What does it really mean to be Queer and Christian? – Brandan Robertson

Today the word "Christian" is polarizing. In fact for many it conjures up words like hate, nationalism, evil, fear. WOW...it should not. Then couple that word with Queer, and you might as well be burned at the stake! Let's not do that. Instead, let's invite Queer Christians to the table to embrace their love of goad and faith, and invite others who do not believe you deserve a place at the table, to have human conversations to change that hate, to love. Repeat podcast guest, Rev. Brandan Robertson joins us today to share his new book Queer and Christian: Reclaiming The Bible, Faith, Our Faith, and Our place At The Table - a joyful celebration of queer faith. In this episode:
  • Discover calm, peaceful, empathetic conversations with the extreme Christians are necessary
  • Learn why coming to church is an act of community and activism
  • Uncover the right questions to ask to reclaim your faith in yourself and your community

About The Book Celebrate queer faith and take your rightful place at God’s table with Brandan Robertson, the “TikTok Pastor,” Biblical scholar, and social activist For too long, the Bible has been weaponized to exclude LGBTQ+ individuals, despite Jesus’ radical message of inclusion. In Queer & Christian, Brandan Robertson envisions a faith where all are unequivocally embraced. Ostracized at school, Brandan thought he had finally found his community when he joined the local church. But he soon realized that they were as intolerant as his peers at school had been—if not more so. After agonizing years of repressing his true identity, he discovered that God’s table had always had a place for him. Jesus’ love knows no bounds, embracing everyone unconditionally. Queer & Christian is a joyful celebration of queer faith and an unyielding reclamation of the Bible.

263: Legrand Wolf – Why Normalizing Gay Porn and Gay Fantasies Is Good For The World

263: Legrand Wolf – Why Normalizing Gay Porn and Gay Fantasies Is Good For The World

From Mormon Missionary to Med Student to Porn Start Empire Owner, Legrand Wolf believes that the more we normalize the world of porn and adult entertainment and all if it's fantasies and fetishes, the more we help the planet be more accepting of the LGBTQ+ individuals. Listen to this captivating conversation and even if you are not a fan of porn, you're sure to gain wisdom from the insights that Legrand shares. It's time to stop shaming sex, sex workers, and the adult entertainment industry. About Legrand Legrand Wolf grew up Mormon, was an Eagle Scout, and a Mormon missionary in Ukraine for 2 years. His undergrad was at BYU, and he went to medical school at the University of Utah. It was at that time that he came out as gay, met the love of his life, and left the Mormon church. Along the way he decided to change career paths and started his own company. One entrepreneurial venture led to another, and soon he and his husband were launching a new gay adult site called Mormonboyz. Almost 20 years later, with considerable experience in the adult entertainment industry, Legrand Wolf is reshaping the landscape of adult content. Legrand has received over 53 industry awards for his company, his websites, his studio brands, his productions, and even personally, this year winning Performer of the Year and Favorite Daddy. Legrand is the mastermind behind Carnal Media, the largest gay-owned and gay-run gay porn streaming service. His visionary leadership led to the creation of three revolutionary networks: CarnalPlus.com, BareBackPlus.com, and FTMPlus.com, making Carnal Media a cornerstone of the gay porn industry. FTMPlus.com stands as the world's only FTM trans adult network, setting new standards for inclusivity and diversity.
