Queering Your Family – Psalm 133

Queer Theology

In this episode, we answer a listener question asking for a possible lead on a devotional specifically created for queer married couples because most devotionals they’ve found are super “straight”.

We then queered a text from Psalm 133 that talks about families having to live together. Queer folks know the difficulty of feeling they need to stay in the closet just to keep their families intact. Tune in to find out what we think of this text and how it should be interpreted.

Key takeaways:

Psalm 133

Look at how good and pleasing it is

when families live together as one!

It is like expensive oil poured over the head,

running down onto the beard—

Aaron’s beard!—

which extended over the collar of his robes.

It is like the dew on Mount Hermon

streaming down onto the mountains of Zion,

because it is there that the Lord has commanded the blessing:

everlasting life.
