Long-time advocate for queer people of faith, Benjamin Oh, his parents and partner Dr Nam Phan shares both challenging and heart-warming stories of Ben's queer flourishing that was inspired by, not despite, his Malaysian Peranakan Chinese heritage and his Catholic faith. From his childhood and adolescence in Malaysia, finding love and his community as an international student in Australia on the intersection of diaspora and faith, to building a rainbow family with his partner Nam and finding belonging within their extended family and community, they share how their relationship with family and faith has evolved and grown through the years, all under the constants of loving family bonds and deep spirituality. In this 1st part, we talk to Benjamin about discovering his queerness in his youth in Malaysia, their early years in Australia finding love and community, and their journey inviting his family into their true and full self.
