Anti-Gay Evangelicalism is the Norm: A Less Rosy Take on the Evangelical “Tipping Point”

By Chrissy Stroop

…elical reactions to Caitlin Jenner’s transition, I tweeted: https://twitter.com/C_Stroop/status/608641069195001856 LGBTQ homelessness and suicide are natural consequences of the perpetuation of views denying the full humanity of lesbian, gay, bi, pan, trans, queer, and all non-heteronormative individuals. Any theology rejecting their full affirmation is clearly tantamount to such denial, as we now have a wealth of testimony that the vast majority…

How Protesting Black Bodies are Imagined as a Threat to National Pride

By Joseph Winters

…t on 9/11 should “remain in the locker room until kickoff”: https://twitter.com/RobLowe/status/774794641489223680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Interesting here is how the containment of black protest mirrors the containment of religion within liberalism. Protest, like religion, is fine as long as it is confined to its proper, and private, place. While Sunday football and the celebration of the nation are treated as sacred rituals, we should remember the am…

Tim Pawlenty’s Dilemma: How Far Will His Anti-Choice Extremism Go?

By Sarah Posner

…cessful in their attempts to enact fetal pain provisions.

Instead, it’s business as usual at Family Talk, his radio program, where Dobson has been busy hosting a three-part program on “Confronting Guilt in Motherhood” and, in another tone-deaf moment, tweeted a link…

SCOTUS’s Incoherent Masterpiece Cakeshop Decision

By Daniel Schultz

…enator Richard Painter summed it up pretty well on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWPUSA/status/1003690740696993792 The court could and should have made a strong ruling against discrimination.

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

Opposing LGBT rights and framing children as needing protection brings white evangelicals and other conservatives into the same coalition, while providing a dangerous invitation for people across the conservative movement to d…
