Hi!! It’s a brand fresh academic year, and with it a brand fresh person running the blog: me, Erin (she/her), though I go by other erin on here. Also (I hope) there are brand new people reading this who’ve never heard of the Gay Saint Blog before – if so, welcome! Please stick around :)
Our infinitely beloved Head of Online Content and re-launcher of the blog and kind of my hero Lina (insane how they managed to do all this) has graduated, but fear not! The slayest blog in St Andrews is still running and I am going to try my absolute best to retain it as good as it ever was – but first, a letter from Lina:
This blog is my baby, as everyone on the 2023-2024 blog team and senior committee knows because of how much I yap about it. It was minuscule over a year ago that Jack and I decided to make a blog and then realised exactly how logistically hard that is and did it anyway. Cue a lot of stressing, organising, hiring a team (and promising that a website would materialise at some point), designing, and scheduling.
One year later I am leaving my baby all grown up, feeling favor a successful parent (if you disagree please don’t tell me because that’l

Christianity vs LGBTQ+
Why this feud? We are all the same!
It’s almost the finish of the year. We’ve all achieved goals, regret stuff, compromise on things, fight for our believes, etc. and by ALL I signify ALL, straight, queer , lesbian, trans, etc. I sometimes consider that we handle to forget we’re all the matching, especially in the eyes of God.
Until now, I’ve been really proud of myself because I’ve stood up whenever someone questioned my faith being part of the LGBT community. But its moments like this, when I’m feeling a little bit down, when I watch videos of catholic priests and/or christians basically construct me doubt myself.
I’ve struggled with my thoughts on my catholic faith and my sexuality for more than 10 years. And in those 10 years I’m convinced God gave me some sort of sympathy that I am who I am and it’s OK. I’ve had the chance to say with very instructed and highly educated religious people and somehow a 24 year old (me), without any learning of theology or deep knowledge of the bible itself, has been competent to leave these people speechless by sharing my encounter and all my thoughts.
What’s happening now is that I’m watching all these preacher
Earlier this week I went to the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston to see the Fashioned by Sargentexhibit, which closes in two weeks. This exhibit from the MFA is one of my favorites in recent memory. Perhaps Bostonians more than most Americans are interested in Sargent because of how much of his work has ended up here but it was apparent this exhibit has been embraced by the city. When I remarked about the crowds the day I visited, one of the MFA employees told me the exhibit had been very well attended.
In this exhibit the MFA looks at some of the artist’s most known portraits and shares how Sargent meticulously dressed and posed each of his subjects; sometimes quite provocatively. A good example is his scandalous portrait of Virginie Amélie Avegno, a.k.a. Madame X, which caused an uproar when it was shown in Paris in 1884 because it emphasized the sexual allure of a married woman. It’s amazing to think this portrait ruined the reputation of Virginie Amélie Avegno in Parisian society.
In addition to watercolors and his lovely portraits, the exhibit brings many paintings to life by displaying the dresses and in some cases accessories besides the pa
