JESUS LOVES QUEERS

Galatians 3:28 LGBTQIA+ affirming progressive Christian blog run by a bisexual trans man with religious trauma. I am not here to debate or convert, but respectful conversation is welcome. ✝️🌈

[faithfulidiot]

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I blog about liberation theology, religious trauma, queer history, and Open and Affirming Christianity.

Disclaimer: I have 0 motivation to convert anyone to Christianity, and I support my siblings from other religions or lack thereof.

Testimony: I left Christianity for 10+ years due to religious abuse that i experienced on a personal and institutional level- from individuals as well as institutions and government. It wasnt until I was in my mid 20s that I discovered Open and Affirming Christianity even existed... After hearing a woman at a protest screaming "Jesus loves queers!" (Hence my blog title)

I learned that God never stopped loving me, even when I needed space. I learned that Jesus loves queers. And nothing in all creation has the power to separate us from God's love.

To find an open and affirming church, either online or in person, I recommend:

Happy disability pride month especially to disabled people who shouldn't be working full time/at all but haven't been able to access any aid to stop working, or support other ppl who also can't work. You deserve a break, proper support, and you are worth so so so much more than your productivity

Tarts with Hearts: Sex Workers in Love will be a fiction anthology of pieces written by sex workers, all including sex worker characters and their love. These stories may be romantic, familial or platonic.

With such a lack of authentic-feeling fiction about sex workers, this book is intended to be a contribution which will spark more sex worker stories. Whether you love a cosy romance, a protagonist suffering a relatable heartbreak, the found family trope, or character studies focusing on family dynamics, there will be something here for you!

Tarts with Hearts: Sex Workers in Love

An anthology of sex worker fiction, by and about sex workers in love.

If this interests you, please share it! The project can only get funded if enough people consider it worth backing, and I'd really love to get sex workers paid. Anything about sex work online gets censored so your sharing means a lot.

When I was younger online, someone made a post that saved my life. They said:

Seeking out transphobia online is a form of self harm.

Through out our lives, we will encounter enough transphobia without our consent, directly and indirectly, that will most likely result in PTSD. My therapist says my PTSD is so bad she compared it to someone returning from war (lmao). It can be debilitating at times and I am learning to manage, but im just happy to have survived long enough to see a good life is possible for someone like me.

I am 30. A lot of the people who were posting when I was 17, 18, 19, 20 are dead now. They arent here to beg you to protect your mental health and tell you the most important thing we can do, for ourselves and our community, is survive and thrive. So I am.

Please protect your peace at all costs.

Proving that transandrophobia exists by exposing yourself to hate for people who are not even engaging in good faith is not worth your life, or the lives of people in our community.

You do not have to take a screenshot of the most hateful thing you've ever seen and share it to thousands of other people who will be distressed and triggered by it too. Tumblr loves to take those posts and mass recommend them.

Do you wonder why? Do you think its to help us or hurt us to blast us with screenshots of new slurs? I think its to hurt us.

Anyway, I love you all so fucking much. Please live 💥

happy disability pride month to mean cripples, nasty addicts, people with down syndrome who arent nice and talk constant shit, wheelchair users that WILL run you over, autists that dont care and arent about to pretend to, people who lie to their psychiatrists, people that sit on the floor in public places with no benches, amputees that lie profusely about "what happened"; to the "noncompliant", the "drug seeking", the "mean", the "difficult" and the "undeserving", and so on and so forth, i love us all and we deserve the world actually mwah mwah

The issue of trans women being sent to men's prisons isn't brought up as being a monstrous thing because of the misgendering, it's monstrous because we're sent there to be legally sex trafficked.

That's what V-coding is. That is why they are so adamant about sending trans women to men's prisons, because sex trafficking trans women within the men's prison system is an essential part of that system. Being misgendered by this isn't even an issue that's on our radar!

[laceyembrace]

holy shit, to say it "keeps the violence rate down", when these women are being violently raped. aka they dont count it because they dont care when it happens to trans women.

[ID: a screenshot of a comic speech bubble. The black text in it reads "No matter how open-minded, socially conscious, anti-racist I think I am, I still have old learned hidden biases that I need to examine. It is my responsibility to check myself daily for my stereotypes, prejudices and, ultimately, discrimination." /ID end]

antiracism is a constant process. i was raised in a racist village and it's not easy to get rid of it. i moved away over 10 years ago but those ideas are still haunting me.

[genderkoolaid]

also keep in mind that shame + guilt are not conducive to growing as a person. when it comes to "checking yourself" it should be a non-judgemental process. it's not about flagellating yourself for every bad thought or trying to purify your mind of all corruption. it's only when acknowledging your own racist thoughts doesn't fill you with dread that you can really progress past the white guilt of it all.

radical self-acceptance & genuine self-critique are not opposites. they need each other. do not let obsessive-compulsive behaviors colonize your desire to grow as a person.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

To those who pray for God to make them cishet...

To those experiencing religious/moral OCD around their sexual orientation or gender...

To those who fear they have been separated from God's love due to being LGBTQ...

To those who experience/fear shunning from their church community...

I love you, and I am convinced with all my being that God loves you.

Open and affirming churches do exist. There is likely even one in your area. If not, most churches do have online services. You can find one at gaychurch.org
