I am glad that there are queer affirming churches now. It is so good for the Christian queers to have a place to go and worship.
But i wish that people would listen to me when I say that the reason I stopped going to church has nothing to do with my queerness and everything to do with me not being Christian.
"We're very accepting at this church! You're welcome to come to our services at any time!"
Great. I wont go to them because im not monotheistic.
"We're an affirming church! We accept the queer community. We have queer-specific bible studies!"
You are still a Christian church and I am not a Christian, so a queer bible study is useless to me, personally.
"We were at pride this year!"
Great! Thats wonderful news for the queer Christians, which i am not.
"Please give our church a chance!"
Respectfully, no. The reason im not going to your house of worship is i do not worship your deity. If it was a universality unitarian church, maybe- but if my choices are Episcopalian and Methodist its kinda like... why would I go there?
