Coming to terms with religion, acceptance, and sexuality is a difficult task that many of face or have faced.

Matthew recounts his first relationships in the closet while attending SPU, a Christian University in Seattle.Over the years, you may have seen Seattle Pacific University mentioned in news publications for its discriminatory policies. Namely, refusing an adjunct professor a full-time position by citing his sexuality in 2021. In this episode we explore the homoerotic nature of hyper-religious academic institutions, and the impact their policies have on students.Stories cited from: https://www.thestranger.com/features/2011/03/30/7435772/the-secret-sex-lives-of-spu-students**Make sure to rate our podcast and leave us a review, it really helps us out in reaching the right people!

CW: mentions of suicide ideation, sexual abuse, mental health strugglesIn this week's episode, Matthew describes the highs and lows of growing up in the closet in a conservative-leaning, religious environment. He explores his first encounters with same-sex relationships, the impact that YoungLife had on his adolescence, and how his outlook changed through YouTube.I came out as gay through posting a video on YouTube. Doing so completely changed my life, but not before many experiences shaped who I am today. I hope this story instills hope, that there's life after homophobia, and that love in the world far outweighs bigotry.**Make sure to rate our podcast and leave us a review, it really helps us out in reaching the right people!
