Patrick Flores: "I tried all three vocational options"

'Queer I Am, Lord' is an interview-based show hosted by openly gay Catholic Xorje Olivares of HeyXorje.com. 

Xorje speaks to fellow queer Christians about their spiritual journeys and ties to the religion, their attitudes towards the Church and its exclusionary policies, and their desires to either reform the institution from within or walk away once and for all. Because Lord knows it's not easy to be an LGBTQ person of faith today. But as Christian tradition teaches us: when two or more are gathered in God's name, God is present.
