In a way, though, the fact that I can’t even begin to cover everything for a handbook chapter on #queer and #trans Jewish theologies is actually fucking AMAZING. There is SO MUCH good stuff out there, y’all.

When I—a mere infant, relatively speaking—was negotiating my own queer Jewishness, there WAS already a lot out there, but I recall having to already know what I was looking for to find it.

Now there are more prominent institutions devoted to making highly visible space for #LGBTQ+ Jews. There are anthologies of resources, and, perhaps most game changing, many more easily navigable online archives, many of which have social media presences.

And in these days of vicious, deadly backlash, that’s important to remember. It’s a lot harder now to keep us from finding one another, and from finding the resources that help us figure out who we are and help us flourish.

It’s far easier for more of us to know MORE, sooner. And I desperately hope that will make it far harder to make us go away.
