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.
