Declaring to Kiawe and the others in Alola, Goh states that Ash isn’t his rival. He’s his friend and fellow research partner. According to Daiki Yamashita, the Japanese voice actor for Goh, his character design was intended to be androgynous, meaning that his gender could theoretically be male, female or neither. His appearance is open to interpretation, but the gender-neutral look suggests that Goh could be easily viewed as either non-binary or genderfluid.

Joseph N. Goh was born in April to a family of mostly-Chinese mixed ancestry in the city of Kuching in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. The elder of two children, his formative years were marked by weekend picnics in the country, Roman Catholic midnight masses, English novels, British and Malaysian sophisti-pop singles think Sade and Sheila Majid , supernatural horror movies and fiery parental squabbles.

In fact, his maternal great-grandfather had left China to minister as a catechist in Sarawak and his paternal grand-aunt was a highly respected religious sister. He was deeply conflicted as being gay was and still is associated with illegal behaviour, abnormality, shame and sinfulness in many sectors of Malaysian life. Fearing rejection and ridicule, the young teenage Goh disguised his sexuality from his family and friends for as long as he could.

Nevertheless, he found in the Creator God a refuge of unconditional acceptance and the source of being gay. A lot of his time was spent in duties as an altar server, a member of the Legion of Mary, and quiet moments in prayer and discernment. Three months shy of his twenty-second birthday, and after a brief foray in secondary school teaching, he left Kuching for full-time training in religious life and the priesthood in Singapore.

In the process, he found himself schooled in philosophy, theology, and practical ministerial matters. Goh professed permanent vows and was ordained by the time he was thirty. He also served on numerous ecclesial commissions in and beyond the Archdiocese. He was happy but he still could not find the inner peace and reconciliation for which he was craving.

After eight years of full-time ministry, Goh received permission to undertake graduate studies in systematic theology sacramentology at the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California in During this time, he made many good friends at the School, the parishes to which he supplied masses, the religious communities at which he stayed, and in the wider east bay and bay area.

The life lessons he learned during this period were both cathartic and transformative. It was at this time that his passion for academia, research and education was further fuelled. More importantly, meeting ordained and non-ordained academic and non-academic staff and students who were LGBTQ or allies — especially those who were Roman Catholic — introduced him to a whole new world of possibilities to live happily as being an out gay, ordained Christian man.

Goh gradually learned to relinquish Roman Catholic exceptionalism and embrace a more radical, progressive and inclusive form of Christianity. He was finally able to see that God was so much bigger and more magnanimous than he had originally thought God was. Goh could finally separate God from church, which meant that in good conscience, he could no longer preach and uphold heteronormative, cisnormative, sexist and patriarchal forms of theology.

Several alarming incidents in community life also caused him to doubt that he was actually suited for religious life. After many nights of tears, pain and negotiation with God, he finally decided to leave the Roman Catholic religious life and priesthood in He still cherished his calling to the presbyteral ministry and eventually transferred his credentials to an Independent Catholic jurisdiction in However, he is currently searching for a more established community that will allow him to explore his transgressive theological sentiments, and which can accommodate his combined vision of an academic career, ministerial service and a committed relationship.

Upon returning to Malaysia in , Goh broke the news of his departure from Roman Catholicism and came out to his parents who, much to his relief, welcomed the news well. Eager to experience new forms of service after 17 years of ecclesiastical ministry, he ventured into not-for-profit work and served as an HIV Counselling and Testing Manager at PT Foundation, a community based organisation concerned with issues of gender, sexuality and sexual health in Kuala Lumpur.

Goh saw his time at PT Foundation as a form of ministry which was vastly more challenging than parish ministry, but he was also invited by the pastor of the open and affirming Good Samaritan Metropolitan Community Church which became Good Samaritan Kuala Lumpur church in Joe Pang to deliver sermons and lead worship on a constant basis for the benefit of its mostly gay and lesbian congregation.

They took to each other instantly as they shared many common interests. After a brief period of dating and falling in love, they entered into a committed relationship in They shared 5 years, 4 months and 18 days of happiness together before R finally succumbed to a terminal illness in Although they did not have the opportunity to officially marry, Goh still considers R as his late husband. In , Goh made the decision to embark on full-time doctoral studies.
