Queer people offer just as much to any church or fellowship as any straight or cis person. Arguably, we bring more to the table, having to go through hardships not understood by those outside of the queer communities.

Queer people are necessary in the church and God wants us in the church.

I want to clarify: Church doesn’t just mean that building or organization down the street. A church is any fellowship of Christ followers looking to better the world by bringing love and healing as Yeshua (Jesus) did. When Yeshua birthed the church on the cross, they didn’t just create specific organizations of people defined by the state. No, they brought us places to discuss God freely, surrounded by other believers, doing our best to understand God in our own lives.
For as Matthew 18:20 (NIV) punctuates: “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Therefore, from this perspective of the church, queer people have so much to offer. You are needed and wanted in the church and the world, for God has declared it so.

Go out and be Beloved!
