Unapologetically Christian, Unapologetically Lesbian
by Anita When I wrote that phrase some time ago and as I write this post today I’m thinking of you who believe there’s no such thing as a “Christian lesbian.” You consider the term to be a contradiction of terms but more than that, you regard it an offense to the Gospel. You believe…

The Bible And Homosexuality by C. Ann Shepherd
The Bible has long been used by society to discriminate against, and persecute gays and lesbians. Careful study, however, reveals that while the Bible does condemn homosexual and heterosexual cult prostitution, it says nothing about loving committed homosexual relationships. Jesus himself said nothing about homosexuality, which leads many to believe it was not one of…

Adam & Steve? – A Quick Look At Genesis 5:1-3
We gays often hear that God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Well if God didn’t create Steve, who did? Many gays believe that we were created by God, with the same love that God created Adam and Eve. It is my contention that it is very possible that God did indeed create…

Does the Bible Condemn Homosexuality? Interview with Dr Rev Cheri DiNovo

Paul The Apostle: Did His Homosexuality Shape Christianity?
Struggle against homosexual desire may have inspired Paul the Apostle to write sublime Biblical teachings on unconditional love and inclusivity β and also a few βclobber passagesβ used by anti-LGBTQ bigots.

A Manifesto! The Time Has Come!
I have made a decision. I will no longer debate the issue of homosexuality in the church with anyone.

I will no longer discuss…
