摘要

在二十世纪的整个过程中,数十名保守的新教牧师被指控性行为异常——包括同性行为和吸引。新教教会,反过来,尝试使用各种策略来破坏和挑战这些指控。从沉默和保密到公开谴责和分离,各教派团体努力在他们的牧师中破坏酷儿的证据。这篇文章调查了宗教团体和机构在处理令人不安但持续不断的关于其领导人不太正直的指控方面的尝试的百年历史。这个故事说明了保守的新教是如何能够坚持其对一种特定的性道德的主张,即使宗教领袖自己一再危及这一项目。

Queer Rumors: Protestant Ministers, Unnatural Deeds, and Church Censure in the Twentieth-Century United States
ABSTRACT Over the course of the twentieth century, dozens of conservative Protestant ministers were accused of sexual deviance—including instances of same-sex acts and attractions. Protestant churches, in turn, experimented with employing various tactics to undermine and challenge such accusations. From silencing and secrecy to public censure and disassociation, denominational bodies labored to undermine evidence of queerness among their ministers. This essay surveys a one-hundred-year history of religious groups’ and institutions’ attempts at dealing with the uncomfortable but persistent allegations of not-quite-straightness among their leaders. This story accounts for how conservative Protestantism has been able to maintain its claims to a particular kind of sexual morality even as religious leaders themselves have repeatedly jeopardized this project.
