COMMUNITY BUILDING
-
celebrate
Celebrate the beauty of queer religious experiences. Build and strengthen pride in religious queers.
-
connect
Connect religious queers to spaces and communities where they can find belonging. Support conversations about building their own spaces.
-
dream
Religious queers are able to dream futures for themselves and their community that had previously felt far-fetched.
resources needed
Financial support so that we can offer free screenings to religious and predominantly QTBIPOC community spaces
Contributions to the Queer’s Guide Zine
Access to printing services for take home resources
Partnerships with community groups similar to Queer Muslim Network, both to share the film with, and to direct donations and interested audience members to
changing minds & changing behaviour
-
reveal
Reveal the complex experiences of religious queers to non-religious queers to build empathy and understanding.
-
Inform
Inform non-religious queers on how they can make more space for religious queers at events and within queer spaces (ie. guidelines for accessibility, education around Islamophobia, antisemitism, and other forms of religious discrimination)
-
solidarity
Non-religious queers hold less hostility towards religious queers, and instead work in solidarity with them towards a more vibrant and inclusive community.
resources needed
Queer spaces and organisations with access to non-religious queer audiences, especially for cis white 40+ demographics
Resources and organisations that offer training around religious discrimination
Financing to pay facilitators and panelists with lived experience to teach on these issues
