Too Gay for the Christian Church, Too Problematic for the Woke Church

Quillette Cetera

As a Christian lesbian and non-woke artist, Melody Rachel has always felt isolated from the communities she gets grouped into. But as Melody shows, perhaps happiness comes from accepting your own identity as an individual, not from demanding acceptance as a member of an identity group.

Melody Rachel is a multifaceted artist from New Zealand who currently resides in Sydney. Melody hosts the enlightening "You Know I" podcast, where she delves into a myriad of thought-provoking topics—ranging from gender and religion to challenging ideological orthodoxy in the arts.

Melody is gearing up for her one-woman show "Demo" at the Sydney Fringe Festival. The show explores her complex feelings of alienation and polarization as she navigates through various communities—being a lesbian, a Christian, and an artist who thrives on challenging norms.
