Just ✨dreaming✨ of when we get to be together again to celebrate God's love for us. ❤️ “No one should grow up believing God hates them. No one should grow up rejected by the church. No one should grow up believing that Jesus saves everyone but them.” - Bridget Eileen Rivera
I’m very grateful to Bridget Eileen Rivera (@TravelingNun) for two excellent talks at @ChurchSavior on LGBTQ inclusion and harms LGBTQ Christians experience in the church. Whether you’re traditional, progressive or undecided on these issues, her book Heavy Burdens is a must-read
If you happen to be in the area, stop by to say hello!

South Bend/Mishawaka friends: Just a reminder that Bridget Eileen Rivera (@TravelingNun) is speaking at Church of the Savior tomorrow night (7pm - 8:30) and again Sunday morning (9:15 - 10:15)!
South Bend/Mishawaka friends: Two exciting events coming up at my church (Church of the Savior)! This weekend (9/9 & 9/10), @AmandaHeldOpelt visits; next weekend (9/16 & 9/17) Bridget Eileen Rivera @TravelingNun visits. Details here: cotscrc.org/events/special…
been thinking about this quote from a book I read a few weeks ago and how enraging the experience of any queer person that interacts with a church can be🧵:
“When Christians attach the possibility of hell to conversation about sexual ethics and gender identity, they negate the power of the gospel. It effectively reduces the Christian faith to whether a person believes the right thing about sex." - @TravelingNun

I am working on my book review for Heavy Burdens by @TravelingNun and can’t wait for y’all to read it. But you should read the book instead. Her words are much better
The number of times this verse has been used against me as a queer person, and it’s not even a real verse! 🤯🤯🤯

When a box full of your upcoming bisexual novel arrives at your doorstep on the last day of Pride Month! 🩷💜💙 #GimmicksAndGlamour
Happy Autistic Pride Day! Today (June 18th) is a day that was created in 2005 by Autistic people for Autistic people. It’s a day to celebrate pride for our Autism, and to promote positive change for the Autistic community. What are you proud of as an Autistic person?
My biggest regret in 53 years of ministry is that I didn’t do my own personal exegesis sooner on the 4 passages used to restrict women. Shame on me. I wasted those 4 yrs of Greek in college & seminary. When I finally did my proper “due diligence”, laying aside 50 years of…
Deconverted queer activists: Stop giving in to the conservative rhetoric that queer people can't be Christians or that all Christians are like the church you were raised in. We are here too. Queer and Christian are not opposites. That was a lie they told you. Deconstruct better.
@steamboat28 @CharissaGrace15 @sheblocksidiots @natgrace79 @Nathan_Hawk798 Yep, I think it’s the 1971 RSV that switched back. And according to @TravelingNun, “homosexuals” was a word and concept developed or popularized by secular psychology (Freud), making it all the stranger that the Bible translators used it.

I’ll get slammed for this but it’s been on my heart to say for months. I love you SBC women so much. You were such a privilege to serve. You made me study Scripture 10 times harder than I would have. You gave me room to make so many mistakes and grow. You were my first and…
Sometimes I really want to just say “fine” to those who say I can’t be trans and Christian. Being told you don’t belong over and over and over… at some point you say “fine, I’ll leave”, right? Thankful for those who make space for me. 💜💜💜
Forgive me, but I just can't do the religion where God created the majority (or minority) of people to be tortured for eternity anymore.
@_nomadic_soul Amazing how much younger you look in the 2nd picture! Why were they trying to dress us like 45-year-old women?!
Me when a pastor says ALL of the Adam & Eve account in the garden is prescriptive for how we should live out our lives to morally counter ppl gender transitioning 🤪
@TravelingNun @Simon_BB_8 @desiringGod And the first half is an imaginary scenario with an imaginary child? I can’t.
@desiringGod We've been told so many times that it's in love and even that it's not homophobic. It was real and it has lasting effects on real people.
Any queer person would have been damaged by this content and although folks who love @desiringGod are unlikely to change any time soon, those of us who've left and found safety can at least support each other by articulating that the homophobia we experienced was real
There's an absolutely unhinged homophobic article on the front page of @desiringGod, which I'm not going to pollute your timeline with. But having come from an environment where this stuff was normalized, I find it validating to see there are reasons for the trauma I experience
Just finished the most beautiful service of lament and repentance for the mistreatment and alienation of LGBTQIA+ people by our church and denomination. It wasn't performative, but just so raw where we heard the voices of those who have left. I love my church. So much.
I must for the sake of others to dispel narratives and prove that LGBT Christians are here to stay. Until then, I'll be confidently saying, "I'm asexual," hoping that my story helps you better understand people in your life like me — and maybe even yourself.
People need examples and language to figure out their internal experiences. It's what I needed, but when stigma is attached to people's sexual orientations like my own, that can make it uncomfortable and risky to come out. Nevertheless, it's my time to do so.
Not understanding my experiences was a great source of confusion and turmoil growing up in a Christian context where heterosexuality was all there is — by design and mandate. Our real, lived experiences can be so complex. Uncontainable for the boxes the world wishes to put us in.
Sexual orientation involves far more than just sex. It's a *relational* experience that colors so much of who we are. It's essential to affirm my reality when others attempt to silence or reject it; it's necessary to give voice to my experiences of attraction and love.
... basis of sex and gender, they will need a vocabulary to name that experience and ultimately reclaim their humanity." She adds, "Far from defining themselves by gender and sexuality, they are asking for their full humanity to be acknowledged."
Well, being Christian is everything to me, but it's hardly all I am. And based on the reactions I've seen from the evangelical church toward LGBT people over the last several years, Christians care a whole lot more about sexuality as identity than they let on.
Something I've heard (and have been told in recent memory) is that no one cares about your sexuality. The world doesn't need to know about it. Keep it to yourself. What you feel and desire isn't worth making a fuss over. Christians say, "Isn't your identity in Christ?"
It's #AsexualAwarenessWeek! I'm asexual, which means I experience little to no sexual attraction. I've got a few things in store for this week to explain that further. But here's what some people ask me: Why do I think it's important to mention this as a Christian? (🧵)
I think @TravelingNun says it best in her book Heavy Burdens. "Gay people don't call themselves gay and lesbian because they define themselves by sex. Rather, such language is a response to the sexual stigma of society. As long as LGBTQ people experience dehumanization on the ...
You can’t believe both: 1) The Bible doesn’t have a category for sexual orientation 2) The Bible condemns identifying with your sexual orientation.
