Coming Out Faithful is a safe space for GLBTQ persons of any faith to discuss their faith journey and faith questions around sexuality and spirituality. We let our community members and guests draw their own conclusions. We do not intend to re-write religious doctrine or create a new doctrine for ministry to GLBTQ people. But we hope to give a perspective on the diversity of views that exist, and create a positive, accepting faith community for GLBTQ people to continue to lead a spiritual life without fear and shame over sexuality.
