By Peter Montgomery

…nfluenced by gays who have gone to the national parks and behaved badly,” Mutua said. Mutua was also in the news for blocking the broadcast on the Disney Channel of the Andi Mack series because the new season contains a story line involving same-sex attraction, content “likely to influence children’s perception negatively on the institution of family.” He previously acted to block musician Macklemore’s “Same Love” from broadcast in Kenya.

Sacred Geography: A Queer Latino Theological Response to Orlando

By Xiomara Verenice Cervantes-Gómez

…of color. But when reports refer to an attack on a “gay nightclub,” the truth about the violence that happens to queer and trans people of color is avoided. When thinking about the theological significance of these spaces for queer people, to not talk about racial experience is to fold black and brown bodies into a history we have been consistently been excluded from. And more than that, these are our ceremonial centers. These are our places of w…

Why Notre Dame’s Contraception Flip-Flop Undercuts Bishops’ Religious Freedom Claims

By Patricia Miller

…ng the university to officially state that it’s not providing contraceptives. Notre Dame and other Catholic organizations were herded into this pointless culture-war battle by the Catholic bishops and were largely powerless to avoid it given the weight the bishops put on the issue. But much like conservative objections to the ACA, the battle against the contraceptive mandate dealt more in falsehoods and hysteria than facts or the nuances of Cathol…

Can Islam Save The Economy?

By Nathan Schneider

…to more of the elusive “dialogue among civilizations” that leaders talk about but rarely do. “Certainly asking questions about the ethical boundaries of finance is in order,” says Ibrahim Warde, a professor of political science at Tufts University. There are any number of ways to think about economy in terms of right and wrong, but the Islamic case is different in an important sense. “Unlike other pockets of ethical finance,” he points out, “it do…

First it Was an Insurrection Flag, Now Supreme Court Justice Alito is Caught Flying Another Far-Right Flag — An ‘Emblem for an Extensive Spiritual Warfare Campaign’

By Annika Brockschmidt

…to Heaven” flag, and either online or watching Fox News enough to know about the Bud Light freak-out—and he feels compelled to participate in both. Second, he’s an insurrection supporter who feels so untouchable that he’s happy to show it for all the world to see, to cast out all what was left of any pretense. He knows he’s safe. And he’s probably right. At this point, the question seems to be not so much “which insurrectionist flags has Alito fl…

The Glorious, Ethnically-Challenged, Sisterhood of Spy

By Haroon Moghul

…ack Boyanov, but not intercept her, which of course she will. In reliably but also surprisingly amusing ways. Spy isn’t just about a woman who can do everything a man can. It’s not merely about the humdrum Cooper rising to do what stunningly attractive physical specimens, masculine and feminine, believe is entirely their preserve. Though that, too. Take, for example, Nargis Fakhri, a.k.a. Lia the very pleasantly unpredictable eye candy, an assassi…

Hillary Flirting with Fear

By Ira Chernus

…the brink of moral chaos. “No Surrender” promises that there still is absolute good, absolute evil, and an unbridgeable gap between the two. It guarantees that we are on the side of absolute good and will remain there, as long as we keep on fighting against the evildoers. That helps to explain how McCain managed to get the nomination, even though he was so widely disliked by the religious right. In those polls that ask people which issue is most i…

When Auschwitz Becomes a Poké Stop

By Karen E. Park

…ry. For years now we have been able to escape our physical spaces with our phones. But Pokémon Go doesn’t just allow us to avoid a “real” place in favor of a “virtual” one. It has instead transformed our real spaces into virtual ones. It may have been bad manners to play video games at a cemetery, or to take a selfie at a funeral, but with Pokémon, the funeral, the cemetery, and now even the Holocaust memorial and 9/11 memorial, have become the ga…

Scott Roeder’s Religion

By Sarah Posner

…raphed a piece of paper on the dashboard of Roeder’s car: It contained the phone number of Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue’s senior policy advisor, who served two years in prison for conspiring to bomb abortion clinics in 1988. Roeder also told me that Sullenger was present at the lunch with Newman where they discussed “justifiable” homicide, and that Newman had given Roeder the autographed copy of his book just three months before Roeder kille…

Why Antisemitism is an Insufficient (and Risky) Explanation for Hamas’s October 7 Attack on Israel

By Shane Burley

…Israeli and Palestinian loved ones this week know there is no military solution. The only future is peace and safety for all—grounded in freedom, justice, and equality,” the ADL shot back saying their ideas “help give rise to antisemitism” and employ “antisemitic tropes.” “In this moment of confusion and pain, we must be clear about one thing: Every Palestinian life, every Jewish life, and every Israeli life is precious, and the Israeli governmen…
