Simon Greening of Hits Radio Pride and Kirsten Lass of Loftus Media talk through the making of Faith, Sex & Me.

Video produced by No Class for the Sandford St Martin Trust.

Faith, Sex & Me tells the stories of 20 LGBTQ+ people and their relationship with faith, in their own words. For many in the LGBTQ+ community, religion can be uplifting and inspirational, but it can also be painful and excluding. This series asks big questions about sex, God, identity, and equality. Never “preachy”, it creates a space for powerful and surprising human stories, humour and heartbreak. Airing on Hits Radio Pride (the UK’s first commercial LGBTQ+ radio station from a major broadcaster) and supported by the Audio Content Fund, each three minute episode hears the story of one person who shares their personal relationship with faith and sexuality. These engaging shortform stories represent the diverse faiths that are to be found in modern UK society: Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, and even Pagans.

Our judges said: “Although the clips are short they express a concise deeply emotional message. Easy to listen to with high quality production and charismatic guests which appeals to a wide audience. Gives the LGBT+ community a space to share their stories in the hopes of helping those who are struggling. Innovative as in previous years these kinds of stories would have been considered taboo.”
