The Case for the Canonization of Zackie Oh presented by Tomas Diafas and Kangella Tromokratisch(16:00-18:00)

               In this discussion we examined the case for creating queer Saints by proposing the Canonization of St. Zackie Oh.  Do we need symbols and heroes in the LGBTQI movement?  Is it a good idea to steal ideas from religion and why?  What characteristics would this Saint have? The Tomas Diafas made his case.  (Kangela Tromokratsch decided not to participate on the day)
