Episode 16 : In the Pews and out of the Closet

This podcast was produced by Matt B.

Get ready for a spiritual rollercoaster in this week’s episode of Bi Queeriosity. Dee, a one-time aspiring nun and Ell a former atheist, share their personal, transformative journeys as queer Christians, inviting you to join their laughter-filled, reflective discussions. As part of the Societe Noir’s community, they create safe spaces for female and non-binary POC individuals.

Dive into thought-provoking conversations about the complexities of navigating queerness within Pentecostal circles. Discover the power of community and the challenges faced when ostracised for one's sexuality. Explore contradictions within religious teachings and the struggle against internalised heterosexism. Learn to embrace the intersection of faith and identity with love and acceptance.

Listen as they celebrate diverse expressions of faith, like the black male-presenting pastor leading a queer church and making waves at Pride. Delve into the life-changing experiences that occur when people are encouraged to embrace their full identities. Find inspiration to appreciate and love yourself as a perfect creation.
