Mormons Fight Marriage Equality in Mexico; Is Catholic Church Italy’s Anti-Gay NRA?; Nigerian Anglicans Cut Ties With UK Diocese; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…de Israel, as marriage is entirely overseen by religious courts with no civil alternative. Only Jewish, Christian, Muslim or Druze religious authorities can perform marriages, and none offer gay couples the chance to marry. Like mixed faith straight couples, gay couples must marry in another country such as France or Canada, but once they do, they are recognised as a married couple in the Jewish state.

CERN: Where Particle Physics Collides with Human Sacrifice (Apparently)

By Joseph Laycock

…Station in Long Island. The secret and restricted nature of government facilities allows them to function as a mythic realm in contemporary folklore. But inclusion in modern mythology can be a headache for actual researchers. CERN’s office of media and press relations is repeatedly forced to answer such questions as, “Will CERN open a door to another dimension?” One can hardly blame some researchers for trolling the conspiracy theorists. If we fi…

Seek and Ye Shall Find… Anti-Gay Views

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ket among religious Internet users. There is also Jewogle for Jews and I’mHalal, a Muslim search engine that started in the Netherlands. As our world continues to fracture into so many camps of “us” and “them,” I find this trend very disturbing. The ultimate value of any search engine is that it will deliver—at the click of a button—all the views on any given subject. Sometimes those views are factually incorrect, and sometimes those views are jus…

By Peter Montgomery

…llegal in nearly 80 countries, and at the time of the convention, it was still illegal in Australia, the UK, most of the United States, and most of Europe—in Australia and other former British colonies, these laws were a legacy of British colonial rule. When the United States began accepting gay and lesbian asylum seekers in 1990, some states still had anti-sodomy laws on the books. (The Supreme Court ultimately declared these laws unconstitutiona…

White Conservative Christian America Not Going Down Without a Fight

By Paul Harvey

…velopment of an educated citizenry.” Finally, according to the platform, while internet pornography is a public health crisis, guns are not. The resurgence of cultural conservatives in the drafting of the party platform, and cultural nationalists more generally within the Trump orbit, stands in stark contrast to what Robert Jones calls “the eclipse of white Christian America” in his piece for The Atlantic, which effectively previews his new book T…

By Peter Montgomery

…ts, while zina violations carry a penalty of 100 lashes. The criminal code also allows Islamic courts to dismiss charges against rape suspects who take an Islamic oath, sumpah dilaknat Allah, asserting their innocence – so long as the court determines there’s a lack of incriminating “other evidence.” Within days of Aceh’s bylaws coming into force, special Sharia police arrested two “suspected lesbians” – women aged 18 and 19 – who were spotted hug…

Jesus Christ and Super Stars: How The Holy Rolled Mainstream in Pop Music

By Alana Massey

…of children and parents alike in his 1990s heyday, but his most controversial album, Antichrist Superstar, was little more than a play on words of a harmless and beloved musical. Even the reliably contrarian Slayer could come up with an album title no more nuanced or threatening to the establishment than God Hates Us All for their early twenty-first century release. It was a time of ordinary gods fighting ordinary devils. This was true at least of…

#WeStandWithIsaac: A Movement for LGBT Inclusion in the Mennonite Church

By Scott Schomburg

…his flames flicker and flare, making visible the people and their loves. While the internet media blitz of support and love for Isaac continues, I’ve found myself returning to the CHMF website—a quieter image of our little congregation in all its complexity—where you’ll find Isaac preaching about fire and tears and blue birds, about life as “a fleeting education in how to love.” A wonderfully boring home page will welcome you there, and, among oth…

Fake Gay Panic News Fools Christians

By Sarah Posner

…liberty, criminalize Christianity, and demand that Americans abandon Biblical principles of natural marriage.” That panicked advisory itself was widely shared. So when people who themselves believe marriage equality is a threat to their religion, or to their culture, or to their pastor are primed with hysterical scenarios from their leaders, is it surprising that a bit of fake viral news serves as confirmation bias? Stetzer urges his readers to po…

By Julie Ingersoll

…d religion” in the Left Behind movies) was stepping up to critique the pluralistic spirituality promoted by Beck. In Howse’s view, the not-so-fictional Left Behind novels are being played out before our eyes. Pastors and evangelical leaders literally locked arms with all faiths, including Imams, in a spiritual endeavor despite the clear biblical warnings of II Corinthians 6:14… The Mormon Church is now rejoicing over the public relations success t…
