Need for Faith Spaces Affirming LGBTQ Communities
We need more faith spaces that affirm the LGBTQ communities, as highlighted by Baptist News Global.
Born into a Mormon family that later converted to Christianity, religion played a major role in my upbringing. At the age of 10, my family and I began attending a small evangelical church where we would sing, pray and listen to preaching for hours on end.
However, as I began to pay attention to the messages our pastors shared, I realized my childhood church was not a safe space.
Hearing those same sentiments at a young age was what made me realize my childhood church was not a safe space and my so-called “siblings in Christ” were not safe people.
This experience was reinforced earlier this month when the conservative evangelical “King’s Army” spewed homophobia at Londoners, transporting me back to being a closeted queer teenager.
