The blog argues that many churches have failed LGBTQ+ people by prioritising condemnation over grace and by relying on shallow or unexamined interpretations of Scripture. I argue that biblical texts should be read in their historical, cultural, and linguistic contexts rather than at face value, especially when discussing sexuality and gender. I argue that LGBTQ+ identities are innate, natural aspects of human diversity, supported by personal testimony, history, and scientific evidence. Throughout, I’m appealling to the character of God as revealed in Jesus—marked by love, compassion, inclusion, and dignity—and concludes that Christian theology should be re-examined in light of these values, leading churches toward a more affirming stance.
