The other way around? How freedom of religion may protect LGBT rights
While LGBT people are generally protected by a number of basic human rights, such as the right to privacy, freedom of expression and association, and the right not to be discriminated against, LGBT rights are repeatedly presented as contrary to freedom of religion. However, taking into account how religion has always been both condemning and embracing various forms of same-sex sexuality and transgenderism, and how an increasing number of religiou…

To Lock Up Eleusis
In this article, I argue that the geographical periphery, the eschatia, represented an area within the ancient Greek worldview that reflected a territorial parallel to the intermediate state of the Greek rites of passage. There were also a number of mythological ties between the eschatia and this ritual mid state, the most basic aspect of both of them consisting of a simultaneous being and non-being that entailed a sense of profound confusion of …
