Straightened Up: Healing, Queens, and Compassion Beyond Ritual

In Luke 13:10–17, Jesus heals a woman bent over for eighteen years on the Sabbath. It’s a story of compassion breaking tradition, liberation colliding with ritual, and joy overwhelming shame.


In this episode of Queer Church: Faith Without Fear, we bring that story into today: from the SkyTrain queen who bent under panic at 22nd Street Station, to Vancouver Pride’s fire of joy, to the activism of Danny Ramadan helping queer refugees stand tall.


With scripture, queer theologians, and lived stories, we reflect on what it means to be seen, called, touched, and set free.
