  In this video clip Zea–a 7-year-old first grader–stands up to bully religious right. The argument he shouted at her could have been taken from the pages of evangelical sources and their reaction to the Supreme Court decisions on gay marriage. When this preacher began ranting at a child through a microphone, little Zea just waved her rainbow flag and never backed down. Her dad, Ryan Bowling, posted this video of the confrontation on YouTube. It took place over the weekend at ComFest, a music... Read more

“This essay, which represents my first detailed public statement on how evangelical Protestantism lost me, is addressed both to those evangelicals who are celebrating momentum on LGBTQ acceptance within the “big tent,” as well as to those evangelicals whom I would describe as fundamentalist, or fundamental-ish. The ones who still represent the majority of evangelicals, the ones I come from.” *** So writes Christopher Stroop, PhD, History and Humanities (Stanford University) and Senior Lecturer, School of Public Policy, Humanities Department Russian Presidential Academy of... Read more

  A Facebook friend sent me a note and a link to one of my dad’s old speeches he’d given in 1982 at Coral Gables Church. I spoke there too back in the bad old days of my far right activism. I re-watched the talk. Dad mentioned the projects we’d worked on together several times. It was good to hear his voice. But… while so much of what Dad said was so well said, there is so much I’ve grown to... Read more

All the GOP candidates for president pledged to fight on following the gay marriage court ruling. Here is what they said BUT I’ve ADDED MY OWN WORDS to each actual statement in BOLD CAPS to get to the point of what they really mean... IF YOU COULD GET INTO THEIR HEADS… Mike Huckabee, said that while he was certain that “some cowardly politicians will wave the white flag,” he was determined not to bow to a decision he saw as illegitimate. “I... Read more

Here’s another reason to keep the Republicans out of the White House …they would not light up the White House in the rainbow of colors! Thanks Mr. President! Every single GOP candidate for president blasted the Supreme Court for making gay marriage a right the very same week they blasted them (and filed new lawsuits, no kidding!) for upholding health care for the poor, the very same week they defended the confederate flag. At least the GOP is consistent– they... Read more

As Alexandra Ma notes in “Americans Are Googling ‘Gun Control’ Instead Of ‘Gun Shop'” (Huffington Post) Google just released fascinating data on how Search users reacted to the racist violence on June 17 in SC. Its newly revamped Trends tool has a rundown of the topics people searched after the tragedy.  The data shows that searches for “gun control” surpassed those for “gun shop” across the United States. This is something new. Searches for “gun shop” are usually more popular than “gun control,” according to data... Read more
