Queerituality: Exploring the Intersections of Queerness and Spirituality
Greetings from Queerituality, a warm and welcoming community of 2SLGBTQ+ USC students and friends exploring the intersections of queerness and spirituality. Whether you’re seeking answers, understanding, friendship, or a safe space to be your authentic self, Queerituality awaits. Come explore, question, and celebrate with us. Activities span from discussing such topics as finding the sacred in queerness to exploring divination practices.
Queerituality meets bi-weekly at the LGBTQ+ Student Center (STU 415).

Meet Clint, Our Queer Chaplain
Clint Keller (he/him) is serving as the Queer Chaplain at USC this year. In this role, Clint provides programming that fosters spiritual health, with a special focus on supporting each student’s individual identity and sense of belonging. He’d love to hear from you!
What is a Queer Chaplain?
A queer chaplain is trained to support the spiritual needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Understanding the unique challenges queer individuals face both within and outside of religious spaces, queer chaplains offer a space that is affirming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental. Their approach is rooted in a queer perspective, ensuring that spiritual care aligns with the lived experiences of the queer community.
Clint is a scholar, writer, band geek, and gaymer (video, card, board, TTRPG, etc). He’s interested in nearly everything and would be happy to talk with you about any subject!
