Description

Stories shape belief. Belief shapes culture. Culture shapes people’s lives.

This panel explores how faith, sexuality, and identity narratives influence LGBTQIA+ rights and can be reclaimed. Drawing from 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, Sharon “Rocky” Roggio and Josie Peres convene Rev. Jide Macaulay and Alexander Noordijk to examine who shapes these narratives, their impact, and what becomes possible when challenged toward dignity, inclusion, and human rights for activists, faith leaders, and communities worldwide.
