Russia Expels Gay American Pastor, An Epidemic of Anti-LGBT Violence in Brazil, And More in the Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…esponded to what they called a “conference of hate” only with a few hit-and-run public measures. The gathering’s agenda jived with Moscow’s anti-Western propaganda, often centered within Eurasia on emphasizing the wariness of LGBT rights that Russia shares with former Soviet republics like Georgia. In a fiery denunciation, the WCF’s Georgian host, US-educated businessman Levan Vasadze, declared that the West owes Georgia an apology for foisting “s…

Religion and Science: Busting Assumptions

By Annie Hardison-Moody

…ages that promise to change our world in the blink of an eye. We want black-and-white answers to complicated questions about life, reality, and nature—things that can’t always be described in a Twitter-friendly 140 characters or less. These questions about life and reality are often the same questions that sit at the heart of the so-called wars between religion and science, depicted in the media as two opposing sides in an endless battle. It’s as…

Holy Grail is Found!

By Gwynne Watkins

…d fancy cups for a living. But Grail historians are still looking for jewel-encrusted goblets. Why? Because they believe in the legend, and the Biblical account of Christ’s last meal doesn’t have much to do with it. In the Bible, the Holy Grail only appears insofar as Jesus and his disciples shared a cup of wine at Passover. No attention is drawn to it, any more than the plates they presumably ate the bread from. The legend of the Grail can be tra…

This Radical Religious Freedom Dissent Reveals Kavanaugh’s Views on Sex and Power

By Patricia Miller

…s,” or, as one Florida Republican woman put it, “[W]e’re talking about a 17-year-old boy in high school with testosterone running high. Tell me, what boy hasn’t done this in high school?” Both the sweeping religious liberty claims made by conservative forces like Priests for Life and the assertions made by Kavanaugh’s defenders come from exactly the same place: a desire to reassert traditional, patriarchal sexual mores. Under these rules, men can’…

Cleansing Monsters: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

By Joseph Laycock

…r reflected a schism in America’s secret undead government. Lincoln was recruited by a cabal of scrupulous vampires known as “The Union,” while Southern vampires sought not only to preserve slavery, but to complete their domination over humanity. In this version of history, The Emancipation Proclamation served a strategic function by depriving Confederate vampires of their food source. Vampires remain a powerful symbol of evil, and storie…

Manischewitz Bought By Romney’s Old Crew

By Gordon Haber

…it. Rabbi Dov Manischewitz founded the business in 1888. At the time, matzo-baking was a laborious affair, further complicated by the halakhic stipulation that a matzo had to be made within 18 minutes. Rabbi Dov, however, figured out a way to mechanize the process and keep it kosher, making him the Henry Ford of the matzo business, although presumably without the antisemitism. Eventually the company branched out into other kosher comestibles like…

Undercover Bosses as Minor Divinities: What Ever Happened to ‘Take this Job and Shove It’?

By Peter Laarman

…possessors of great wealth themselves: a kind of magical realism that state-run lotteries and gambling dens of all descriptions take full advantage of. Second is the despicable way in which we have raised today’s young to buy into the casino mentality, where it’s each for himself or for herself and where learning the art of the con is every bit as important as any real achievement. We coach the best and brightest to slither their way up the greasy…

Revelations from Family of Secrets (an addendum)

By Frederick Clarkson

…e no innocent, was not the instigator of the Watergate crimes and the cover-up, but appears to have been set-up. What’s more, some of the seeming good guys, were not, and much of what seemed to be, was not as it seemed. Among those he implicates in the set-up are Poppy Bush and perhaps most remarkably, John Dean, the former White House counsel who became best known as the key whistleblower. *In a related point, Baker notes that Nixon suspected the…

In Wake of Murder in Uganda, LGBT Group Protests Prayer Breakfast

By Kay Steiger

…the president expressing his personal faith. “This is not an anti-religion protest. I’m a seminary graduate myself. There’s no way this is an anti-religion protest,” Cronk says. “We’re organizing it with the Unitarian Universalist Association with Soul Force… This isn’t anti-religion; this is anti-hatred.” “Talking about their personal faith is one thing,” says GetEQUAL’s Michael Dixon, a protest organizer, “but when they affiliate themselves wit…

Noise in the Hood: Raising the Volume and Losing Our Bodies

By Peter Laarman

…ss relations and class consciousness. He shows his contempt for smug middle- and upper-middle class types demanding silence as their natural right providing a hilarious account of Thomas Carlyle’s frustrated efforts to build himself a soundproof study in a raucous 1850s London. Keizer also has little patience with academic elites who wish to celebrate noisy outbursts of peasants and workers as “subversive.” For readers who value finely-wrought soc…
