A Message to Queer People Hurt by the Church.
I don't know if I am in a place to do this, however I would like to apologise on behalf of Christians everywhere for our treatment, present and past, of the LGBTQ+ community.
I have faced homophobic discrimination at the hands of my churches under various justifications. None of it was okay. None of it will ever be okay.
Homophobia is hate. Transphobia is hate.
Jesus taught love. Jesus teaches love.
Love is love. Love comes in many forms. If you cannot see that, and choose to hate on those for whom they love, while still saying you're Christian, kindly, get your head out of your crusty asshole and read the bible.
LGBTQ+ Christians; I see you, I love you, and I am praying for you. Jesus loves you. God, in all their beautiful forms, loves you. You were made in God's image. You do not need to change for anyone.
Nga mihi
Hello!
My name is Theo, and this is my blog, where I share my faith and experiences as a Christian and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community 😊
Here's a bit about me:
I'm a trans man and my pronouns are he/him/his
I'm gay/mlm
I'm Lutheran, and was baptized when I was 16
My favorite color is yellow, my favorite seasons are autumn and spring, and my favorite Bible story is the story of Esther!
God bless! 😊💕
AHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED!!!
I just had a meeting with my Pastor and I'll be recieved into my new Church this Sunday!
BUT THEN he said, "I was looking over your paper about ways you would be interested in serving the Church, and I have an opportunity for you, if you want it." And he told me about a Bible discussion group the Church wants to start with some of the teens in the congregation! It's a more group lead type Bible discussion, but they need a facilitator to help and guide the discussions, and Pastor thought that I would be a good fit because of how close I am to their age and how I want to become a teacher! It probably helps that I used to help with Children's Church back in my old congregation, too, but I've never worked with teenagers before, so this is a bit new for me!
We don't have a start date yet and it's on Zoom so I have to learn how to use that but some people already said they would give it a try.
I'M SO EXCITED!!!! 😁😁😁😁
How does one politely tell their choir director that they will not be attending the practice in between services because the church Christmas breakfast is happening at the same time, and there will be puppies there, and you will be playing with the puppies instead? Asking for a friend.
