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!

For those still thinking that you can be pro-LGBTQ or a gay Christian and still be a bible believing Christian, you literally can't.

You're either one or the other; not both. Homosexuality is still a sin. It doesn't lead to any amount of human flourishing. Doesn't contribute to the 'survival of the fittest' or any other materialistic naturalistic arguments that could be cropped up.

Sin is still sin regardless if its accepted in the society or not. Do I hate lgbtq folk? Nope, but I know people will call me every evil name under the sun because I point out that they live in sin which so happens to be apart of their identity. Ergo, that makes me look like I hate the person. But I don't!

I just see sin and call it as it is. Do I struggle with sin in my own life? Of course, all Christians still struggle with our out of place desires and selfish quirks but we fight. Not by our own strength but by the strength of God Himself; we do not have the power to resist sin on our own. Even in our own sanctification depends on the Spirit of God; not us.

But at the end of the day, you gotta love one or the hate the other. Which one will you choose? Hint: it's not both.

(I follow from @spocks-got-a-glock)

So I made a sideblog for Christianity stuff.

My religious journey is relatively new and I need a space to talk about it, share my thoughts and potentially reach out to others. I don't think my followers on my main blog are a demographic that would be particularly interested though, so it all goes here from now on. There'll probably be a fair bit of content here about my experience as a trans + gay Christian but I will talk about more general things as well.

Please DNI if:

- you're homophobic/transphobic or align with anything other than Side A of the homosexuality + Christianity debate (I accept side B as a personal choice for LGBT people, though I don't agree with the reasoning, just don't tell others how to live their lives)

- you want to have a debate about my faith or about the existence of God; I'm out of steam

- you're antisemitic or islamophobic, or attack other religions unnecessarily. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Please DO interact if:

- you're a trans/gay/queer Christian, or an LGBT affirming/progressive Christian

- you want to have deep meaningful conversations about theology (while staring into each other's eyes with homoerotic subtext)

- you want to share your favourite Christian music/books/art/films/TV shows. Tell me more!

- you're just curious or want to chat. I'm friendly :)

I wish people realized that the cure to religious trauma isn't inevitably losing your faith. That's how it goes for some people, and for others, it doesn't. I want encouragement in between non-religious people pushing irreligion and religious people pretending religious trauma doesn't exist.

Don't rip people away from faith that gives them hope and makes their life worth living if that isn't what they want

People ruined me, not God

now the thing is, i think the bible certainly can and should overrule the 'real world' in a variety of ways. the year of jubilee overrules systems that keep people trapped in debt and drudgery and sees them as nothing more than fodder for capitalism. the words of the prophets and the letter of st james overrule the idea the rich are entitled to extract their wealth from the bloody and broken bodies of the poor. the Gospel itself, in the words of (IIRC) Dorothy Day, forever destroys any distinction between the 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor, as well as the eternal reign of death over the cosmos forever.

it does not, however, overrule stuff like 'scientific evidence the earth is millions of years old' or 'loving gay relationships exist'

Maybe this is just me being a christian in the good omens fandom, but a lot of people say Aziraphale's arc needs to end with him *entirely* dismantling his religious beliefs and stop following God, and I would disagree (I do have religious trauma, so hear me out 💀)

Yes, it was VERY necessary for him to learn that heaven didn't have humanity's best interest at heart. In fact, the archangels are incredibly selfish. Questioning their morals led him to stop armageddon with Crowley. But as the narrator of season one, God is somewhat mysterious, even cheeky ("a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time"). I don't think we're SUPPOSED to dislike her as a character, but we're meant to question whether heaven is really carrying out her plan.

I often see heaven as the equivalent of a corrupt church; the kind that scares you with hell, says they have power over the bible so you should listen to them, and asks you for donations when they'll probably just spend it on themselves. They're toxic.

Crowley is wise to want to distance himself as much as possible. But I can't say Aziraphale is wrong for wanting to fix it. Heaven existing at ALL isn't the problem, it's the way it's conducted. If they really cared about the earth, they could help people. Crowley saved a girl from killing herself, Aziraphale forgave Maggie's rent, Crowley helped Shakespeare get his plays off the ground, Aziraphale healed Anathema and fixed her bike. Both stopped hell from ending the earth (and heaven orchestrating it). Crowley saved things every time that he was sent to destroy them.

They're constantly doing little miracles, sometimes big ones, while still letting the earth run, where humans can make their own choices and decide what to believe. If heaven was anything like Crowley and Aziraphale, there wouldn't be a system in need of destroying.

I wrote more detailed meta on good omens God here (and my therory on the ineffable plan), but my point is to say that destroying Aziraphale's faith entirely is not the solution. He doubts that heaven is even doing God's work. The end goal for dealing with religious trauma isn't always letting go of your belief in God (that's okay if it is!) but many of us need to deconstruct toxic ideas taught by toxic churches. Some people wouldn't survive without their faith. And FAITH in God isn't the problem, people misrepresenting God in order to devalue, shame, and oppress others for personal gain is.

Given that she canonically exists in the good omens universe, that means that she created everything. She made Aziraphale, Crowley, the universe, the earth, everyone who went on to create anything else, and life itself. Every moment, every place, every feeling, every choice, and every experience was possible because it was created. She's the reason anything that in the history of time was able to happen at all, good or bad.

God may not tell anyone about her plan, but I have a feeling it's going to be the end result of the series, where Crowley and Aziraphale were a part of it (I could be kidding myself, but that's my theory)

The concept of the "sides" being heaven and hell doesn't work without everyone getting a real choice. Neither Crowley or Aziraphale truly belonged to their respective sides because they were morally against them. Just as heaven needs to be fixed, hell shouldn’t be run by *obligation* to do evil. The good omens book said that many demons just considered it their job ("Go up there and make some trouble")

Thinking back to Aziraphale's line, "But humans...get a choice" makes me think that THAT'S what will change.

It's not "this group is nice. go out and do good" and "this group is bad. go out and do evil", it'll be everyone making choices (whether they want to spread misery and destroy the earth, or truly help better the earth and show people the light in a flawed world). Heaven would have a real job of thwarting evil if they weren't the ones administering it, and maybe that's what Aziraphale will try to change.

(End of essay personal rant!!)

This is for queer christians especially, I know people forget us. My religious trauma comes from homophobia. I have to remind myself daily that it's not a fault of God, but people. It's PEOPLE who harbor hate for what they don't understand, and many use religion to justify their wanting us not to exist. They fundamentally misunderstand the point of following christ, and others have to work to change that.

It may seem like the best solution is to object to christianity entirely, but I find genuine happiness in it despite the bad eggs. I wouldn't be here if not for it, and it doesn't take brainwashing and manipulation for me to be a follower. I want to be. That's the reason I say any of this; for good omens to end on a positive note with God would mean a lot to queer christians. We're often caught between christians that hate gay people and gay people that hate christians, and it's hard for us to accept both parts of ourselves. Good omens helps me love both :) and thats why I relate to Aziraphale as a character

Also. queer christians and non-christian queer people with religious trauma, you're all so valid and cool, I love you <3

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.
