Status Updates From The Book of Queer Prophets:...

Not sure if prophets is really the right word but I’m loving it regardless

Already loving the intersectionality with sexism which undermines so much of this. Dick as a superpower indeed

Meh. I was excited to read but I tried the audio book and it did not hold my attention.

God is somewhere in the midst of understanding we must move in unity, and honor the individuality we each possess. The work of God is meant to be confusing and befuddling, and always driven toward a greater and freer justice for all marginalized groups

“Love is poor when kept between two people.”

This section spoke of the importance of the queer identity to find strength and love in community. And use that action to fight for the voiceless and powerless, including the environment. And how in its own way this is manifest of gods love for us all. (Not a reconciliation of faith but and active use of it).

The lamentations section does address the underpinnings of belonging and acceptance in the church; however it is not about how these individuals had to reconcile themselves to their faith to make it all fit, rather, it is about how they in many ways endure the pain of stigma for being wholly themselves, and even the pain of persecution for authenticity.
