Where Is My Home: A Queer Youth Journey Into—or Out of—Faith

What is it like to be both queer and a person of faith? What does faith mean to someone who has left the church behind? And how does it feel to those who are just beginning their spiritual path?

Join us for an open discussion for queer youth aged 13–30, where we’ll hear authentic stories from people who live with faith, question it, have left it behind—or are searching anew.

Together, we’ll create a safe space for sharing across religions—Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and other spiritual paths. You’re welcome whether you have personal experience with religion or just want to ask questions or listen. Come talk, share—or simply sit in and listen. You may find you’re not alone.
