Christian institutions have not been willing to recognize the crucial importance of figures like you. Even though Jesus openly lived a life that was, in many ways queer, and undoubtedly not heteronormative, nearly all Christian lineages have developed deep adversity, stigma, and, in many cases, outright persecution toward LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities. This is especially paradoxical given the reality that a great number of ecclesiastical Christian figures are themselves repressed or closeted LGBTQIA+ individuals, shaped by systems that demand suppression rather than authenticity. Rather than embracing the radical inclusivity and compassion embodied by Christ, many institutions have instead perpetuated hostility, exclusion, shame, and fear toward those who do not conform to traditional heteronormativ norms. I deeply admire your courage, and I hope your voice can help inspire meaningful change within Christian communities.
