My Queer Faith
Mission: To inspire hope, restoration, and unity between LGBTQIA+ folks and faith communities.
"My Queer Faith" was birthed out of three core desires:
- To highlight and introduce the LGBTQIA+ community to existing Open & Affirming faith-based safe spaces.
- To emphasize the need for and value of Open & Affirming faith communities to the LGBTQIA+ community.
- To provide Kimayo a way to connect with Open & Affirming faith communities as she continues her own faith journey.
"As long as the popular perception is that churches are homophobic, intolerant communities, we need to be very overt and intentional about embracing our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters."
-Pastor Michael Graham, Gilford Community Church
My Queer Faith Reactions
“Kimayo's story and music will certainly resonate with faith communities. We clergy see the struggle and rejection that our LBGTQ members endure; Kimayo is a welcome addition to those who need affirmation, and those who are friends and family.” - Cantor Wendy Shermet - My Queer Faith Tour, Attendee
“Kimayo's honesty and openness to share her story has an immeasurable value. It is essential that stories like hers are heard and validated.” - Chris Schubert - My Queer Faith Tour, Attendee
