the confession

STAG Nights: SIN | 28th November | 7pm | QMU Venue

Luke has developed feelings for a boy in his class but has been told that same-sex relations are a sin his whole life. He goes to confession at his church where he speaks to his priest about his developing feelings about boys and God. Father Michael is your standard parish priest, or so it seems. When faced with one of his young parishioner’s questions about God and sexuality, some buried secrets about his own past and identity are brought to the surface. A story of queerness and faith set in a Catholic Confession booth tells the heartbreaking, but all too common story of the struggle between religious and sexual identity.
