“My Pastor Called Me In” | Jamie & Joey Share Raw Coming Out Journeys
In this deeply personal Pride Month special of Raised Red, Living Blue, hosts sit down with longtime friends Jamie Miller and Joey Morris for a powerful conversation about growing up queer in the South — and everything that comes with it.
From church trauma and being outed by a flip phone text — to riding in rain-filled convertibles at the Pride parade — Jamie and Joey bring humor, heartbreak, and hope to the mic.
This episode unpacks how family, faith, real estate, and community activism intersect when you're queer in a red state. And it gets real — fast.
🎧 Highlights include:
— Coming out in Southern Baptist churches
— Being confronted by pastors and pulled into private meetings
— Fair housing and LGBTQ+ advocacy in Alabama
— Navigating family rejection and hard-won acceptance
— Finding spiritual healing and safe spaces in adulthood
— Joy, community, and the microaggressions we don’t always talk about
— Why being visible still matters
Whether you’re queer in the South, an ally, or just want to better understand the lived experience of LGBTQ+ folks outside the city bubble — this one will stay with you.
