The oldest Catholic university in the nation employs queer professors who openly subvert Catholic prayers and teach courses on pornography and gender theory, leaving some students furious over the “ridicule” and “betrayal.”
Amanda Phillips, a self-described “butch/transmasculine, Latinx” individual who goes by “they/he/she” pronouns, teaches several courses at Georgetown University revolving around gender, privilege, and even pornography. Meanwhile, adjunct lecturer Casey Catherine Moore posted a video of her “Bipolar Lady’s Prayer,” which changes the words from the Lord’s prayer to read “give us this day our daily drugs.”
Georgetown University is the nation’s oldest Catholic university.
In a class scheduled for fall 2026, Phillips plans to teach students about “the changing aesthetics, production, and distribution of pornography,” including how “the social and political conflicts that attend pornography … have been used to control marginalized populations including women, queer and trans folks, and people of color,” according to the course’s description on Georgetown’s website.
Phillips’ other courses include “Gaming & Justice,” which teaches “strategies of resistance to the often problematic content and practices of the video game industry,” and “Queer Pixelation, Trans Coding,” which examines “queer and trans embodiments, representations, and productions in computational and digital media” and “is grounded in queer of color and trans of color critique and approaches these topics from an explicitly anti-racist position.”
