Faith and Politics, Part II

Queer PoliFaith ·

2023/02/16

Today we talk more about how faith and politics affect each other, focusing mainly on the more progressive form of Christianity and left-wing politics.

Welcome back to season 2 of Queer PoliFaith! I am really excited to be back and hope you enjoy the show as it evolves. Today, I talk a little about how the show came to be and what to expect from Season 2 up until June. Then, we talk about how right-wing politics and faith have affected each other for centuries and how that has morphed into a merging of the two where they are inseparable from each other. We also talk about the effect this merging has on how people interact with the world and how

Respect for Marriage Act

Queer PoliFaith ·

2022/11/22

Today we are talking about the Respect for Marriage Act, what it does/doesn't do, what cloture is, why the bill is important, and my thoughts about the bill. I definitely find myself agreeing with people who argue that the bill, though flawed in many respects, is worth working on and passing. What we cannot do, however, is give up after passing it because there is a lot more work that needs to be done. So please stay in the fight even after this bill passes (which looks very likely). I cited this

Same Sex Marriage Cases

Queer PoliFaith ·

2022/10/20

Today we will be discussing three cases which had an imoact on same-sex marriages: Hollingsworth v. Perry, United States v. Windsor, and Obergefell v. Hodges. The first two were decided in 2013 and the last in 2015. Please note that I do not talk about marriage equality. That is because there are people who cannot get married to those whom they might want to marry or cannot get married without being penalized in some way. True marriage equality is a distance off still. Next episode we will talk

Today we are talking about 2 cases: Griswold v. Connecticut and Romer v. Evans. Griswold established the right to marital privacy that proved foundational to several other cases and Romer ruled that a Colorado constitutional amendment passed by the voters of Colorado (53% to 47%) was unconstiutional because it was based on animus. Both cases laid the groundwork for other cases we have already talked about. On the 20th, we will be talking about 3 cases related to same-sex marriage: United States v

Abortion Decisions

2022/08/25

Today we discuss the 3 major decisions regarding abortion: Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, and Dobbs v. Jackson Whole Women's Health. I do also discuss my personal views about abortion as well as a couple of brief discussions of other abortion cases. Given that this is a very controversial topic, I wanted to make sure that my biases were perfectly clear, hence the discussion regarding my personal views. I do also think that the issue is more nuanced than many people allow for. As always,

Today we talk about some basic terminology, different types of sexual orientation with a focus on asexual and aromantic terms, and some basics about being intersex. A couple of notes.

All the intersex information is from https://interactadvocates.org/faq/intersex-lgbtqia/ and https://interactadvocates.org/faq/. To see the Powerpoints

Special Episode #2

Queer PoliFaith ·

2022/06/21

This episode discusses the Texas GOP party platform, how religion and politics mix to make something horrific, how "concern" for women and children is used as a cover for transphobia, and the transphobic new rules from FINA. Just a warning, there are a few curse words in here. Not a lot, but they are there, and no, I am not going to apologize. I feel very passionately about what I am talking about and it shows itself here. Click here to go to the CNN article I mention. Click here to see an article
