Liberating the Gay Spirit: Overcoming Condemnation, Self-Hatred and Discrimination
The Pill on Blog Talk Radio originally aired on 12/08/09
For many, religion and church are a great source of comfort and solace. The implied or overt messages of rejection, sin and damnation do not necessarily make it a welcome option for the GLBQT Community. How does one reconcile the mixed messages of "God loves everybody" and "you are an abomination to the Lord"? What does the Bible really say about being homosexual? If you are gay, how do you effectively manage the challenges of self-loathing, condemnation and a feeling of separation from mainstream society and (perhaps even) God? What are the core beliefs that are at the foundation of homophobia and how do we heal them? If you are heterosexual, how do you manage your own prejudice, beliefs and discomfort to bridge the divide? Independent filmmaker Ky Dickens, Director and Executive Producer of Fish Out of Water and Rev. Mark Anthony Lord, Founder/Director of the Bodhi Spiritual Center in Chicago, and author of The Seven Living Words – An Illuminated Perspective on the Seven Last Words of Jesus and creator of LIBERATION 2010 join Mark Ward and AJ Lambert.
