Weak Data, Small Samples, and Politicized Conclusions on LGBT Discrimination

by Mark Regnerus, Public Discourse: The measurement, analytic, and interpretive decision-making displayed in much (though certainly not all) of the LGBT discrimination and well-being literature is troubling, indicative of a lack of standards, poorly defined concepts, impressionistic conclusions derived from small numbers of interviews, the politicization of results, and the overall novelty of the field. According to a purported deep dive into the social scientific literature, discrimination...

Hostility towards Christians on the rise in Europe, report claims

from Christian Today: Christians in Europe experienced 325 incidents of intolerance in the past year, a new report has found.  In its 2018 Hate Crimes report, the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe warns that believers in the region are being “squeezed” in various ways.

Stand up, male comedy writers, against this feminist onslaught

by Will Jones, The Conservative Woman: ANOTHER day, another feminist activist with a little power using it to disadvantage men and favour women, and getting away with it. Saskia Schuster, head of comedy for ITV, has announced she will no longer commission shows with all-male writing teams. Shockingly, if predictably, she justified her new policy with a crude generalisation about men: ‘Too often the writing room is not sensitively run. It can be aggressive and slightly bullying.’ Really? Does...

The Guardian attacks religious teaching on gender, revealing that society requires complete secularization and opposes all religious truth claims

by Albert Mohler: Then next, we’re going to turn to an even more important article on a similar theme. This one appeared in the Guardian, a liberal newspaper published in London. The author is Beatrice Alba. The headline, “If we reject gender discrimination in every other arena, why do we accept it in religion?” This is a big story that zeroes in on something Christians had better observe very closely.

Anti-Discrimination “Equality” Law Exemptions Do Not Lead to Fairness for All: An International Perspective

by Paul Coleman, Public Discourse: Although exemptions are often billed as a compromise, the evidence suggests that they will never be enough to satisfy those who think religious believers are discriminating and getting away with it. The “compromise” soon becomes a zero-sum game with only one winner. In recent years, almost all Western nations have adopted anti-discrimination equality legislation. At first glance, this seems like a good idea. After all, who could be against equality? As the...
