Queer-Friendly Approaches to Religion

Daniel Williams, Karen Thompson, Ramish Nadeem, Sheri Allen

Far too often, religious faith is used as a justification for homophobia. From the hatred espoused by members of the Westboro Baptist Church to individual families’ intolerance of their own LGBTQ+ children, homophobic approaches to faith and spirituality have brought violence against queer and trans people for centuries. It doesn’t have to be that way. This panel of faith leaders from various religious backgrounds will address and dispel common religious justifications for homophobia, uplift affirming approaches to theology, and discuss how to create a queer-inclusive community within your faith environment.
