Lesbian responses to Christianity: Positive

There are many beautiful stories of how, despite all the negativity coming from both Christians and lesbians, many lesbians have managed to hang onto, or even find, faith in Christianity, while remaining lesbian.

There are now many lesbians and Christians that are open about both their sexuality and their faith in everyday life, and many more who hold no hostility towards each other in the slightest.

Writing for the popular LGBTQ website, sisterfriends, the article Unapologetically Christian, Unapologetically Lesbian, discusses what it means to be both a lesbian and Christian. The author states that,  'I love being a Christian and i love being a lesbian because for me it's about living a life of wholeness and gratitude for all that God has done through Christ and for all that God is doing in me'. The article strongly presses the need to be true to oneself as a Christian and in ones sexuality, and is an excellent example of how one can be a Christian and a lesbian at the same time, without contradiciton.

It doesn't take long to see the abundance of websites dedicated to lesbian Christians, for example:

• www.lgcm.org.uk
• www.lesbepure.com
• www.sisterfriends-together.org
• www.christiangays.com
• www.eflgc.org.uk

Or even to find lesbian Christian dating websites, a true sign that being both lesbian and Christian is acceptable and possible...

• www.pinkcupid.com/christian-lesbian-dating/uk/singles.htm

Overall, the relationship between Christians and lesbians is a positive one, which can be seen reflected in the many lesbians that are accepted as part of Christian churches.
