wait, is that JOE HART? they kinda look a lot like LUKA SABBAT, don’t they? i heard the 21-year-old is known as the CHURCH OWL around mckinley. it seems like they auditioned to be in THE NEW DIRECTIONS which is so lame? people at campus have said they’re KINDHEARTED, but don’t be fooled since they’re also -DOGMATIC. rumor has it, you can find them at WRITING CLUB when they aren’t belting show tunes. their entire vibe revolves around A WORN OUT BIBLE, THE SCENT OF PATCHOULI, THE FEELING OF BARE FEET IN GRASS but no one pays attention to that here in ohio.

about joe

his full name is joseph izaiah hart.

joe's father is a bible salesman and supports a very large family on his sales skills. joseph is the oldest of seven children. his other siblings are paul (19), edith (17), judith (17), mark (14), solomon (10), benjamin (5). joseph was often in charge of caring for his siblings, which he did with great care and attention.

joe is studying theology and actually hopes to become a reverend at some point. he was raised in an evangelical household, but as he has been exploring the world and himself, it is actually the episcopal church that is attractive to him.

his minor is social work, which is what interests him and is what he would do if he weren't able to find a congregation to lead.

he is bisexual but is struggling quite a bit with that in combination with his faith.

he is very scared of losing his family, and he is actually quite sure he'd be alone in the world, save for maybe two of his siblings, if he ever came out. it is very clear in his family that homosexuality isn't accepted.

he often volunteers at the local episcopal church events as well as other charity work (animal shelter, homeless charity) and will invite anyone and everyone.

his guitar is named elijah.

he has always loved to sing but his family's quite closed-off nature has made it impossible for him to ever join any type of extracurricular activity before. he has been in writing class ever since he started, just to do something but this year he has decided to try his hand at singing and so, he chose to audition for the new directions. the diverse group attracted him, and he hoped to find a place there that would help him accept himself for who he is.
