2 Queer Punjabis Unpack Religion, Shame, and Self-Acceptance (with Joey Algier)

2 Queer Punjabis Unpack Religion, Shame, and Self-Acceptance (with Joey Algier)

In this episode of Chai Me a River, host Shane Lamba sits down with guest Joey Algier for an honest conversation about the intersection of religion, queer identity, and cultural expectations. Together, they unpack the lasting impact of religious upbringing, navigating faith as a queer person, and the pressure to perform authenticity within family and society.

This episode explores what it means to grow up queer in religious or culturally conservative environments, how shame and belonging are shaped early on, and the ongoing journey toward self-acceptance, healing, and personal growth. Whether you’re questioning your faith, reclaiming your identity, or unlearning cultural expectations, this conversation offers vulnerability, nuance, and reflection.

Perfect for listeners interested in queer podcasts, LGBTQ+ stories, religion and sexuality, cultural heritage, and emotional growth.
