In this episode, Jacob Tyson (@himbojedi) joins me to talk about his move from Vermont to D.C. and his departure from home at a young age after coming out to his parents. We examine the strictness of his home church environment and the emotional fallout of moving out. We cover both Jacob and Keanu's relationship to sexuality and the church. Jacob introduces the concept of "cosmic heterosexuality," which we spend time discussing, eventually leading to a review of Barthian conceptions of apocalypse. We discuss the emancipatory potential of radical queer perspectives on inclusion, family, and the church.
