I'm Gay But I Know Jesus

Hey, I’m Melody. Gay, Christian, and somehow still on speaking terms with Jesus. I came out at 15, and the church totally freaked out. Then I slept with a woman, had a chat with God, and it turns out He’s totally cool with it.

Part stand-up, part confession, part chaotic prayer. This is my messy, funny, and honest story of making peace between who I am and what I believe, in a world that insists they don’t mix.

Presented by: Melody Rachel

Hello! I’m Melody, and I’m a creator. I make autobiographical, movement-based solo performances that dive into identity, human nature, and the anxious thought patterns that spin me out of control. I also have a YouTube channel where I explore what it’s like to be gay and Christian, and a podcast where I speak with public intellectuals who challenge mainstream thinking and flip perspectives.
