Description

How does the same married couple go from being conservative evangelical darlings to a queer couple that the church doesn't know how to handle?



When we got married, we both identified as cisgender, heterosexuals and were church leaders. We now know that one of us is non-binary (Beecher), the other is not straight (April) and we're still married, still monogamous and still Christian.



This is the story of how we went from fundamentalism to freedom and the hard road in between.

In this episode, we talk about the pandemic, attending BLM protests and how we began distancing ourselves from evangelicalism even more. As far as Beecher's gender identity, being stuck at home finally made them confront the question: "who am I?" which pushed us further down the path to acceptance.
