What do teens do when they realize they might be queer (LGBTQ+) and are also part of a faith community? There's a general belief that you can't be both: That embracing a queer identity means rejecting religion, and vice versa. While this is a myth--many queer persons are deeply religious--the expectations and the experiences of queer youth in Christian contexts is most commonly one of rejection. How do queer youth navigate this? In this episode we share research on the experiences of queer youth as they explore whether they can integrate their queer and religious identities. We discover some expected and also some surprising and hopeful responses.
