Writers Talk About Stuff
Rie Lee, Queerness and Spirituality
A one on one with a fellow author Rie Lee
Rie Lee and Scott Coon examine the intersection of queerness and spirituality. They discuss the myths their religious environments taught them about queerness, how they realized they were queer, and how their spiritual journeys intertwined with their queer journeys, ultimately arriving at a place of peace.
Rie Lee’s novel, VESSEL, is a reflection of the author’s personal coming-out/deconstruction journey and reflects strongly on modern themes of a conservative culture trying to reinforce cishet gender roles and reproductive choices made by a select few for the masses. Queer readers in heteronormative religions and anyone in a high-control environment especially may find affirmation through this book.
