…uage. I decided to provide life coaching and spiritual counseling to LGBTI South Asians because every time I would return back from a human rights deployment abroad, the state for South Asians LGBTI’s in the UK was the same. Dire, closeted, in fear and hidden. There has never been any literature for non-English speaking parents on this matter so I decided to take matters in my own hands. In fact, my book Bollywood Gay out February 2016 has a pamph…

…th penalty. In India, those who are seen as engaging in religious offense (listed under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code) can face a prison sentence, a hefty fine, or an extra-judicial killing.

American Prosperity Gospel Makes South Sudan “Ripe for Exploitation”

…o Brazil, where cultural religious traditions such as Candomble are demonized, and Pentecostalism is lauded as the progressive religion not connected to a difficult history? I predict all of the above. The fears of the Sudan Ecumenical Forum that South Sudan is “ripe for exploitation by unscrupulous preachers” are well founded. The die has been cast, and the relationship that was started in order to stop genocide will be a relationship that will f…

Reuters documents the harrowing story of one infected person in South Korea attending two church services and spreading COVID to another 1,200 people and that that “Church cluster accounts for at least 60% of all cases in South Korea.” Clerics seeking exemption from social distancing orders are not simply asking for a right to gather and worship, they are also asking for a right to risk the health and lives of every other member of the…

I want to suggest that often when problems crop up around religious or religiously-motivated speech in the United States, they often have less to do with rights per se than with the unwritten code that determines how these rights are to be taken.
