Maybe people who embrace obesity as their identity really are oppressed. We dedicate an entire month to celebrating pride and disordered lust. Why not gluttony? After all, it too is among the Seven Deadly Sins.

Fat Church strives to correct the disparity:

Fatness is not a sin. Nor is it a failing of willpower or a moral evil.

Fatness is simply a much-maligned, naturally-occurring body type that’s scapegoated in a society that values thin, white, and abled bodies over all others.

Oppression tends to be intersectional. Here, it is inflicted by those who are not only nonobese but also white and nondisabled.

Fat Church is a movement inviting Christians to examine their own biases against fatness, hold them to the light of the gospel of God’s freedom and abundance, and imagine a society where all bodies are liberated from anti-fat oppression.

The intersectionality goes further:

If you are a person of faith and want to know how anti-fatness fits in with the other oppressions in our society (racism, white supremacy, homophobia, patriarchy), come on in.

The list of vices and unsavory eccentricities presented as Christian continues to expand. We already had the following:

• Drag queen exhibitionism
• Furry fandom
• Homosexuality
• More homosexuality
• Nudism
• Polyamory
• Recreational drug use
• Sadomasochism
• Sex toys
• Still more homosexuality
• Swinger debauchery
• Transvestitism
• Veganism
• Witchcraft
