GENDER, SEXUALITY AND SOUTHERN BAPTISTS

By Sarah Stankorb
Slate
The Southern Baptist Conventions’s resolution to oppose the use of
in vitro fertilization has been getting headlines, but a look at
their entire annual meeting shows that gender and sexuality are at the
heart of the denomination’s battles over its future.
ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE STAFF OPPOSE GAZA POLICY
[[link removed]]
By Marjorie Cohn
Truthout
A coalition of active-duty service members, veterans and G.I. rights
groups have launched a campaign called Appeal for Redress V2 to
encourage military personnel to tell Congress to stop funding genocide
in Gaza. It is modeled after the 2006 Appeal for Redress issued
during the occupation of Iraq.

By Amy Pritchard
The Guardian
I took action in the hope that people in those offices, and in the
wider JPMorgan Chase corporation, and people in general, are moved to
take the next bold step that they can, to make drastic change. When
you see doctors and grandmothers breaking your windows in objection
to your work, I believe this has great potential for change.

By Nick Mordowanec
Newsweek
Bishop Mark Seitz has seen countless immigrants come and go during his
years of service in the southern border city of El Paso,
telling _Newsweek_ that challenging the policies and narratives of
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other officials is sometimes
necessary to protect the most vulnerable.

Grist
The confluence of indoor and outdoor heat has inspired some workers to
unionize and fight for stronger safeguards at work. Employees at a
Seattle-based sandwich chain recently secured historic protections
against extreme heat in their first union contract.
IS ANTI-ANTI-SEMITISM ANTI-SEMITIC?
[[link removed]]
By Roman Altshuler
Salon
Beyond taking on the perceived penchant for progressivism on college
campuses, Republicans sense an even more powerful weapon: Now charges
of antisemitism can be used to attack protesting students, while
manipulating the narrative to make Democrats appear as the party of
social disorder, while also undermining Democrats before the November
election.
GAY THEORISTS IN RETREAT
[[link removed]]
By Samuel Huneke
The Baffler
Gay men, once at the vanguard of progressive change, are now regularly
denounced by queer theory’s practitioners as “agents and dupes”
of the dreaded status quo. “The academic field dedicated to
overcoming our vast inheritance of homophobia,” Tae-ho Kim and
Blake Smith continue, now “ironically perpetuates it.”

By Eric Herschthal
The New Republic

longer than most histories state and achieved wider gains.
