The Queer Interfaith Coalition: Faith-based love and acceptance of 2SLGBTQIA+ folx

An interview with Rabbi Naj and Pam Rocker

In this episode I speak with Rabbi Naj and Pam Rocker. Rabbi Naj is a second-generation Holocaust survivor, a rabbi, as well as a board certified interfaith chaplain and registered social worker and trained mediator. Pam Rocker is an atypical activist, consultant, and writer. From Pride to politics, she advocates for the full inclusion of 2SLGBTQ+ people in every area of society.

The three of us talk about the Queer Interfaith Coalition and the ways it is reclaiming the religious voice from those who have sought to weaponize faith against 2SLGBTQIA+ folks.

Queer & A
Religiously-grounded homophobia is on the rise, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people deserve more love and support. In the Queer & A podcast, I interview experts about queerness and religious homophobia.
