Looking for fellow gay Christians

[font=&quot]It's been quite a while since I have been here, and I know I have missed much. But I am curious. Are there any other gay Christians here like myself? I am always looking for more people to talk to, and as I don't have many gay friends to talk to, let alone Gay Christian friends, I decided to look for more.

We gay Christians are hard to find, mostly because many gays are driven away from organized religion and usually assume that since we can find few Christians that will accept us, then all Christianity must be like that. But for a select few of us, we seem to have created our own sub religion in Christianity. For those of us that are actually able to find others like ourselves, the sudden feeling of belonging, love, peace, and acceptance is a wonderful experience.

So, are there any others at this site like me? I am open to talking to basically anyone. And, I will also leave a link to a site where you can find other gay Christians in case you are searching.[/font]

I was raised in an extremely liberal Catholic church which I rather liked until I was 14-15, but still hold fast to a lot of Christian ideals. The thing is...the most liberal, accepting Christian principles are those that are the clearest to see in the Bible.


So...I'm not a Christian, as you predicted, driven away by organized religion. But I may return someday.

 

im a christian and i like naked men can i have both i dont know but i cant change who i am in iether way so guess ill just have to live with those things in the bible that tell me im a bad man just not when im in bed with my favourate boys

 

I'm definitely Christian, and I'm definitely gay. And I'm still looking for a place to belong. Sometimes I just want to throw the whole religious junk away and be done with it, but I honestly can never bring myself to do that -- I love God way too much.

To be honest, although I've always been wanting to meet someone like me, I also have been relieved that I hadn't met anyone like me. Because if someone understood, then that would mean they'd have had to gone through the same things I had to.

Of course, now that I've read this, that's changed a lot. I'm glad to see there's a community in place for this already, though...

I wouldn't mind having a nice chat with you. If you're interested, of course.

 

I want to share a story to other gay Christians about when I came out to my grandma. Her life is completely based around her church, she volunteers there, works there, studies the bible there, all of her friends are from her church. She's deeply active in her church community. When she found out I was gay she told me that she loved me no matter what and that she believes God made me the way I am and that he loves all people, including gays, and that the Bible is not against gay people. She is a First United Methodist and I used to go to that church when I was little and the people there are very gay friendly, very community-oriented, and very nice people overall. That is the only Christian denomination that I ever had experience with so I was actually shocked to find out that a lot of people don't think Christianity is okay with gayness. But I want anyone out there to know that it is possible, there are plenty of churches who are gay supportive and that it's important not to interpret the bible as saying you are a bad person. There is debate on what the bible really means in many passages and that is up for you to decide, but basically don't take it for face value, because that is not in the spirit of Christianity. The history of Christianity is to be involved in your faith and study the faith and the history behind it. At least this is how the church I grew up around was, and I have totally positive feelings towards this church. I'm actually not Christian, but it's not because of anything to do with gays, I fully believe that Christianity is fine with gay people. I simply found a different spiritual path. But I have positive feelings toward Christianity and I really don't like hearing people automatically think that Christianity is against gay people, because it's not. Some people are against gays, but Christianity is not.
