N2  - This work positions queer youth suicide as deviant aperture into scandal within divine life through an 'indecenting' of kenotic agency located in the Incarnation itself. Refuting a heteronormative gaze that defines queer youth suicide as an expression of pathology, I present a disruptive coming out of God who redeems through scandal by posing these suicides as deaths for others. Drawing from two liberation theologians, I offer a construct of martyrdom within historical contexts of an excess of death that is capable of carrying the weight of their agency within a destructive heteronormative reality. Applying Althaus-Reid's method of 'indecenting' within their last deviant act, both vitiated and vindicated in this kenotic agency of God, queer youth suicide becomes a preferred vehicle of divine delight and reclamation. Although disruptive, this divine eloquence spills out everywhere, cracking open a theological praxis where no one ever falls outside of God, especially in death. © 2018, © The Author(s) 2018.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
