Let’s be internet friends.

Hi! I’m Jules. I’m a Philly-based writer who grew up queer in evangelical circles in Texas. I wrote a memoir about that experience called Outlove: A Queer Christian Survival Story. If you’ve ever loved a community that couldn’t or wouldn’t love you back, this book is for you. And if you’re curious about the inner workings of one of the most powerful political forces in the U.S., you might like this book, too!

I’ve written about faith and LGBTQ issues for outlets like The New York TimesThe Washington Post, and Time, and my story is featured in Pray Away, a documentary about conversion therapy in Christian communities.

I may not know the specific fears, questions, or curiosities that you bring to this space, but I’m glad you’re here. This is a place for us to think out loud together.

Why subscribe?

I am obsessed with online spaces that move us away from hot takes and toward genuine connections with one another. This is a place for us to slow down, to re-examine old ideas, take in new ones, and begin to imagine fresh ways of sharing life together.

I will send out a newsletter intermittently, so subscribe to stay in the loop! I’m keeping it free because you shouldn’t need money to access everything.
