Unholy War: Southern Baptist Convention Sexual Abuse Scandal
Michael McDonnell of SNAP
On tonight’s program we’ll be exploring the burgeoning sex abuse scandal which in recent weeks has engulfed the Southern Baptist Convention or SBC for short. After decades of refusal to acknowledge the widespread problem, SBC has finally acknowledged at least 700 accused abusers. We’ll also look at recent developments nationally and in NY state regarding the Catholic Church’s ongoing effort to suppress and contain damage to their power and riches, caused by those seeking justice and reform from the Catholic Church, by survivors of sex abuse inflicted by the Catholic church’s priesthood and hierarchy. Our guests will be members of the Survivor Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP for short. Mike McDonnell is SNAP's Communications Manager. Bobby Sas is a SNAP leader of the LGBTQ Plus Support group and a former Southern Baptist. Contact SNAP at 877-762-7432 or snapnetwork.org.
But first, we note the death of gay and AIDS activist Timothy Lunceford

Jamaican trans activists describe their struggle to maintain their creative fashion work in an intensely exploitative system. They discuss ambivalence about staying in Jamaica or seeking asylum elseware. We bring you an excerpt of sound from the event Amanda Taylor organized at the Barnard Center for Research on Women, titled Black, Queer & Trans: Mobilizing in the Caribbean and Beyond.

On May 10, 2022 East 68 Street at Lexington Ave. in Manhattan, was renamed Audre Lorde Way. This is notable as Lorde attended both Hunter High School and Hunter College located on that very street. In addition she went on to become a professor of poetry there in 1981. Scholars, politicians, lesbian activists and students gathered to give remarks on this auspicious occasion, three of which are presented to night: YA author Jaqueline Woodson, Historian Professor Blanche Wiesen Cook and professor of anthropology Dr. Jacqueline Nassy Brown.
