Kathy Baldock

Kathy Baldock author, LGBTQ advocate, and founder of Canyonwalker Connections, based in  Reno, NV, is a leading expert on the historical  and current discrimination against the LGBTQ community, in particular from the socially  conservative Christian church and political sectors.

Her first book, Walking the Bridgeless Canyon:  Repairing the Breach Between the Church and  the LGBT Community pieces together cultural and religious LGBTQ persecution and discrimination of the LGBTQ community. She is  currently completing her second, much-anticipated book based on original research as to  the origins of the word “homosexual” and it first usage in the RSV Bible in 1946. “Forging a  Sacred Weapon: How the Bible became Anti-Gay” will be published in Fall 2023. Baldock is one of the researchers featured in the much  acclaimed documentary  1946: The  Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture”  which is  currently in the film festival stage on its way to online streaming.
