Episode 4: Beyond "Pray the Gay Away" (Purna Das)

Queer Becomings: Beyond Survival · Aug 7, 2026 · 40m

Purna was raised in a faith that demonized a part of him that he couldn’t change, no matter how hard he tried. After nearly a decade of suppressing his queerness, he finally had enough. He left his family’s church and paved his own spiritual path out of compassion and curiosity. Now he lives an authentic life as a gay man and helps others just like him.
