Video of a slam poetry performance by a twenty-year-old University of North Carolina drama student
is going viral, with nearly 70,000 views on YouTube. The controversial title and message of his
poem: God is gay.
Elliot Darrow identifies as a straight male and says his identity as an out Christian drives his
writing. Like many Christian millennials, Darrow does not currently attend churchmore due to the
chaos that is college than anything else, he saysbut he grew up Presbyterian in the Carrboro-
Chapel Hill area. Social issues comprise the core of his poetry portfolio, and the viral piece was one of
his first to directly address his faith.
Darrow says the idea began eighteen months ago when he wondered, what if God were gay? I
personally believe that God is not a sexual being, but at the same time, to make a statement, what if
He were, was all in attempt to show people that even God, who we all see as infallible, still has
human traits, such as sexuality, or loves people of a specific gender or identity, Darrow says.
He then examined Biblical passages to explore how the church should view the gay community. Ive
seen so many people, in my mind, misuse the Bible to preach not necessarily hatred, but just
ignorance toward people who are of other preferences, he says. I want to show that regardless of
how someone identifies, God wants to love them, and God does love them. The best way Ive found to
do that is to use the Bible, to use teachings that I have been taught.
The poem is a dynamic work of gay liberation theology. Darrow use Bible passages to challenge
conventional views about God: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth / and it
wasnt just good, it was fabulous and Keep in mind Jesus had two dads and turned out just fine / In
fact, Jesus had two dads and a surrogate mother / That never had sex with either of them / Maybe
Mary was a lesbian.
The most powerful moment comes when Darrow interprets the classic Biblical story of Moses and
the burning bush. In the book of Exodus, Moses is watching sheep in the desert when he sees a bush
on fire but not burning up. Then an angel speaks to him from inside the flame and tells him to lead
the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. God then liberates the people, whom society subjugated, from
oppression. Heres how Darrow sees the passage:
A history lesson: A faggot is a bundle of sticks / Originally used as kindling for fires that engulfed gays /
When they were burned at the stake, people were firewood / But Moses came across wood on fire and
saw God in it / What is a burning bush but bundles of branches / On fire, isnt it funny how faggots and
God can look the same sometimes?
Darrow hopes that Biblical messages like his can counter anti-gay groups like Westboro Baptist
Church. One of his own greatest influences, he says, is the pastor emeritus of his home church, Rev.
Haywood Holderness of Westminster Presbyterian in Durham. Even as a young child, Darrow
remembers listening to Holderness sermons and taking to heart his repeated message that God is a
loving being. Ive always had such a loving relationship with the church, he says. All people should
be afforded that, regardless of their orientation, their creed, gender.
Full text of the poem:
What if I told you God is gay?
Do you think belligerent bible-belters
Would still holler hate speech to the hilltops
In His name?
Or do you think they would reread the scriptures
They say they swear and survive by
See, Ive been reading the Bible again lately
And I think Ive taken a leaf from their holy book,
Picking passages for my purpose
Which is in short
To let you know its very possible God is gay.
I mean think about the book of Genesis
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
And it wasnt just good, it was fabulous.
I mean what else is our planet but the pinnacle
Of exterior design, and I dont mean to generalize
But it certainly seems like that the Garden of Eden
Was designed by queer, I mean divine eye for the straight guy
But some Christians would go as far as to call
Gods creations abominations
Heretics calling themselves faithful
When their faith is full of belief that only God may pass judgment
Matthew 7:1 Judge and you too shall be judged
Luke 6: 37 Condemn not and you shall not be condemned
Fred Phelps 2006: Youre going to hell! God hates fags!
A history lesson: A faggot is a bundle of sticks
Originally used as kindling for fires that engulfed gays
When they were burned at the stake, people were firewood
But Moses came across wood on fire and saw God in it,
What is a burning bush but bundles of branches
On fire, isnt it funny how faggots and God can look the same sometimes?
Keep in mind Jesus had two dads and turned out just fine
In fact, Jesus had two dads and a surrogate mother
That never had sex with either of them,
Maybe Mary was a lesbian
And I remember the prayer going
Hail Mary, full of grace
Not full of sin,
Pray for us sinners
For we have become blinded by bigotry.
And forgotten that God gave us the rainbow
As a promise that we will never be flooded again
Either with rain or ignorance
And now all the homosexual Homo sapiens
Stand more united under Gods rainbow
Than all of his denominations do around the cross.
I was brought up believing that my Savior loved us all
And never had to specify no homo
But if you have hate in your heart
Say it dont pray it
Dont teach it and for the love of God dont preach it
Because I am tired of these fire and brimstone sermons
Slinging slurs when theyre not firing brimstones
From voices that should be filled with love and praise
Instead of raised with hate and rage
I am a Christian, and I believe in saying the Christian thing.
Which used to sound like Love thy neighbor as thyself
But now sounds more like hate at the top of your picket signs
The closest thing to God being Hell, is waiting for you
Theyre passing out damnation pamphlets
Filled with out-of-context Bible verses
Trying to define God
When his meaning is clear.
He is acceptance, He is pride, He is humility, He is just,
God is perfection, God is protection, God is love,
But most importantly
God is gay

The many problems of the SATs essay section.
By Matthew J.X. Malady
To
do well on the essay portion of the SAT, the best approach is to just make stuff up.

This past Saturday, several hundred thousand prospective college students filed into schools
across the United States and more than 170 other countries to take the SAT$51 registration
fees paid, No. 2 pencils sharpened, acceptable calculators at the ready. And as part of the three-
hour-and-45minute ritual, each person taking the 87-year-old test spent 25 minutes drafting a
prompt-based essay for the exams writing section.
This essay, which was added to the SAT in 2005, counts for approximately 30 percent of a test-
takers score on the writing section, or nearly one-ninth of ones total score. That may not seem
like much, but with competition for spots at top colleges and universities more fierce than ever,
performance on a portion of the test worth around 11 percent of the total could be the difference
between Stanford and the second tier. So its not surprising that students seek strategies and tips
that will help them succeed on the writing exercise. Les Perelman, the recently retired former
director of MITs Writing Across the Curriculum program, has got a doozy.
To do well on the essay, he says, the best approach is to just make stuff up.
It doesnt matter if [what you write] is true or not, says Perelman, who helped create MITs
writing placement test and has consulted at other top universities on the subject of writing
assessments. In fact, trying to be true will hold you back. So, for instance, in relaying personal
experiences, students who take time attempting to recall an appropriately relatable circumstance
from their lives are at a disadvantage, he says. The best advice is, dont try to spend time
remembering an event, Perelman adds, Just make one up. And Ive heard about students
making up all sorts of events, including deaths of parents who really didnt die.
This approach works, and is advisable, he suggests, because of how the SAT essay is structured
and graded. Heres a typical essay prompt taken from the College Board website. It follows a
short, three-sentence passage noting that people hold different views on the subject to be
discussed:
Assignment: Do memories hinder or help people in their effort to learn from the past and
succeed in the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on
this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading,
studies, experience, or observations.
After spending a few moments reading a prompt similar to that one, test takers have 25 minutes
in which to draft a submission that will be scored on a 1-to-6 scale. (No scratch paper is provided
for outlining or essay planning.) Most students choose to write what is referred to as the
standard five-paragraph essay: introductory and concluding paragraphs bookending three
paragraphs of support in between. Each essay is later independently graded by two readers in a
manner that harkens to the famous I Love Lucy scene wherein Lucy and Ethel attempt to wrap
chocolate candies traveling on an unrelenting conveyer belt.
Anne Ruggles Gere, a professor at the University of Michigan, serves as director of the
Sweetland Center for Writing, which oversees first-year writing at the university. She speaks
with SAT essay-graders often. What they tell me is that they go through a very regimented
scoring process, and the goal of that process is to produce so many units of work in a very short
period of time, she says. So if they take more than about three minutes to read and score these
essays, they are eliminated from the job of scoring. According to Perelman, especially speedy
graders are rewarded for their efforts. They expect readers to read a minimum of 20 essays an
hour, he says. But readers get a bonus if they read 30 essays an hour, which is two minutes per
essay.
Gere and Perelman arent the only ones who know about the demands placed upon SAT essay
graders. Many students do, too. Those with a firm grasp of what time-pressured essay-readers
care aboutand, to be sure, what things they dont care aboutcan increase their chances at a
high score by resorting to all sorts of approaches that are, shall we say, less than ideal. For
starters, facts dont just take a back seat when it comes to describing personal experiences on the
SAT essay; they dont matter in general.
Theres really no concern about factual accuracy, says Gere. In fact, the makers of the SAT
have indicated that in scoring it really doesnt matter if you say that the War of 1812 occurred in
1817. The complete lack of attention to any kind of accuracy of information conveys a very
strange notion of what good writing might be.
Thats one way of putting it. Perelman, who has trained SAT takers on approaches for achieving
the highest possible essay score, has another.
What they are actually testing, he says, is the ability to bullshit on demand. There is no other
writing situation in the world where people have to write on a topic that theyve never thought
about, on demand, in 25 minutes. Lots of times we have to write on demand very quickly, but its
about things weve thought about. What they are really measuring is the ability to spew forth as
many words as possible in as short a time as possible. It seems like it is training students to
become politicians.
Graders dont have time to look up facts, or to check if an especially uncommon word actually
exists, or perhaps even to do anything more than skim an essay before making a grading
determination. Score-savvy essay writers can figure out what might catch the eye of a skimmer.
I tell students to always use quotations, because the exam readers love quotations, Perelman
says. One of the other parts of the formula is use big words. Never usemany, always
use myriad or plethora. Never say bad, always use egregious.
Of course, according the College Board website that millions of students have used to prepare for
the exam, there are no shortcuts to success on the SAT essay. And the countrys largest test
prep company, Kaplan, does not teach such approaches. (Disclosure: Kaplan is owned by the
soon-to-be-renamed Washington Post Company, which also owns Slate.)
Kaplans director of SAT and ACT programs, Colin Gruenwald, tutors students, helps write the
companys curriculum, and trains Kaplan teachers. He says throwing around big words in an
attempt to influence essay readers is an unnecessarily risky endeavor. He insists that the scoring
model is a holistic one that focuses on the overall impression of ones writing skills. The point
is to demonstrate that you have command of the language, that you are able, in a pressure
environment, to sit down and formulate coherent and persuasive thoughts, he says. Students
need to include certain components, he notes. But thats not a trick. Thats not a gimmick.
Thats just good education.
