Episode #042 Exploring Queer Spirituality with Jerry Buie, LCSW

When someone “comes out” in their sexual/gender orientation one of the first questions is “what does that mean for their relationship with God?” This question is based on the social assumptions of them leaving a religious belief and needing to “gain” a spirituality somewhere else. What if an individual who identifies as “queer” has all the spirituality in themselves? What if this is the case for all of us?

Braxton speaks with Jerry Buie, LCSW about queer spirituality. Jerry gives a history of how queer individuals have been revered in different cultures and indigenous peoples. He explores the way we look and experience “spirituality” in our interactions with others especially if you are, or know someone who identifies as queer. 

In a world where all of us live in a society that has a dominant religious belief, there is room for exploring what spirituality means, how to explore your own spirituality and how to be supportive and connected to your yourself, your child or your grandchild who identifies as queer.
