Season Two Trailer: Queer Histories and Futures

Queer Devotions is back for Season Two. 

I’m Brigitte Pawliw-Fry, your host and a Rainbow Faith and Freedom researcher focused on where faith-based homophobia and transphobia manifest in Canada. Queer Devotions seeks to uncover those stories in new ways, help us conceptualize queerness and spirituality as places of transformative justice and point to activists, scholars and community members doing this work. 

Part of season two is looking back, exploring our most popular episodes and also bringing you new ones, including my interview with MPP Dr. Jill Andrew, the first Black and Queer person first elected to the Ontario Legislature and reportedly in Canada, who has fought tirelessly for LGBTQ2S+ and progressive issues in Ontario. 

We’ll also hear from Carmen Del Rae, the drag queen who performed with us for Faith in Crisis, about her experience in the divinity of drag. 

We’re also looking forward to a special series this spring, 25 Years of Queer Activism partnering Out of the Closet lecture series to bring you oral histories with queer seniors, which has been generously funded by the Michael Lynch History Grant from the University of Toronto 

Make sure to subscribe to Queer Devotions wherever you get your podcast and look for new podcasts every Tuesday.
