Gender and Identity
Listen now
Description
June is Pride Month, dedicated to celebrating people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and more, usually depicted by a plus, the inclusive symbol to mean and others, and includes people of all identities and queer communities globally. Pride is not just a celebration, it's also about protest, designed to get people thinking about acceptance, equality and deeper matters about identity. Today, we turn our attention to that very matter, considering gender. What does it mean on its most fundamental level? What did God intend? How does it make us who we are to ourselves and each other? And what of the interplay between biology, psychology and faith? Big topics and ones which can stir confusion, concern, and generate challenging questions. To help make sense of these matters, Delyth Liddell is joined by: The Bishop of Llandaff, the Very Reverend Mary Stallard Reverend John-Edward Funnell, Pastor of Noddfa, Abersychan Reverend Sarah Jones, a transgender Anglican priest and vicar of St. John's in central Cardiff and Jack Valero, founder of Catholic Voices
