Description
With the first two episodes under our belt, Host Amanda Henderson and Iliff graduate student Lex Dunbar dig into the key takeaways they hope our listeners come away with after the first two episodes: 1) The idea that there are clear god-ordained, universal religious teachings about gender, sexuality, and marriage as we know them today is a myth. 2) Regulation of bodies, sexuality, and marriage relationships has been a part of the business of the State since the founding of the U.S. and before. With these two realities in mind, how are we to understand and navigate the deeper questions tied to gender, sexuality, and marriage?

Brandan Robertson, Religion, Politics & LGBTQ Youth: In the 2022 state legislative sessions across the U.S., 240 bills were introduced that would restrict rights and equality for LGBTQ people. A high number of these bills specifically targeted trans youth. In this episode, we talk with Brandan Robertson to learn about his own experiences growing up in Evangelical Fundamentalist Christianity. Brandon shares his own hatefulness to his LGBTQ peers, to the love and care he experienced in the church– and his own coming-out story and the rejection that followed. by Complexified
