The Fagnostic Podcast

What’s up y’all of little faith and welcome to the 6th episode of season 2 of TFP!

I’m your hostess, not your Moses, Mat Hayes, and if I’m still giving you episodes, it means that I am still looking for answers!

Y’all, today I have a gay icon on the show! In 1985, Steve Pieters was interviewed by Tammy Faye on her evangelical talk show seen around the world, and was recently portrayed in the academy award winning film, “The Eyes Of Tammy Faye,” starring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield.

Steve has been living with HIV/AIDS for over 30 years, literally surviving death. As a gay pastor living with the very disease that most evangelicals weaponized against our community, Steve has done so much to bring healing to the queer community at large.

He truly is one of our generation’s gay pioneers in every sense of the word and honestly, I can’t believe his publicist agreed to set this interview up. I am so honored to introduce you all to this living legend.
