Sermon: “Kissing God, Transforming Gender with special guest queer theorist Kathryn Bond Stockton” from Guest Speaker

Leading queer theorist and nationally recognized author Kathryn Bond Stockton joins us to tell a strange story, with import for everyone. Why did a queer, trans-feeling, non-binary, going-to-be-gay kid need to become Evangelical for a spell so as to return to Unitarian values? Beginning with thoughts about what God is, this talk ties together words and kisses—for us all.

From Series: "GenderFluent"

As Unitarian Universalists, we proclaim that all genders are sacred and all people are worthy of love and belonging. But living that commitment requires us to learn, unlearn, and deepen our practice of true radical inclusiveness. This February, we invite you to become Gender Fluent: Curious about gender – yours and other people’s – without judgment or assumption Conversant learning new vocabulary and ways of thinking and talking about gender. No longer letting fear of missteps stop important conversations. Courageous to speak up and fight back against ideas, laws, and policies that tightly define gender or dehumanize trans and nonbinary people. Courageous to affirm your gender, whatever it is, and to embrace others.
