Pence’s Religious Freedom Policy Made ‘LGBQ’ Hoosiers Sick—Literally

By Sunnivie Brydum

…vioral Risk Factor Surveillance System does include a question that allows participants to identify as transgender or gender-nonconforming, but states are not required to include that question in their surveys. In the first quarter of 2015, over 24% of LGBQ Hoosiers reported that they had 14 or more “unhealthy days” each month. By the end of the year, that number had jumped to nearly 60%. Heterosexual people in Indiana did not report any significa…

Oprah, Terrorist Cells, and the Meaning of Life: An Interview with Paul Froese

By Andrew Aghapour

…he Meaning of Life Paul Froese Oxford University Press (January 6, 2016) I participate in this tradition. Every January, I hold my life out in front of me and think about which elements I want to swap out or in. This mode of thinking progresses towards the abstract. Concrete resolutions give way to the big goals: Happiness, Purpose, and Meaningful Relationships. Once a year, Oprah makes sense to me. This process confused me until I read Paul Froes…

Under Water: Waiting for the Flood (of Awareness) in Louisiana

By Drew Konow

…ting an opportunity to sit with the magnitude of our pain, to nurture that pain into empathy, and to transform that empathy into power and solidarity—putting our hearts and lives on the line to find creative ways to address systems that construct hierarchies of oppression, make pain invisible, and compound suffering. Once the water levels recede there will be mildew, endless piles of paperwork, jambalaya fundraisers, innumerable hours and countles…

Joyless Primaries Grind On

By Joanna Brooks

…al Christians continue to opt for Santorum as the not-Romney, there is little solid data that isolates anti-Mormonism as the cause: region, social conservatism, and economic class also drive the narrative. As the race moves past Super Tuesday, the real story is the grind that the 2012 race is becoming. Its dispiriting effects on voters. The distorting effects of Super PAC cash. And the fact that we’re in it for the long haul. Like it, or not….

Not All American Muslims Feel the Dread I Do

By Huma Mohibullah

…weapons acquired from the U.S., and her uncritical view of the Israeli occupation of Palestine (especially when compared to Bernie Sanders’) are a few examples. Some point to the moment in which she reacted to Libyan leader Qaddafi’s extremely gruesome death by giddily exclaiming, “We came, we saw, he died!” as exhibiting her troubling indifference to human suffering. Opponents of Clinton’s foreign policies are deeply critical of the Democratic pa…

The Banality of Bernie

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…micro-managed by men with photographic memories who could describe, on the phone at long distance, where a file was located, and what page in that file needed scanning. There was obsessive record-keeping, coupled with a mastery of spin. (Squillari suggests that Madoff planted several pieces of evidence in his office in order to be arrested on his own timetable and on his own terms). The most haunting line in the article is a description of the sta…

These Are the New Battlegrounds for LGBT Rights Under Trump

By Sunnivie Brydum

…often easier to access than high-ranking administration officials. So yes, participate in the Women’s March on Washington if you feel called to, and phone-bank the hell out of every preposterous nominee Trump and the Republicans riding his coattails offer. But also participate in Lobby Days organized by your favorite local advocacy group, and make it a priority to meet your elected officials. If you feel comfortable doing so, introduce them to you…

Religion at Decade’s End

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…cate, resulting in the equally unexpected elevation of John Paul II to the papacy, the first non-Italian pope to be so elevated since the middle of sixteenth century. John Paul II quickly established himself, again somewhat surprisingly, as a man of unusual charismatic and media talents, but also as a pope with some jarring and nearly reactionary theological attitudes. It is worth reflecting on the symbolic significance of the fact that all three…

Mother (Nature) Will Eat You: Lars von Trier’s Antichrist

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…rk Film Festival, along with about 700 other attendees. I wish I had their phone numbers; even the disgusted dozens who walked out halfway through. I’d like to call them at 3:00 a.m. and ask what they are thinking about, what they are dreaming, if indeed they are sleeping. I need some therapy. This is one messed-up film. The beauty of Antichrist is in distinct contrast to many of von Trier’s previous films. From the early 1990s until now, his film…

Global LGBT Recap: Culture War Claims More Victims

By Peter Montgomery

…of a law that criminalizes not only sexual activity but advocacy and even participation in social clubs. According to a report by the New York Times’ Adam Nossiter: Activists said the mob violence was a sign that the new law appeared to have given mobs license to act on widespread antigay sentiment in Nigeria. “The government has given a go-ahead authority to mob jungle justice,” said Mr. Orazulike of the International Center for Advocacy on the…
