It’s Our Turn: Queers In Cults

About It’s Our Turn: Queers In Cults

“It’s Our Turn” is a show where the hosts, Emerson and Aydan, share their stories growing up as queer people in toxic religious environments. Our hope is that it will provide education, validation, and maybe even a laugh or two for those healing from religious trauma. The more people know about how these systems affect people the better off we will all be. Now, you will hear no “religion bashing” here. Just sincere, heartfelt (and sometimes mildly irreverent) stories about how we navigated the world of religion, our own journey of healing, and what we’ve learned along the way.

   Episode 55: Aydan and Jeff - It's Not Just Religion

   Jeff is the guest this week and he shares his experience growing up under similar conditions as I have described at times, but for reasons that are quite different than mine. As we have discussed on this podcast before, it is not exclusively religion that can be toxic or used to hurt people. It is the intention and the tools that are used inappropriately against people.
