    I'm an affirming Christian, looking for other LGBT Christians to talk to. They don't necessarily have to be affirming - just somehow identifying as Christian (and LGBT) (or Ally)

    Thank you

    By affirming I assume you mean LGBT supportive and inclusive Christian. In which case yes I am.

    I'm a Christian and LGBT. I'll try my best to please God and hopefully he will forgive me when my time comes.

    Hey!! :slight_smile:

    Thanks so much all for responding!! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

    It's so good to hear you guys!! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:


    The main reason I asked is because I have been dreaming of some projects to support LGBT Christians, including some online stuff, and for advocacy and stuff, and I finally started to sort of start :wink: I'm looking to reach out to other LGBT Christians, hopefully some of whom might want to contribute in some way, or even just kind of screen / test / constructive criticize anything I can produce :wink:



    It's really good to hear from you all - I hope we can continue to find ways to communicate and support LGBT Christians!! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: <3


    Peace :slight_smile:

    I'm gay and Christian. It's been super tough growing up. In fact, I just recently came to terms with my sexuality and accepted it only a couple months ago. I was hoping it was just a phase, but as time went on I realized that this is who I am. There's no point in hiding it, so I finally told myself it was okay. I know being gay is a sin according to the Bible, but just know that god loves you.

    That's a matter of opinion TanMan. I could point you to many Christians (I'm one of them) and Christian denominations that think otherwise. It really depends on how you interpret the Bible and how much attention you pay to the history and context in which it was written, and edited.

    I'm pleased you have come to terms with your sexuality and realised that it isn't a phase that you can hide from.

    I've been studying some of the stuff out there about homosexuality and christianity, and some of my FAVORITE stuff is about how its important as followers of Christ to be peacemakers - and to not focus on the divicivness around the issue - but to find ways to bring peace and togetherness to our communities. I've heard a lot of stuff about the importance of building bridges, and of everyone supporting eachother through these difficult times - about focusing on that, rather than anything that pushes us apart.


    I think that's brilliant!! :slight_smile:



    I think it would be great if people could gather in peace, tolerance, and respect around issues of sexual identity and Christianity, and gender identity and Christianity.

    I think it would be great if we all supported eachother through these troubling times, wherever we are at , whereever we are coming from, wherever we may end up.

    I think it would be awesome if we could provide informational resources and such for people to enjoy and study at their own pace if they desire

    but mor ethan that, a Safe and Accepting space that people could talk a bout sexual identity as Christians, and in Christianity, without judgement, with respect, and safety.

    Where any Christians from anywhere on the varies spectrums of Christian beliefs on any issue

    Can have a space where they are welcome and supported to read about and talk about whatever is on their hearts and minds, related to sexual identity or gender identity


    Where we could gather educational and supportive materials


    And just welcome people just to have a safe space t o be wherever they are at in their thoughts about LGBT, as Christians - so we can just all be where we are at and be safe! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:


    I think that is definitely needed, and where we need to be, and where we need to start :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:


    Peace!

    Oh yeah, and, uh, I've being trying to start one already :wink: :slight_smile:



    (I also dream it can be a platform to develop various projects like advocacy projects and other resources :wink:
