Details

Megan Rohrer (born 1980) is an American activist for homeless and LGBTQ+ rights and former Lutheran bishop. Rohrer is the first openly transgender minister ordained in the Lutheran tradition and a successful author and finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in 2012 for "Letters For My Brothers: Transitional Wisdom in Retrospect." As an award-winning historian, Rohrer has written the book San Francisco's Transgender District. Following his reception as a minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in 2010, he was interviewed by Cosmopolitan about his experiences as an out and queer clergy member, stating "I'm a pastor. I'm a parent. I'm transgender. I am a work in progress." Rohrer served the church as bishop of its Sierra Pacific Synod from 2021 until asked to resign in June 2022. Allegations of racism came forward after Rohrer was directed to terminate "a Latino pastor following a two-year investigation into several accusations against him." On June 23, 2023, Rohrer was removed from the roster of the Sierra Pacific Synod by letter, and rostered ministers were notified by email on June 28. In his 2023 whistleblower lawsuit against the denomination for violations of labor laws and defamation, Rohrer cites discrimination from the ELCA for being transgender.
