Putting on a Coat of Colours
This is the podcast Putting on a Coat of Colours. This podcast is a Community Storytelling project of Coat of Colours, a council of Cathedral of Hope, United Church of Christ, in Dallas, TX. Our hope is that this podcast will make room for persons of color and their white allies, who are both gay and straight…•To tell of their joys and frustrations•To tell of their sense of belonging and their sense of exclusion•To celebrate our uniqueness to the larger community and celebrate our commonalities•To invite members of the larger community to join in this purpose

In the third installment of the conversation between Darnell and Thomas, Darnell talks about the welcoming nature of Coat of Colours and how seeking “to decrease the cultural divide and increase a multicultural presence” is defining the group. They also talk about how the white gay members of the community have a real sense of what it means to be marginalized, but often worry about their own space and don’t go any deeper.
