This essay is a reflection on the life and work of the late Rev. Dr. Ibrahim Farajajé, a renown scholar of religion and eminent queer theologian. Farajajé’s work and vision as a bisexual theologian of color presents a radical intersectionality of race, gender, and desire. His notion of “kweers-in-intersection” speaks of both the fluidity and complexity that queers of color in particular embody. Farajajé spoke for these demonized desires, demonized spiritualities, and demonized bodies. As both a Christian and Sufi Muslim scholar and a spiritual leader, “Baba,” as he was affectionately called by many, was a guide to those seeking to break the bonds and forced silences of hardened, patriarchal religious frameworks. He stood both at the frontier and the margins of many demonized communities. He pioneered a scholarship of performance which sought to reclaim the rich “darkness” of erased lives. He stood in solidarity with those whose HIV, racial, and sexual status kept them marginalized and disenfranchized in the dominant heteropatriarchy. And he was able to call out liberating ancestors and divine powers by name for the sake of those who suffered from the dominating metanarrative of a heteronormative, patriarchal “God.”Introduction: how I met my Baba.
