I’m there with you. I know in my bones that Jesus would be not just at the Pride parades, but also with people needing the Trevor Project’s help. Jesus said that our judgment is based on how we treat “the least of these my [siblings].”

I’m now an M.Div candidate studying religion, gender, and sexuality to prepare myself for ordination. I want to be a loud advocate for all kinds queer people in the church (not just PCUSA) because all people are good and beloved. My most recent exploration has been studying intersex theology!

Well, I am a queer person myself and I was raised in the Presbyterian Church (USA). I spent my undergrad years studying mostly social psychology and religious studies because I’m very interested in how people come to understand themselves, and how they understand themselves as a part of communities.

Hi, Annissa! I’m glad we’re connected now :)

I’ve always got something to say. Follow along and we’ll see how Bluesky takes off together.

Our humanity begs community of us. Humans do not do well when we our isolated from one another. My beliefs in the goodness of people are rooted in my studies of human behavior — we want to be liked and cherished and loved and cared for.

I believe that we owe our community to one another because of my spirituality and personal religious commitments, but be clear that my intentions are never to push my faith onto anyone. I do not need a religion to convince me to try my best at being a good person.
