Blaming Bonnie Blue - Sex, Spectacle & $elf

In August 2025, the essay “Blaming Bonnie Blue” appeared in The Vestry, offering a candid meditation on the pressures and paradoxes at the intersection of sex, money, and spectacle. Written by Rev Jonathan in response to a widely discussed documentary, the piece refracts public outrage through a problem Church of Burn has long identified: the entanglement of sex and money, and the confusion this creates around agency, value, and shame.

The essay asks how liberation might be pursued within a moral framework, without resorting either to condemnation or to moral collapse. Blaming Bonnie Blue is available to read in full in The Vestry.
