‘Almost a pastor, now a queer comedian who throws dildos off the stage.’ This is how Darwin-based performer Ace R L describes themself in their one-person cabaret, A Night With Pastor Ace.Â
R L experienced conversion practices growing up in the Evangelical church – practices not based on any scientific evidence, but an attempt to change an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression to align with heterosexual and cisgender norms.Â
