#35: Talking Same-Sex Marriage Opposition With College Sophomores

June 05, 2018

In this episode, we go into Dan's class on "Gender, Sex, Race, and the Bible" to discuss Ludger Viefhues-Bailey's book Between a Man and a Woman? Why Conservatives Oppose Same-Sex Marriage. And in One Last Thing, Dan has been watching the Marvel apocalypse, Courtney has been thinking about graduations as endings, and Tim just wants to gross you out.

Some of the things we talked about in this episode:

If you want some summer reading, you can email Dan for his syllabus.

In his book, Viefhues-Bailey referenced both What's the Matter With Kansas? and this debate between Alan Wolfe and James Davison Hunter.

Courtney mentioned the Buddhist flag.

Dan's OLT is about Avengers: Infinity War. And if you don't know an infinity stone from a kidney stone, NPR's Glen Weldon has you covered.

Courtney's OLT is about graduations.

And Tim's OLT is about this poor woman.
