Ep 17: LGBTQ+ Spirituality and Religion

In this interview with LGBTQ+ human rights activist Jason Jones, we explore how internal strife is reflective of external strife and how queerness was subjugated by white colonists in the name of God. This beautiful conversation is about how many spiritual practices are reflective of the same thing and how the LGBTQ+ community finds our humanity.
