Description:

In this conversation, Dr. Amy Hamilton shares her struggle with same-sex attraction, her conversion to Christianity, and her eventual embrace of Catholicism. Dr. Hamilton emphasizes the importance of truth in addressing contemporary issues surrounding sexuality and the need for compassion without compromising on Christian teachings. She also highlights the role of counseling in her transformation and offers advice for loved ones of those struggling with similar issues.

 

Amy Hamilton has been a social worker, a Fulbright scholar to Indonesia, a Sexuality Research Fellow, and an Assistant Professor. She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004. Her dissertation focused on the life narratives of Christians who had experienced conflicts between their spiritual and sexual identity.  She is currently in her fifth year working as a research associate at the University of Texas at Austin. Amy writes on topics related to marriage, faith, gender, and sexuality.

 

Amy has also given hope to many through sharing her story of personal transformation in Christ. Formerly lesbian-identified, Amy’s own journey with same-sex attraction and identity confusion, combined with her academic knowledge, gives her a voice of unique authority amidst the contentious cultural conversations of the day.
