Except for a couple of essays, this is about Christian authors reflecting on their views of their faith with their queerness, Wish there was more diversity in religions presented but overall it was nice to hear how people have come and gone and some come back to faith even though they were told queer is sin. Some even became higher-ups in the church. All learned to see god in a way that honored themselves versus damnation. I listened to the audiobook with multiple feminine and masculine voices reading each essay. Pairing different voices one after another, I could settle into each essay with a new one from the last so it wasn't confusing as it transitioned from essay to essay. Overall it was interesting seeing personal reflections on religion that damned could be a religion that loved.

So, so good. While I didn't resonate with every essay, many had me smiling with joy and others crying in righteous bitterness. I love queer people. I love religious people.
