Sunday Platform with Curt Collier: How to be Gay (Even if You’re Not a Homosexual)
Free in-person and online!
At a time when many people still struggle to live openly and authentically, “How to Be Gay: Even If You Are Not a Homosexual” explores a deeper and more universal question: what can all of us learn from those who have had to fight simply for the right to exist as themselves?
Drawing from the writings, reflections, and lived experiences of gay thinkers, activists, and ordinary people, this talk examines how the struggle for self-acceptance often produces profound insights into courage, identity, dignity, community, and freedom. More than a talk about sexuality, this is a conversation about becoming fully human — about resisting shame, rejecting conformity, standing up for the humanity of others, and discovering what becomes possible when people refuse to hide who they are.
Community lunch follows, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program.
