SUMMARY:Holy Ground: Queer Faith Expression in Washington\, DC
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that on March 22\, 1965\, DC hosted one of the first discussions surrounding LGBTQ+ religious identity\, belonging\, and community? Franklin E. Kameny organized a meeting between members of the Mattachine Society and 11 clergymen from Protestant\, Catholic\, and Jewish communities around the Capital. This pivotal conversation\, held at American University\, marked a critical moment in the history of LGBTQ+ religious history and the history of LGBTQ+ individuals of faith affirming communities in Washington\, DC. On June 26th\, join public historian Emma Cieslik online for a discussion exploring DC’s queer faith histories. Beginning in the 1960s\, this session will cover religious activism and ministry during the HIV/AIDS epidemic\, the creation of LGBTQ+-founded and led religious communities\, and present forms of religious protest led by queer folx championing LGBTQ+ rights. \nSign up here!\n  \n \nEmma Cieslik (she/her) is a queer\, neurodivergent public historian\, religious scholar\, and museum worker based in the Washington\, DC area. She is passionate about collecting LGBTQ+ histories\, specifically the history of religious liberation alongside religious harm in the nation’s capital. She currently serves as historian for Center Faith’s Pride Interfaith Service\, and last Pride\, published a digital exhibit on DC’s LGBTQ+ Religious History for the Rainbow History Project. In anticipation of Pride this year\, she wrote a series on DC’s LGBTQ+ History for the Washington Blade\, from the Washington Area Council on Religion and the Homosexual to Gay Pride Week to the DC Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the Lavender Mass.  \n
