* The entire third season of Plain Rainbows podcast is now available via Podbean, YouTube and Facebook! Thank you to my fabulous co-host Mary Byler and all of our guests, patrons and subscribers! Dialogue is key in bridging the cultural divide between Amish and non-Amish society. Holding space for conversations centering on Amish and Anabaptist LGBTQ issues has brought "Plain Rainbows" / allies from across the Anabaptist diaspora together in community and friendship!
Doing this podcast has been a beautiful rewarding experience.
Gay Amish (with a forbidden iPhone) are hearing our voices and to those who have reached out, we see, love and support your journey.
Happy Pride 24/7/365! Amish / Anabaptists have yet to accept us but we are living proof that an authentic life is not only possible but that we are living our best lives!
* I have put a lot of writing on the back burner this year however I did have work published in a few places. Thank you to the editors, publishers, journals and my readers who have also reached out to me over the years from Leeds to Lancaster! I appreciate you and your Amish stories!
