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! 😊💕

So, something I've come to realize, is that I'm not actually genderfluid like I thought I was. I'm definitely a trans guy through and through (he/him), and it's been a little hard for me to come to terms with (thank you traditional gender roles and how that applies to life in the church /sarcasm).

I think, for me personally, I was using the term genderfluid as a way to not have to come out completely. If I believed my own gender to be fluid, that means there would be a part of me that was a woman, and I could go about my life pretending that my individual femininity meant I'm a woman in some way shape or form even though I never really felt that way, and that seemed to be what a few members of my family wanted, and I just wanted to please everyone and not rock the boat.

But I've come to realize I can't keep hiding behind terms that simply don't fit me. I can't lie to myself about who I am, and more importantly, I can't lie to God about who I am, either. He already knows every part of me. He knows my heart and soul, even when I try to hide it. But I think that means He also loves every part of me, even this part -- after all, He is the one who made me.

I'm thankful for my journey of self discovery. I feel like so many things have finally started to connect about me when before I felt like nothing about me made sense. I feel closer to my Lord and Saviour than I ever have, probably in my entire life.

I don't know why God made me or any other person trans (weather they be binary or otherwise) or gay or bi or anything else, but I trust that it's a part of His plan for me, and I rejoice in the truth of His everlasting love.

This Pride Month I pray that all of my LGBTQIA+ brothers and sisters and siblings in Christ feel loved and accepted and confident in not only who they are, but also in the love of our God. He made us exactly who we're meant to be, even if our journeys look a little different next to other Christians. I pray everyone stays safe, whether you're out marching in a parade or silently celebrating in your heart.

Happy Pride Month! God bless! 🏳️‍🌈💕

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

~ Romans 8:38-39

(That's probably my favorite Bible verse for when I need the reminder that nothing can make God stop loving me, and I'm sure other LGBTQIA+ Christian's could use the reminder, too ❤)

Hey, op! I just wanted to say really quick that your blog is such an encouragement to me. I am also trans and a Christian, and navigating my relationship with God has been an interesting journey. I was told for so long that God said being queer was a terrible sin and that God's Word is perfect, so there must be something wrong with me. But the more I read His Word, which is perfect in every way, I have learned that instead of condemnation, He offers me unconditional love, both in word and spirit. It's so amazing to see someone who has a strong relationship with God who in turn fully loves who God made them.

Hi Anon!! 💕

I'm so glad that you like this blog so much! It means a lot to me to know that other LGBTQIA+ Christians can come to my little corner of the internet and have a safe space to go and find encouragement. Thank you so much! 🥺💕💖

It was a long journey to loving myself as God made me, not gonna lie, but once I got there and let myself separate from the idea that who I am is a sin, it was like my heart was fully open and I was truly rejoicing for the first time, you know? It felt like coming home. I hope you and every other sibling in Christ has found or will find that same feeling.

God Bless, friend!! 🤗💝

I was NOT prepared for the amount of gender envy I would feel from Jesus and his disciples in The Chosen

🌟 Merry Christmas! 🌟

It's been a hot minute since I've been active on this blog, but I really wanted to wish everyone a blessed and merry Christmas! I hope and pray that this season finds you warm, safe and happy, and should this season be full of sorrow, pain and uncertainty for you, I hope and pray that you find comfort and love, not just in the promises of our Lord and Savior, but in grace shown by others to you, and you to yourself. Merry Christmas everyone, and happy New Year! ❤️
