…—anecdotally, to be sure, and mostly in the Exvangelical support group, an online safe space for ex-Evangelicals founded by Blake Chastain—many people stating that evangelical Trump support was the final straw that led them to leave evangelicalism behind.

…ance artists, to a degree, these days? Are we not living mediated, largely online lives, via corporate platforms that require us to pose and post and like and link, crafting new modes of subjectivity?

…ents or by Christ. But adultery is not illegal, even though there are many instances of it contributing to STI transmission and family disruption. On the other hand, two men can be in a monogamous relationship, and be arrested for engaging in an act of intimacy. It really is unfair.
