Resources for LGBTQIA+ Persons & Allies
The Safe Zone Project Resources has lots of links to informative websites, articles, videos, etc., helpful for understanding one’s own or one’s neighbor’s (you know, that person Jesus asks you to love!) journey with sexuality.
GayChurch.org is a resource for those looking for Open & Affirming churches: those that will not only tolerate people who identify as GLBTQIA+, but nurture and encourage them as they seek to integrate their self-understanding with Jesus’ invitation to discipleship.
