Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity in Theology and Beyond (Part 1)

In our fourth episode of the No Hate Radio, host Don Windle talks with social worker Erica George, and Rev. David Franks a minister of pastoral support. In this first installment of a multi-part discussion, both share their personal journeys and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community, the challenges faced due to their sexual orientation and gender identity, and their perspectives on advocacy, authenticity, self-acceptance, courage, and the importance of empathy and understanding across diverse communities. The discussions delve into the intersectionality of social identities, the impact of historical and societal attitudes on LGBTQ+ individuals, and the ongoing efforts towards inclusivity and acceptance within religious and broader societal contexts.

While we often name the injustices we see, the guiding principle of NO HATE RADIO is embodied in its name: hate is unequivocally excluded from the platform in any form. This rule underscores Don's dedication to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all discussions and interactions on the show. We will not perpetuate hate.
