Rachel Cox (she/her) and Elihu Vineis (they/he)

In our first ever couples episode, we interview Rachel Cox (she/her) and Elihu Vineis (they/he). Some topics we cover include:

• Knowing their identities really young but not necessarily having words to describe them
• Coming to terms with gender and the gender of your partner
• Raising kids with queer parents and creating their family

Rachel earned her master's degree in English in 2012. She grew up LDS, but came out as lesbian and left the church in 2016. Rachel is a novelist and an English instructor at Weber State University. She is also a program coordinator in faculty development. She's lived in Utah since 2006. She is the author of the dystopian novel A Light from the Ashes and is currently writing a biographical novel about queer actress Maude Adams. El graduated from BYU with a Bachelor's degree in history, walking across the stage with one child in arms and one on the way. Three kids in and seven years later, their life was entirely turned upside down, prompting deep soul-searching and the realization that not only are they in fact attracted to women, but they are genderfluid. El is a Reiki Master and licensed massage therapist with a passion for healing and promoting wellness. Rachel and El were married this month and are happy to blend their family.
