“Being Queer but not Sexual: Pride Service”, UCE Youth, June 14, 2020 - a podcast by Unitarian Church of Edmonton (UCE)

Moving away from the idea of over-sexualized pride events, and tying to the idea being in Covid isolated. Our theme “Being Queer But Not Sexual” is not discussed nearly as much as it should be. By this, we don’t just mean asexual or aromantic, but also those folks who are choosing celibacy (either as a short- or long-term thing) even if they are interested in relationships. #UU #YEG

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community. We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
