Queer Stories of Faith

Queer Stories of Faith is a unique multi-faith event that showcases the stories of the LGBT faithful through storytelling and music.

Our Speakers

For the first time in PrideWA history (at least in a very long time!) there will be a multi-faith event where we will have stories highlighting the lives of LGBT and ally Christians, Jews, and Muslims!

This event will be showcasing a diverse group of speakers from the LGBTIQA+ community. Our speakers come from a variety of backgrounds including age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic backgrounds, professions, and lived experience in both the metropolitan and regional communities.

Come be a part of this uplifting celebration of diversity, inclusion, and the power of faith in the face of adversity.

Live Music:

There will be live music performances featuring Perth Kabbalat Shabbat, Marya Budianta, and Graeme Douglas-Meyer.

Note:

• We intend for this event to be a safe and nourishing for LGBTIQA+ people of faith, as well as their supporters and allies. As a condition of entry, we require all participants to help make this event a sanctuary for LGBTIQA+ people.

• No homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, or any kind of bigoted and abusive language detrimental to LGBTIQA+ people will be tolerated.
• Our event is a safe space and antisocial behaviour, whether it be physical, verbal, or digital is grounds for instant expulsion and a lifetime ban at our events.
• As many of our religious as well as secular spaces remain unsafe places for LGBTIQA+ people of faith to speak freely, as part of the condition of entry, we ask that Chatham House Rules be observed.
• No photography or filming will be allowed at this event, unless expressed written consent is obtained from the organisers.
