The Queer Erotic: Audre Lorde, Essex Hemphill, and the Song of Songs with Rev. Rodney McKenzie, Jr.

The Queer Erotic: Audre Lorde, Essex Hemphill, and the Song of Songs with Rev. Rodney McKenzie, Jr. The book of Genesis describes that in the beginning the world was dark and void of form. Then, according to the scriptures, God spoke and the world began to form. These first few lines describe creation at it’s best. Worlds are created when we speak. For LGBTQ people of color, our finding the words that describe our lives, our ability to tell our stories, coming out as LGBTQ people, coming out as People of Color, is our Genesis moment. We create new worlds by speaking ourselves into existence. This is our work. This is what we have to do. This is Black Queer Love in Action. - Rev. Rodney McKenzie, Jr. Join us for The Queer Erotic on Saturday June 25, 2016 at 10 am as Rev. McKenzie walks us through the intersection of race, class and sexuality through the works of Audre Lorde, Essex Hemphill and the Song of Songs. Come and witness the construction of a challenging liberation theology that births a new theopolitic. More at www.blackqueerlove.org
