12. Queer Religion: Can You Be LGBTQ+ and Christian? (w/ Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons)

2 Servings of Fruit

This week, we're tackling a big topic: Christianity! We talk about our own experiences with, or without, religion in our lives and how we feel about it today. We also explore the possibility of being LGBTQ+ identifying AND Christian. This week we're also joined by self-proclaimed gay progressive Christian, Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons. Guthrie is here to chat about his experience identifying as both Christian and Queer, as well as the direction Christianity is going and what that means for LGBTQ+ people. We also chat about the American Republican Party and their recent attacks on Trans Youth (in sports especially) in the name of “fairness” and religion. *Technical Note: this was our first attempt at a 2 mic setup and was actually recorded prior to episodes 10 and 11, so forgive us if anything sounds off this week!* BUY GUTHRIE'S NEW BOOK HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Just-Faith-Reclaiming-Progressive-Christianity/dp/1506462529 CONNECT W/ GUTHRIE: https://www.instagram.com/GuthrieGF/ https://twitter.com/guthriegf/ CONNECT W/ US: https://instagram.com/2servingspod EMAIL US: [e-mail] DAUNTE WRIGHT SR.
