On this week's episode of Town Hall: A Black Queer Podcast, Bob the Drag Queen and Miss Peppermint explore the topic of religion and spirituality. Gareth “Gaz” Dutlow (@gazdutlow) shares how they lost their community after standing proud in their sexuality, and Sage (@kingfemme) discusses their unique experience of growing up Jewish Orthodox and how they've brought their Jewish identity into their adult life. Dr. Jonathan Higgins (@doctorjonpaul), a Professor who examines the intersections of identity, gender and race in culture and entertainment, describes the eerie overlap between religion and pollitics, and we hear from psychic and medium, Aja Daashuur (@spirithousecollective), who believes that Black, Queer People are inherently people of magic.
