Kathy Baldock

 

Kathy Baldock (she/her) 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.

Kathy is one of the main researchers featured in the award winning documentary "1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture." Her next book, "Forging a Sacred Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay" (Spring 2025), is a historical and contextually-based survey following male-female roles, human sexuality, procreation, and Bible translations, as impacted by cultural, social, medical, political, legal, and military influences from ancient to current times. The book focuses on original research into the reasons the word “homosexual” was included for the first time in the 1946 Revised Standard Version NT Bible. 

Her first book, "Walking the Bridgeless Canyon" (2014), pieced together the history of cultural and religious discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and contains personal stories of LGBTQ+ people impacted by non-inclusive theology.
