(Re)Born This Way is a Christian small group for LGBTQ+ students to:

• Celebrate and explore how faith and queerness inform each other
• Discuss intersecting (and sometimes conflicting) identities
• Address issues faced by Christian LGBTQ+ students at UMD
• Create space for healing

Whatever your background – Catholic, Protestant, unsure, non-denominational, or something more – you are invited!

The UMD Division of Student Affairs Queer Christians Affinity Group is a radically inclusive faith community for faculty, staff, and graduate students. As a group, we are deconstructing and queering our faith as we unpack the violence we have experienced in our faith journeys as queer people. Email lorae@umd.edu with questions.

An interrogation of STEM education as a white, patriarchal space
