Meet Kalie Hargrove!

Kalie May (she/her) is a writer, theologian, ordained minister, and Director of Digital Outreach for the Center for Prophetic Imagination. She lives in the greater-Atlanta area with her partner and two kids. Kalie has been part of LGBTQ+ activism bringing awareness of the legalized discrimination queer and trans students face at religious universities. She received her Master of Divinity emphasizing in Biblical Studies from United Theological Seminary of Twin Cities.

In todays episode, Kalie Hargrove, an ordained minister  is waiting to hear whether she will be unable to continue to hold that title due to being trans.  Lincoln University, "kicked me out for being trans and they sexually harassed me," said Kalie referring to Title 9 not allowing you to discriminate against people in the LGBTQ community. Her journey is more complicated due to 3 generations of ministers and the possibility that she was turned in by someone close to her. Also, she explains the plot thickens when religious organizations have a loop hole at their disposal for managing sexual harassment complaints.
