Normalization is Control: Telling Stories to Survive

By Mariam Durrani

The following is a lightly edited version of a talk given at this week’s annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association. In an interview with the Guardian, Homa Hoodfar, a Canadian-Iranian anthropologist, said she survived her time in an Iranian prison by studying her captors. She would lie on the floor and use the end of her toothbrush to scratch observations on the walls. Through participant observation at a prison, Hoodfar wrote fi…

Evangelicals in Moral Panic Over Exvangelicals

By Chrissy Stroop

…s newsletter comments about exvangelicals in an open letter, asking him to talk to, rather than merely about, exvies. As I addressed the points he raised, I shared some of my own experience, including some things we have in common, like teenage suicidal ideation in connection with a crisis of faith. I suggested that, given the strict patriarchal nature of evangelicalism, his being a straight white man and my being a transgender woman might help to…

New Report: Prop. 8 Was Parent-Approved

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…way in every election. We give them the power to define us when only they talk about us. We therefore have to talk about ourselves or we functionally forfeit the election. Honesty is therefore not only the idealistic option; it is also our only realistic option. The alternative is hoping that voters will figure out the truth about us when we give them no information to help them, knowing they will be exposed to anti-gay propaganda… While it remai…

Céad Mile Fáilte: Open Hearts, Shifting Power Paradigms, and the Irish Same-Sex Referendum

By Gareth Higgins

…the Church needs a “reality check.” In the North, however, where space to talk about these things was squeezed out for so long by the Troubles, we’ve only just begun to have a public conversation about pluralism, and hardly even started to talk about the possibility that LGBT people might already be in our churches, gifted to contribute in ways that might help heal us all. What to do about this is not obvious. If, as Friar Richard Rohr (another e…

The Problem with the Discussion of Race and the Tea Party Movement

By Julie Ingersoll

…any, it was true then and is still true a year and a half later: Americans talk a lot about race; they just rarely discuss it. We do have political leaders (on both the left and the right) inflaming the public discourse by throwing around the epithet “racist” to serve their own interests. But even those of us who want to be constructive are stymied because our language fails us. In today’s Washington Post, E.J. Dionne has a helpful piece on the cu…

Bryan Fischer Sees Gay Agenda in Lunch Mixer

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…o break out of their usual friendships and talk with different kids. Nerds talking to jocks, cheerleaders talking to brainiacs, black kids talking to white kids, American kids talking to kids from other cultures and countries, Muslims talking to Christians and, gasp, straight kids talking to the gay kids. The hope of the SPLC is that such bridging of the usual lunchroom social gaps will result in fewer incidents of bullying—because once you get to…

GOP Chair Reince Priebus: “There’s only one sovereign God”

By Daniel Schultz

There’s been a lot of talk about Republican efforts to repair their image after Mitt Romney’s defeat last year. A lot of talk. We’ve been told that the GOP is eager to reach out to blacks, Hispanics, gays and lesbians—and told just as often how those efforts have failed, miserably. The basic problem faced by Republican leaders is that their base isn’t actually on very good terms with the kinds of voters the party needs to remain competitive in th…

Global LGBT Recap: Nigeria Jails Gays, Russian Orthodox Spox Calls for Criminalization Referendum

By Peter Montgomery

…BT movement being the antichrist, and there has been a lot of that kind of talk. And then you have people on television talking about the LGBT people being less than human. For example, the number two person in the state broadcasting company – actually now he’s the number one person – hosted a show devoted to the question of whether it was enough to protect our children to ban homosexual propaganda or whether more needed to be done. He argued that…

Will Rand Paul Break the Religious Outreach Mold?

By Sarah Posner

…wakening to a group of pastors was a wholly inadequate substitute for real talk on religious freedom. As Steve Benen pointed out when Paul spoke to that group of pastors in Washington late last month, the prospective candidate told them, “[T]here’s a moral crisis that allows people to think that there would be some sort of other marriage.” That kind of talk–of moral crises, the hint at the “redefinition” of marriage–might have passed religious con…

A King for Jesus: What the Religious Right Sees in Trump

By Roger O. Friedland

…yptic tribulations, Hillary stands in as a female anti-Christ whose global talk heralds the end times. A large percentage of the evangelical voters are voting for Trump because they are against Clinton. He is not her. But this is not just an ordinary sexism, a preference for men over women: It is an affirmation of political patriarchalism. Trump is a powerful father who, while he fornicates with whom he likes, will protect the homeland, not a moth…
