How Southern Baptists Learned to Hate Women, Gays



How Southern Baptists Learned to Hate Women, Gays

The U.S.’s largest Protestant denomination, Southern Baptists, has had a good year, with the Supreme Court’s overturning of the Roe Vs. Wade abortion precedent. How Southern Baptists came to be involved in conservative politics to wield a virulently misogynist and homophobic agenda is a fascinating story–one that journalist Sarah Posner tells in her new investigation for The Nation.
