Hi hello yes, totally! there's an app called Our Bible App that's full of fabulous stuff made by and for marginalized folks, including a lot of queer folk + BIPOC. A lot of it is free, including some Lenten material; and there is more if you pay for a subscription.
Other Lenten devotional suggestions:
Queering Lent by slats toole — One poem per day of Lent, plus a sermon in the back. Literally like one of my fave collections of poems ever. You can read some poems from it in my tag here, or buy the book on amazon. .
Ashes to Rainbows: A Queer Lenten Devotional, all free online — not daily, but there's one reflection for each Sunday of Lent, plus every day of Holy Week. .
Disabling Lent — same idea as the previous, but through a disability lens rather than an LGBT/queer lens. .
And this year, the same folks who made the previous two devotionals are putting out weekly reflections from a mujerista perspective (Latina feminist theology), in Spanish with translations into English! .
O Beautiful Dust: Walking the Wilderness Towards Common Prayer by RW Walker — book with a prayer for every day of Lent. The author is gay, autistic, and has ADHD and cerebral palsy. Also he's just pretty fun and cool :) I'm actually the narrator of the audiobook for this!! i know the ebook and print editions are out; if the audiobook isn't it should be any day now.
Anyone else have recommendations for anon for devotionals (for Lent or in general) that are LGBTAQ affirming / leftist / liberationist?
