Description

Cameron Esposito is a Los Angeles-based standup comic, actor, and writer. She’s the host of the Queery podcast, which features interviews with LGBTQ luminaries.  Recently, Cameron released her first book, Save Yourself, a memoir that addresses sexuality, gender, and equality. It describes how her Catholic upbringing prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian.   Also, Cameron is the co-creator and co-star of the TV series, Take My Wife. Her recent comedy special, Rape Jokes, raised nearly $100,000 for RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization.  All systems have hypocrisy and flaws. Nobody is perfect. Comedy can be a relief.  Cameron is endlessly curious about other people’s past and present experiences. What will happen next? Topics Discussed: Her Catholic upbringing Gender equality and queer theory Social justice, support, and safe places Liberation theology What was missing in the Catholic message she was taught Fear of abandonment The connection between being a comic and a priest   The importance of having accountability in communities   Links and Resources:  Cameron Esposito Queery with Cameron Esposito Save Yourself Take My Wife Rape Jokes RAINN Spotlight Matthias Roberts on Patreon
