Mario Elias is here! To cap off an exciting and rich pride month, I'm joined by author Mario Elias who provided such a moving and deep conversation on his own experiences like his queer identity and how his family accepted him for who he was regardless of their Catholic faith.
There's always been some kind of abrasion between various religions and the LGBTQ+ community, which makes today's episode with Mario such an intriguing one: we get to hear what it's like to be accepted by a religious family rather than the usual rejection on a mass scale.
Mario's new novel Beloved Disciples is out now! Beloved Disciples is a Gothic horror-infused ghost story exploring the decay of devotion into obsession, set in a fictional Caribbean city. It's dreamy, intense and sure to fuel the fire for any reader out there.
