For members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, going home for the holidays can be a lot more complicated than trying to decide if one should check a bag or just take a carry on. Spending time with non-affirming family can be harmful in many ways. Pastor Katy Miles-Wallace (they/them) of Technicolor Ministries has a conversation with Pastor Alfi Wyatt (they/them) about how Alfi makes this decision for themselves and what they to do care for themselves before, during, and after. And if going home is not an option at all, Alfi talks us through how to spend the holiday in a meaningful way.

Make the Yuletide Gay is a collaboration between All Places Together and Technicolor Ministries.
