REBLOG THIS IF YOU ARE AN LGBTQIA+ AFFIRMING CHRISTIAN!! 🌈✝

and i DON'T mean in a "love the sinner not the sin" way or in a "side b" way. ❌

i mean if you believe that LGBTQIA+ folks are just the way God made them and that they are loved by God unconditionally and don't need to change or hide who they are to receive God's grace 🌈✝

sometimes i get so confused about wether or not being gay is a sin, like i’ve read almost everything on the topic, and i understand it, it makes absolute sense how it’s not a sin.

but then on the other hand is the strong and intense push back/ conviction/ hatred from those who think it is a sin, which makes me start to second guess myself

i want to be accepted by other christians but i know they’d never accept me as a lesbian.

but every time i pray about it to God, i only feel immense love from Him. not condemnation or conviction or shame, but love.

that gives me some hope in who i am i suppose

Queer Christians Unite!

If you're a queer Christian, would you mind interacting with this post in some way? I would love to get to know more queer Christians in all different walks of life, as at least in my personal life it can feel rather isolating.

If you're not a queer Christian and would like to interact with this post as well, please feel free! Just please be kind, and also recognize that this post is about uniting people in what feels like rather small pockets of society. And please no hate, I understand that different beliefs, opinions, and standpoints/life experiences exist, and the more difficult conversations about those kinds of things can totally happen. However, I also happen to get a lot of difficult comments and hateful sentiments from people irl, and I would like this post to be a safe place.

Thank you and I love you all!

being a queer christian makes you feel like you never belong in any space - you have to justify your faith to other queer folks, you have to defend your sexuality in religious spaces. you feel eternally torn, welcome everywhere buy never truly belonging. the only spaces where i feel 100% comfortable is in my room with my prayers and my bible, where i can exist as i am without having to give any explanation.

sending love to all queer christians - we are the toughest. ❤️

Prayer for those who suffer: Victims of Genocide

Lord Have Mercy Lord Have Mercy Lord Have Mercy

Lord Come to their assistance, make haste to help them. Those who mourn. Those who cry. Those whose pain is far too much to bare. For those who live with no families left to hold. No mothers. No fathers. No children. Lord we pray to you that you shelter them from the evils of the world that seeks to harm them. That you bless their hearts. We ask you grant protection to those who live. Those who fight. and those imprisoned. We ask that you show mercy to us who watch. That you grant us opportunities to help and shelter: to protect and support.

Lord we ask that you hear our prayer. Grant these people in peace as there are many who suffer throughout the world. Sudan. Palestine. Democratic Republic of Congo. Papua New Guinea. and so so so many more places.

We pray for those who remain malnourished of their land and culture, and systematically occupied. We pray for their freedoms as well such as Puerto Rico, Hawaii and many many more places.

I pray for them and their safety. They are our brothers and sisters in humanity and I pray that you lend them your strength and protection. I pray for the Children, The orphans, The women, The widows, The grandparents who have out lived their offspring and their generations built, The men who lost their wives, The men who lost their children, The students robbed of education, The children robbed of their childhood, the people of this earth robbed of their lives.

I pray for Yemen, Lord, Lebanon, Lord, Ethiopia, Lord, Rwanda, Lord. as we know they too are in times of trial. Come to their Aid. And to the Aid of those all around the world who seek you, and need you.

Lord We Pray in your Holy Name

Amen

The Rainbow Under My Cross

In the quiet of my prayers I wrestle with my truth Torn between faith and desire Seeking acceptance in the divine

A rainbow flag beneath my cross A symbol of love and inclusion Yet whispers of condemnation Linger in the pews

I long to be embraced By the arms of my Creator To feel His love unconditionally But fear taints my devotion

I am a Queer Christian Navigating the narrow path Between love and judgment Yearning for peace within my soul

I find solace in His grace In the stillness of the sanctuary Where my heart can be free And my spirit can soar

Though the journey is fraught I hold onto hope and faith For I am fearfully and wonderfully made A beloved child of God

Author's Note: This is about my personal experience and religious journey. The uncertainty when I first joined the church and the safety and acceptance that I've found with my current home church. It has a happy ending.

I'm a trans man and a Lapsed Catholic. I grew up as such too, my family completely stopped seeing the church after incidents where the new priests were bigoted queerphobes. I myself got told many times I would go to Hell, that I'm an abomination, I even got a grand-mother suggesting I get an exorcism.

I picked up my faith a bit more than a decade later as I used to live next to a Saint Patrick Irish basilica. I went to the priest since I wanted to find an answer to a friend's question, which led the priest to speak about LGBTQ+ people.

He encouraged every single one of us to nourish our faith. We are loved by God, and those who give threats rather than love do not understand fully the message of Christ. We are to love thy neighbour, and under any circumstance no one has the right to judge nor to turn someone away from their faith. We are always welcomed in the Church, always.

I love you, people love you, God loves you. And we have our place here as His children.

Hey, I'm sorry that I've taken forever to respond to this. This Ask left such an emotional impact on me that I've struggled to form a response.

I am so sorry about the pain you have faced from the religious community. Seeing you, a stranger, show me how you have been hurt is an honor. Not only this, but I relate, and it heals my heart to know I am not alone.

You have put into words things I have only felt in abstraction.

Thank you for your beautiful message. God's love does not abandon.

Figuring Out My Identity Be Like

Brain: Okay, so you DEFINITELY like women?

Me: Yes 🥰

Brain: Alright, and the idea of being with a man *checks notes* is nice in theory, but in practice, you've always hated it?

Me: That is correct ✅️

Brain: And you don't really feel like a girl, or a boy, or both or neither, you're simply existing?

Me: Sounds about right 😇

Brain: You also happen to be a devout Christian who believes that God loves EVERYONE, no matter what?

Me: Absolutely 🙏

Brain: Okay, so that means you're--

Me: A great ally to the queer community and can't wait to have a husband one day!!

Brain: NO YOU FUCKING DUMBASS ENBY LESBIAN--

dear lord,

let me be good. i see the test you have laid out before me. i see my name at the top of the page, written with childish cluelessness. i see that you are putting me through this again. i hope i know what to do now, i pray you will give me answers when i must ask, i beg for the patience i did not have the first time you gave me this issue. i understand now that what happened the first time was my fault, that i caused irreparable pain and suffering to someone who needed love. help me to give all the love that i can, allow me to be as helpful and i need to be, bless me with all the patience you could give me.

amen.

[lightoml]

hey just in case you forgot today, God loves you so much, you are beautifully and wonderfully created in His image, He is delighted in you. being queer will never change that 🩵

Face reveal.

A lesbian who loves to Veil. I have found hope, strength, and trust in the Lord through veiling. I am not sure if I will do this indefinitely but right now I understand its power and its purpose. It is my spiritual umbrella that reminds me that God can lead me out of the storm I am going through this season if I remain strong. I do not know where I am going to go from here. I am rittled with anxiety about my future. For the first time in my life, I have no clue where I am going to be in the next 6 months. For the first time in my life, I am submitting to the fact I have no control over my current situation. I have completely given it up to the Lord. I am protected, and I honor my trust in him.

Additionally, the veil is a representation that I am changing. That God is changing me and my heart. That it is God who is working on me. That I am in a state of metamorphosis. I am undergoing great changes, and I am not ready to be revealed. These changes were brought by God and it shows that I am a work a progress and I let him work through me.

I give my heart up to the Lord who blesses me. It is great to give him thanks and praise. May he continue to have mercy upon me and protect those across the world who most need his mercy.

Glory Be to El Padre El Hijo y Espritu Santo as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be a world without end.

Amen

for all the queer christians out there‼️🫶🏻

(edit: i am now unlabeled BUT this post is still very very important <333)

i have recently come to the conclusion that i am not bisexual and that i am, in fact, a lesbian. it’s taken awhile to get here (three years) and i finally felt okay about it.

i’ve worked through a lot of internalized homophobia, and i feel like i’m finally able to say “yeah, i’m me. i’m a lesbian, and im a christian. we exist and i don’t want us to be silenced anymore.”

i think we need to step up. we’ve let both sides shame us for just being who we are. it isn’t fair and i’m sick of it.

God calls us to love, not to hate.

i don’t know if this makes sense, i’m known to ramble, but queer christians, we need to make a space for us. we need to be loud. because i firmly believe that there are more of us than we think, some are just waiting for others to speak out because they’re too scared to do so themselves.

no more hiding, no more pretending this other side of us doesn’t exist (wether that’s your queer side or christian side)

God loves you so SO much, you hear me? and he didn’t create all of us to sit back and take shit that others throw at us.

we can do something about it. i believe that.
