My New Youtube Channel - switchingview

The switchingview project tells positive stories about LGBTQIA+ people from centuries past. It explores the relationship between homosexual people and the Christian Church, in a way that corrects centuries of religious prejudice and distortion.

It describes how in many cultures, right across the world and across history, homosexual and other LGBTQIA+ people were widely accepted and valued for the gifts they brought to their cultures. But then in history, Jewish and Christian faith leaders combined with patriarchal state powers to violently suppress these gender variant and homosexual lives. Across the world these varied queer histories have been all but forgotten.

It is now time to challenge that suppression, to recover these histories, and to appreciate the full diversity of what LGBTQIA+ lives have been, and can be in the future.

The switchingview project uses social media to tell these stories - through Podcasts, YouTube videos and a website. I want the stories to be accessible to anybody in the world with a mobile phone or PC, rather than being locked away in a university library.

The switchingview.com website gives full information about where this history can found.
