You don’t have to choose between your faith, sexual orientation, or gender. There is enough room for all of who you are. #faithfullylgbt#lgbtq#religion

The world isn’t always supportive of queer people. Some of us have been hurt by our communities of faith or loved ones. Know that you were born whole and still are, even if you feel broken. “God so loved the world...” is talking about you. -Stephane Louis, LMFT (she/her) #LGBTQ
Being #lgbtq+ is NOT a sin. It never was and never will be. No one on this earth gets to speak for or separate you from God. You are loved. You are whole. You are good. #FaithfullyLGBTQ#FaithfullyLGBT
Staying sober, especially around the holidays, can be really hard. Be sure to connect with your community, your self care practices, AA, church, or wherever you find strength and support. You are so loved and you can do this. #sobriety#holidays#lgbtq
Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for wanting to see yourself represented in the world.
💜
Wanting LGBTQ+ representation is not forcing anything on anyone, it’s simply wanting to see reality in the media we consume.
Even though questioning your sexuality can be hard at times, it is also a beautiful, exciting discovery journey. Please be kind to yourself and try to be open to whatever answers you might come across. -Corrine Hennico #questioning#comingout#lgbtq
Re: coming out
You, as a friend or family member, are not required to have all the answers or to even understand what they are telling you. You are, however, responsible for how you respond to their news.

What advice do you have for those who struggle with the #holidayseason? Whether it’s SAD, stress, religion, money, unaffirming family, covid, etc.
I hope you can give yourself compassion, love, and slowness. Take time to care for your needs as much as possible. #Mentalhealth
God has fearfully and wonderfully made each of us and that no gender identity or sexual orientation can disqualify us from the love. -Stephane Louis

Being queer isn’t always easy, but the parts that are good are so good. May you find peace, gratitude, and wholeness in loving who you are 💜
I had been told that if I kissed a woman I wld feel shame & a sense of being far frm God.Only tht’s not wht happened during tht kiss.I was filled w/ peace & an affirmation of rightness.Every1 who told me being gay was a sin was wrong.I felt God’s blessing. https://t.co/NIKNVNIo0g
Journeying with an #LGBTQIA Christian therapist, coach, or spiritual director provides a unique opportunity to work thru issues of faith, church trauma, questions about God & the Bible, as well as navigating the muddy waters of dealing with non-affirming friends & family.
