Queers In Cults
“It’s Our Turn” is a show where the hosts, Emerson and Aydan, share their stories growing up as queer people in toxic religious environments. Our hope is that it will provide education, validation, and maybe even a laugh or two for those healing from religious trauma. The more people know about how these systems affect people the better off we will all be. Now, you will hear no “religion bashing” here. Just sincere, heartfelt (and sometimes mildly irreverent) stories about how we navigated the world of religion, our own journey of healing, and what we’ve learned along the way.

Queers in Cults
Aydan and Emerson are two queer people that grew up in toxic religious environments and want to share their stories to help others grow and heal from their own experiences.
Emerson grew up in a Mormon household and has a unique perspective of the challenges that one faces in such an environment.
Aydan grew up in a Pentecostal Christian environment. Their experience of gaslighting, guilt, shame and manipulation is one that is, unfortunately, all too familiar for man people
