The Non-Binary Marriage
How does the same married couple go from being conservative evangelical darlings to a queer couple that the church doesn't know how to handle?
When we got married, we both identified as cisgender, heterosexuals and were church leaders. Now one of us is non-binary (Beecher), the other is not straight (April) and we're still married, still monogamous and still christian.
This is the story of how we went from fundamentalism to freedom and the hard road in between.

She is married to Beecher and they have two daughters.
Beecher is a non-binary filmmaker residing in Tennessee with their wife and two daughters. Having only recently come out, they are in the process of deconstructing oppressive ideologies in order to promote authenticity and a larger spiritual connection in themselves. It's a journey, but they still try have fun on the way.
