Revolution Not Reformation: Why Christian Faith Needs to Reclaim Queerness

REV. BRANDAN ROBERTSON

Author, Activist, and Public Theologian known as the “TikTok Pastor”

Drawing from Rev. Robertson’s book Queer and Christian, this talk will explore why queerness isn’t just something to be tolerated within Christianity—it is a sacred and necessary part of our faith’s future. Rooted in queer theology, we will dismantle exclusionary interpretations of scripture and reclaim the radical message of Jesus: that God’s table is expansive, affirming, and centered on those historically pushed to the margins. Queerness is not an obstacle to faith, but an invitation into deeper truth, authenticity, and liberation. This is a call to move beyond mere inclusion toward a bold reimagining of Christian faith as inherently queer, revolutionary, and transformative.

The CTS Talks presentation will be followed by a reception for those in attendance.
