Common Hour: Queering God Towards a Celebratory Theology

Queering God Towards a Celebratory Theolog

So much of our conversation around sexuality and gender identity centers around combating the "clobber verses" in the Bible that are tossed around to invalidate any identity outside cisgender and heterosexual norms. What happens if we flip the script and begin looking at Scripture with an eye not towards how the Bible might condemn queerness, but how it might uphold and celebrate it?"
