In this Pride Sunday sermon from our Faith & Film sermon series, Rev. T. J. Fitzgerald weaves together the story of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, queer theology, and the lived realities of LGBTQ+ people.
From Miles Morales’ transformation into Spider-Man to the words of Audre Lorde and James Baldwin, Rev. Fitzgerald explores how heroism, guilt, and survival are central to both superhero stories and queer existence. Drawing parallels between the multiverse of Spider-People and the diverse beauty of queer identity, this message boldly proclaims: queer love is powerful, sacred, and it wins.
