Pride is Not a Deadly Sin

About this episode

The episode celebrates Pride Month by exploring the experiences of non-binary individuals in strict communities and the importance of affirming spaces for the LGBTQ+ community.

This week we’re celebrating Pride Month with RfRx host Kara Griffin and the RfRx Team! Kara will take us on a journey through their experience growing up as a non-binary person in a strict evangelical community characterized by black and white thinking. We'll dive into the social sciences to explore how gender and sexuality show up across diverse societies, and discuss the life-saving importance of creating safe, affirming spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we'll work on shifting the narrative from shame to pride and embrace the beauty of living authentically.
