About Avery

All of the work on this website began with a tumblr blog that I started up in the June of 2015 called QueerlyChristian. I made that blog with the hopes of connecting with and ministering to other LGBTA/queer Christians. All those years ago, I never expected to attend a seminary, where I could expand my research and compile enough information to create not one but many websites!
I use they/them or ze/hir pronouns, and currently live in Atlanta, Georgia, with my wonderful wife Leah and our noisy, energetic cat Nerys. I'm 25, trans, autistic, and currently able-bodied. I'm a nonbinary Catholic-Presbyterian graduate of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
If you want to be super cool and support my work financially, you can do so on a monthly basis on Patreon, or just a few bucks at a time on Ko-fi.
