Ep 5. What Would Gay Jesus Do: My Coming Out Story
Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective.

Have you ever been told that your God or faith didn’t accept you? That your God didn’t love you? Have you ever been told that you didn’t belong? If so, this episode is for you, for the LGBTQ+ community, for all the outcasts. Please know that you are special, you are purposeful, you are beautiful, and your God, or whatever you believe in, believes in you too.
