Sex and politics.

Hey there, Micro Savage Lovecast listeners.

We wanted to share a little taste of sex and politics with you.

Sex and Politics is a bonus podcast. We produce every once in a while for our Magnum Subs.

Sex and Politics is just one of the perks for subs, along with more calls and guests on the

Lovecast, more questions, and Savage Love the column, and invites to Savage Love Live Zoom

Hangouts. In this installment of sex and

politics, I speak with author, activist, speaker, Matthew Vines. Vines was a student at Harvard in

2012 when he took a leave of absence to study the Bible and homosexuality. He was an evangelical

Christian kid going to Harvard.

He went home to the church in Wichita, Kansas, where he had been raised, and gave a speech

to the congregation where he'd been raised about why the church should accept gay people

and accept gay relationships.

That went on to become a book called God and the gay Christian, the

biblical case in support of same-sex relationships. And Matthew went on to found the Reformation

Project, which works with evangelical Christian communities to help them get the fuck over their hatred

and fear of gay men and lesbians and bisexual people and our relationships.

When you look at trend lines among evangelical Christians, what you see over the last decade

and change is growing support for same-sex marriage, Matthew Vines can take a great share of the

credit for that growing support.

I invited Matthew to come on the show and talk.
