Brandan Robertson is a young progressive Christian pastor who has built a national reputation as an articulate leader for LGBTQ inclusion.
And for Rev. Robertson it is a personal effort, because he is gay.
In a time when LGBTQ rights are under attack as they haven’t been for decades, Robertson’s nessage of inclusivity is finding a receptive audience on social media. On Tik Tok alone he has over a quarter million followers.
But his outreach is not limited to those in the community. Robertson also speaks to allies, those perhaps with a family member who’s queer, or those who feel uneasy about their own church’s teachings.
And he has just written a book, being published this week, called Queer And Christian. In it, Rev. Robertson seeks not just to reinterpret scripture, but to offer Solace and support to those in the LGTBQ community.
So here now, about to embark on an author tour, Rev. Brandan Robertson.
Brandan Robertson is turning 33 this summer. He serves as pastor of Sunnyside Reformed Church in Queens, New York.
