Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 158 ratings
  • Homophobia from the Pick Me Gays

    Just standard homophobia from a group of people who believe same sex relationships are sinful and disordered. They throw the majority of the LGBTQ under the bus while they clamor for acceptance from conservative Christians.

  • Thank You

    Thank you to every one of you who have shared your life and faith on this podcast. Set the negative and dismissive feedback aside. You are showing up for the church when you invite us to get to know queer believers in their own words. I have learned so much by listening. Keep bearing witness! I gave four stars for only one reason- the sound quality needs some love! I listen regardless, because I love hearing your stories. But I worry that some will move on because the sound quality can be really... more

  • One of my favorites!!!

    I am a straight CIS female follower of Jesus, which means that this podcast is not directed to me. Nevertheless, I am thrilled to be part of the audience—I have learned so much and feel better equipped to love my LGBTQ+ siblings. I have a better vocabulary, am aware of pitfalls to avoid, and see ways that we are not all that different.

    I highly recommend this to all.
