We explore the story of Isabel Fall, the backlash against her short story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter,” and the unintended harm done by Twitter mobs.

37. Unpacking “Helicopter Story” & Queer Theory

This is a talk show by progressive Christians for… well, we don’t care who listens. We want to bring up conversations that we know are happening in a lot of Christian communities and bring them to the forefront, with some levity and our tongues planted firmly in cheek. We know there are a lot of people of faith who support equal rights for everyone, who know that love is love, who believe that #BlackLivesMatter, who want to engage with faith in a different way than their parents did, and who want to replace the Christian patriarchy with a new cult of the sacred feminine led by Ian McKellen — and we want to give those communities a platform.

We’re here. We’re tolerant. Get used to it… until we get canceled.
