Queer Theology

"We are queer and trans people of faith, creating the theology of our liberation."

Brian and Fr. Shay met in New York in one of those friend of a friend serendipitious moments. Through a couple years of Skype conversations, text messaging, and personal activism they realized that they could do a lot more if they worked together! Both have been changed and strengthened by their queer identities and wanted to share that strength with others. They started queertheology.com in 2013.

Together, they’ve started and broken open conversations around

Purity culture Sex-positivity Queer bodies Transgender theology The interplay between Queer activism and faith-based activism Christianity & Polyamory and more!

Their message has reached over 1,000,000 people in over 200 countries through their website, podcast, and videos. More than that, it’s inspired a new way to talk about gender, sexuality, and justice by others such as the #FaithfullyLGBT conversation, the Queerology podcast, Queerly Beloved tees, the Our Bible App, and more. They have forever changed the public discourse around queerness and Christianity.

Fr. Shay, Brian, and QueerTheology.com have been featured in Vice, Red Letter Christians, Queerty, Buzzfeed, Upworthy, The Advocate, Believe Out Lous, and The Bilerico Project.

At Queer Theology we’ve developed a ton of resources over the years. On this page we’ve got them organized by topic so you can find exactly what you’re looking for exactly when you need it. From asking if it’s okay to be LGBTQ to navigating sex and relationships to finding a church.
