zariah Southworth
For two seasons, Azariah hosted and produced the syndicated Christian TV show The Remix on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. In 2008, Azariah sparked controversy after announcing he is gay, the first TBN personality to ever do so.
The Remix was pulled from the air immediately following his announcement and Azariah was shunned from a community he valued more than anything.
Azariah is currently writing a memoir detailing his story of escaping religious extremism and healing from the trauma of conversion therapy, and working to bring the word of God to other people like him.
aniel Franzese
In Hebrew, the name Daniel means “God is my judge.” Daniel Franzese lived his life knowing the meaning of his name would carry him through missions as a dedicated member of his Pentecostal church.
As he discovered he was queer, his journey became more complicated. At 21, Daniel checked himself into conversion therapy just as he began his acting career. Terrified and closeted, Daniel went on to play the iconic gay teen “Damian” in Mean Girls. He came out publicly on the film’s tenth anniversary.
As part of his legacy, Daniel wants LGBTQ persons to hear the message he so desperately needed to hear himself: no one can take God away from you.
