In a world where religious faith reduces the risk of suicide for virtually every American demographic except one - LGBTQ people - it is crucial for Christians to confront the devastating effects of this legacy. With her sociological training and leadership in the Side B/Revoice conversation, Rivera delves into the pain experienced by LGBTQ Christians and offers invaluable insights for churches to develop a better pastoral approach.

"Heavy Burdens" sheds light on seven different forms of discrimination faced by LGBTQ individuals in the church. By grappling with these hard realities, Christians can start paving better paths forward for everyone.

As Jesus once said, "They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them" (Matt. 23:4).
