I am an Emeritus Professor of Anthropology. My interests centered on Symbolic Anthropology (combining interests in language, personality, gender, and religion). I served as the chair of Utah State University's Religious Studies Certificate Program. And I published a text titled Anthropology of Religion: the Unity and Diversity of Religion.

One of the few peoples of central Mexico not ruled from the Mexica capital city of Tenochtitlan, the Tlaxcalteca resided in the next valley to the east and became Cortés\u27s powerful allies.

LDS Doctrinal Rhetoric and the Politics of Same-Sex Marriage

These include the U.S. Branch of Soka Gakkai International Buddhist Association, Reconstructionist Judaism, the Metropolitan Community Church, the Unitarian Universalists, and even two Restorationist denominations within the Mormon tradition. The LDS Church headquartered in Salt Lake City is like the majority of denominations in not performing such marriages. However, it differs from most in that in addition to not performing religious same-sex marriages, it is also politically active in opposing secular recognition of same-sex marriages. I wish to address how this political activism intertwines with religious rhetoric concerning marriage, including both what is said and what goes without saying.
