“gay people are going to hell?” what it’s like to be Christian and queer

Описание: Bridget Eileen Rivera writes and speaks on issues touching faith, sexuality, and justice. She has served as a committee member for Revoice and worked with other faith-based organizations such as Christians for Social Action and the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender. After graduating summa cum laude with a degree in journalism from Patrick Henry College in 2012, having received an award for her writing from the New York Press Association, Bridget joined Teach For America and taught for 5 years in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She spent another few years working at a prison diversion program before starting her Ph.D. in sociology at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Bridget’s first book, Heavy Burdens: 7 Ways LGBTQ Christians Experience Harm in the Church (Brazos Press, fall 2021), unpacks the legacy of discrimination against LGBTQ people in Christianity.
