July 03, 2024 God's Pronouns
The Episcopal Church (Church of England) has recently put forth a statement and it regards the pronouns of the Almighty. In this episode we will look at how this is just a part of God's ever changing self. Whether it be their pronouns, or physicality, Yahweh in always evolving to meet humanity where it is.

June 19, 2024 Slurs
It is our Pride 2024 Special! We will be covering a few English language slurs that are used to cut down LGBQTIA+ folks. The history of these terms is interesting as well as how some of these hateful turns are having a renewal as terms that empower rather than denigrate.

Interrogating the Use of LGBTQ Slurs: Still Smearing the Queer? by Meredith G. F. Worthen is a great resource on these issues.

April 10, 2024 Ruth and Naomi
This is the episode that may be the biggest stretch when it comes to seeing a potential queer reading of a Biblical story, but nonetheless, the tale of love and the bond between the two women, Naomi and Ruth, captures the imaginations of all people. Wedding vows for centuries include lines of dialogue between the two women. Is it really inconceivable that the pair might be more than just two women surviving tragedy? Well, listen to find out more!

April 03, 2024 David and Jonathan
This is the first in a series that I have dubbed Take Me To Church! We will be looking at the super bromance between Prince Jonathan and the future King David. Yup he had a lot of wives, but David also had his eyes on the guys!

March 27, 2024 The Picture of Dorian Gray
In our last episode in the mini-series, Reading is FUNdamental, we are looking at Oscar Wilde's novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. This gothic tale of narcisissim gone mad is just as relevant in the 21st century as it was when it was published in the 19th. It is funny, scary, and most of all, queer as hell!

March 20, 2024 Giovanni's Room
This novel by James Baldwin was published and started all sorts of controversy. It was, after all, the 1950s, so queer themes were scandalizing. Don't look for a happy ending in this one.

Here is a link to a piece I used as a reference in the Guardian. My other source is of course, the work itself! Go to your local library and take a gander at this lovely book.
