Gay and religion

Attitudes toward homosexuality have been found to be determined not only by personal religious beliefs, but by the interaction of those beliefs with the predominant national religious context—even for people who are less religious or who do not share their local dominant religious context. [6].

The anthology Gay Religion, edited by Scott Thumma and Edward R. Gray, has been the top resource for this compilation. It aims to "give a straightforward presentation of the spiritual lives, practices and expressions of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons.".

LGBTQ+ individuals often have complex and diverse connections with religion and spirituality, even in the face of structural stigma and prejudice rooted in religious beliefs.

Your relationship with religion is completely up to you! The Trevor Project offers advice and LGBTQ+ friendly resources for religion.
