Kelly Hofer - From Hutterite to Heathen
Divorced: Hutterite Christianity
My guest today is fellow Canadian, Kelly Hofer, who is a visual content producer in Calgary, Alberta. Kelly grew up on a Hutterite colony in Manitoba. At age 19, Kelly made the difficult decision to leave his home on the colony due to his sexuality and to pursue art as a career.
Kelly now works in the mediums of Photography, Film, Wearable Tech, Electrical Engineering, Furniture Design, and other experimental art forms.
Today, Kelly shares about growing up and leaving his family and culture and how he helps other gay Hutterites today.

Interesting story of your life. I know Huderite boy's who left their colony. Their name is Hofer as well. Either of them ever married but were in a few relationships. I use to live in Manitoba but now live in Mississauga, ON.

Thank you for watching.

Have you listened to Eli Yoder on RU-vid? He has a very touching story of his life too. He was an Amish Mennonite and he also left the colony.

@@almabelhumeur6672 No, I hadn't heard of him previously. Thanks!

I would like to visit the Hutterites, I left a big metro area and hang out with Anabaptists in Kansas, there are so many things that Anabaptist groups do better than the modern world, which is selfish, isolated, narcissistic, indulgent, etc. There is much more socializing and a greater sense of community with these traditional Anabaptist people, you have to really avoid TV, media, pop culture, consumerism, etc, and focus on your local human community. I'm glad Kelly can find a better place for himself, the more mainstream Anabaptist groups like General Conference Mennonites are pretty progressive and accepting of LGBTQ.

Hi it's Doug again, I forgot to mention, is it possible to pass my comments on to Kelly Hover and be so kind to ask him if he would like to email to me, and we can share our views. I know a member of the same Hutterite colonie that I have been regularly been writing too.

You can try contacting him through his website www.kellyhofer.com/

As a nonbiever, they are respecting your lifestyle. It's a Biblical lifestyle and to deny the existence of God doesn't fit. They don't shun you.

@ComeToCORT 4 месяца назад

No, they do not respect the LGBTQ+ "lifestyle." I'm pretty sure people know when they are being shunned, though the shunning itself is because they have been indoctrinated into their religious belief system.

What a lovely young man. I wish for a day when the Hutterites or at least his family respects their beautiful son for what he is. He is so much more than not fitting into their box. I appreciate how his words weren’t hateful. They just were precise and explanatory. Hoping for a day that this happens. He is such a beautiful person, from inside to out. I would be so proud of him if I were his mom/grandmother. Keep going sweetheart! One day at a time! 🫶☀️

I was kinda expecting him to be a heathen. As in Norse Pagan.

@ComeToCORT Месяц назад

Interesting! Thanks for watching.

Kelly. You` re right about most things you feel about religion....I get the chip on your shoulder. AND its a HUGE chip. But Jesus Christ, the man, the son of God, is not about religion. But, heres the hard part. HE will not compete with the Demon who promotes and inspires homosexuality. You must come to him alone.

@ComeToCORT 2 месяца назад

100% inappropriate. Keep your religion to yourself, and don't bother commenting on this channel again with proselytizing nonsense.
