Beyond “You’re Welcome Here”

In this season-closing episode of The Priesthood of All Queer Believers, Anny and Tym reflect on what makes a space feel truly safe — and why simply saying “you’re welcome here” is not always enough.

They talk about the difference between inclusion and belonging, the ways queer people learn to shrink or code-switch, and the sacred work of reclaiming our bodies, voices, clothes, relationships, faith, and joy. From church spaces and queer-centered places to Disney, New Orleans, Procter, friendships, family, and the people who help us feel most like ourselves, this conversation asks what it means to be seen, held, and allowed to become.

It is funny, tender, reflective, and deeply honest—a conversation about the spaces that formed us, the spaces that failed us, and the kind of spaces we are called to create for one another.
