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama, pushed that opposition into overdrive. And it’s also prompted evangelical leaders to mount a defense of their faith by tearing apart what they have called the “myth” of the evangelical Trump voter. It’s understandable why they have done so. Portrayed as hypocrites who’ve abandoned their “values voters” reputation for the luster of the Trump…

More Bleak Times For Indonesian LGBTs; South Africa Bans Extremist Anti-Gay US Pastor; Mexican Marriage Struggle Heats Up; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ssia’s weapons of choice to project its power into neighboring Ukraine and Georgia, Mr. Putin has also mobilized faith to expand the country’s reach and influence. A fervent foe of homosexuality and any attempt to put individual rights above those of family, community or nation, the Russian Orthodox Church helps project Russia as the natural ally of all those who pine for a more secure, illiberal world free from the tradition-crushing rush of glob…

New Report Mapping Christian Nationalism by State Suggests Election Need Not be Played Out on Christian Nationalist Terms

By Daniel Schultz

…Red states are just the opposite. And the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin? They’re all right around the national average. Those numbers are not destiny, however. Conservative Utah has low levels of agreement with Christian nationalism, at just 28%. Meanwhile its solidly Democratic neighbor New Mexico is a bit higher, at 32%. Still, the results are significant for understanding the political…

Religious Activism Behind Anti-Abortion Movement Outreach to Blacks

By Sarah Posner

…nd the religious right. The Times piece describes, among other things, the Georgia billboard campaign claiming that “black children are an endangered species,” but doesn’t address the data, dissected earlier in the week by Shani O. Hilton at The American Prospect, that black women have a disproportionately higher abortion rate because they have disproportionately lower access to reproductive health care. A key claim of the “black genocide” claim…

New Report: Angels & Aliens in Texas Schools

By Mark A. Chancey

…offer them. Texas is not alone in having such a statute; in recent years, Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Arizona have passed similar laws, and Bible bills are currently making their way through the Wyoming and Arkansas legislatures. While these laws typically urge teachers to avoid promoting or disparaging religious views they give them little guidance on how that might be accomplished. For example, although the Wyoming bill originally called…

These Are the New Battlegrounds for LGBT Rights Under Trump

By Sunnivie Brydum

…cording to LGBT media watchdog GLAAD’s “Trump Accountability Project,” the Georgia Republican scored a zero (out of 100) on the Human Rights Campaign’s Congressional Equality Scorecard, voted against repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and in favor of amending the Constitution to ban marriage equality. More relevant to this discussion and Price’s potential tenure as the nation’s chief healthcare official, though, is the fact that he has defended fa…

Hating Both the “Sin” and the “Sinner”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…can Vision, an ultra-fundamentalist “Christian Reconstructionist” group in Georgia, would say I’m right in that assessment, and anti-gay Christians should just give up the whole charade of “loving” gay people while hating their “sin,” and instead, hate both the sinner and their sin. The evangelical mantra has always been “hate the sin but love the sinner,” which is good pastoral advice to a large degree, but even this piece of folk-wisdom falls sh…

DeSantis is a No-Show, the Right’s ‘Secret Sauce,’ and Final Thoughts on Pray Vote Stand

By PRA Staff

…w-energy musical worship, Mike Griffin, a Public Affairs Official with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, addresses a diminished crowd for the final evening’s programming. Griffin compares FRC’s movement to the ‘sons of Issachar,’ a popular theme in New Apostolic Reformation circles, used to suggest that today’s culture warriors, as it says in 1 Chronicles 12:32, “understood the times and knew what to do.” Like many other speakers, Griffin lavishe…
