What's it like to be Catholic, Vietnamese-American, and LGBTQ? Religion and queer identity. QPOD - queer journeys podcast
-
- Education
I’m excited to be having Jennifer on the show today, and we’ll be talking about what her experience is like being Catholic, Asian (specifically Vietnamese-American), and a gay woman.
We’ll be talking about topics like:
- How is it being a youth leader in the Catholic community while being LGBTQ+?
- How did you first know that you were queer? What were your crushes like?
- Was it difficult coming out through sharing a Youtube video on Facebook to your friends and family?
- What is it like living and growing up in Minnesota without many other Asian or LGBT people around?
- What have been some of the best parts after having come out?
- Has it been difficult to navigate your identity of being queer while out in the church?
- Do you have any advice for people who are queer and religious?
- What are some resources you might suggest people look into? E.g., The Trevor Project
- Finding a queer-friendly therapist as a young person
- Navigating parental expectations as an Asian-American and child of immigrants
- How can you meet other queer Asian women to find support and community? Shoutout to Subtle Asian Sapphic Squad (SASS) on Facebook!
