Queer Theology

We Come From Fighters


Listen Later

Sometimes, it’s really empowering to look back on where we came from. With Fr. Shay’s upcoming lecture on the history of Queer theology, we wanted to dive into this a bit for this episode. It is so important for us to know our queer history, and we share our personal experiences with learning about it. How it shaped us then and how it continues to shape us now! We really want to highlight the significance of understanding the legacy and movements that queer people have been a part of throughout history. Because you are part of that, you will continue with what has been started. 

 

Takeaways

  • Knowing queer history helps situate individuals within a larger community and movement.
  • Learning about queer history provides a sense of belonging and inspiration.
  • Understanding the co-opting of queer stories by straight and cis individuals is important in recognizing the erasure and distortion of queer experiences.
  • Drawing from past activism and movements can inform current efforts for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion.
