Episcopal Pastrix Praises Polyamory as ‘Beautiful, God-given shade of the rainbow’

Rev. Jazzy Bostock is an Episcopal priestess and a “proud, kanaka maoli woman” who “pastors” St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church Maili, Oahu, as well as the local progressively Lutheran church.  

Gay “married” with two adopted foster children, she recently preached a sermon at the Episcopal Parish of St. Clement in Honolulu, where she revealed an incident that happened between her and an impressionable teen, which led her to realize how beautiful and wonderful polyamory (throuples) is.

“And most of the time, I forget that being a lesbian is at all controversial because it’s my life. And honestly, then all of a sudden, this young teen has the courage to talk to me, to go out of their way to make that connection.

Because even in 2024, there’s something controversial about being gay, about being a lesbian, about being pansexual or polyamorous or asexual or any of the other beautiful, God-given shades of the rainbow.

And because there’s something different about it, there’s power in standing up and being counted. Our visibility matters to the world we are in and the world we are creating. Youth are still looking for elder queers, for gay and lesbian and transgendered and bisexual, single and partnered and married people to fill out the rainbow, to show them what might be possible, what life could look like.

We are beautiful and perfect and made in God’s image, but our world needs healing…it needs healing from hatred and narrow mindedness and judgment and bigotry. It needs healing from unkindness and presumption and boxes that are too small for any of us to make a comfortable home.”
