We want LGBT Christians, and all people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered to know that not all Christians believe your sexual orientation is a sin. We welcome you into our church, and there are many Christians out there who would be happy to include you into the family of Christ.

If you are here to comment about your disagreement, please do not waste your time. This video really isn't directed to you. It is directed to the many, many people in the LGBT community who have been ostracized and think there is no church home that will accept them and love them for who they are.

If you are looking for a local "gay friendly" church, here is one resource that may help:
http://gaychurch.org/list-churches-by-state/

We also recommend contacting your local LGBT community center if there is one available to you.

Hi,

I'm The Rev. Rhonda McIntire, and I've been an Episcopal priest for 17 years. I wear this red feather boa on a float that my church -- San Gabriel the Archangel in Corrales, New Mexico -- sponsors in the Albuquerque Pride Parade every summer.

I've been in love with Jesus all my life. With God's grace, I've been gifted with the certain knowledge that Jesus loves me unconditionally -- and that he loves everyone else the same way. Even though others might, Jesus will never let us down.

My being loved by Jesus causes me to be a straight ally for my LGBT sisters and brothers, advocating every way I can for marriage equality. For me, it is about the respect and dignity and fairness I believe Jesus wants for all people.

The Baptismal Covenant in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer is the framework of our tradition. In it, two key questions are asked of those about to be baptized and of those who are already baptized as they renew their vows:

"Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?" and
"Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?"

If a Christian answers, "I will, with God's help," then how can that Christian possibly not support fairness for all people?

Blessings.

Hi. My name is Nick. I'm 25 years old. I live in Antioch, CA, a suburb in the San Francisco Bay Area. My wife and I have been married for 2 ½ years. I am a Christian, and I don't believe that homosexuality is a sin.

I am an actor, and this summer I was in the most important production I have ever been a part of. It was a stage reading of excerpts from the CA Supreme Court hearing of Proposition 8. As a Christian, I was nervous about doing this play. I was afraid to tell some of my family and church family. I was afraid that they would judge me. I was afraid that they might think that I am going to hell.

Then I remembered the character, the real person, that I was portraying in this play, Ryan Kendall, who was raised in an evangelical Christian home, and he was sent to a "Reparative Therapy" after his mother found his journal where he had written that he was gay. Ryan's mother told him that she wished that he had been born with Down Syndrome instead of being gay. She told him that he was going to burn in hell. In the hearing Ryan said that he had to leave "Reparative Therapy" or else he wouldn't have survived, because quote, "I probably would have killed myself.

Ryan's story, is way too common. And not everyone is a lucky as Ryan to have had the strength and ability to get out of that situation and survive. My nervousness about doing a play promoting equal rights, is nothing compared to the pain that so many LGBTQ people feel every day, because of what people like Ryan's mother have said to them. The least that I can do, is add my voice to the voices many other Christians saying, "We're not all like that."

Many Mainline Christians, that's Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, are in support of marriage equality and are open and affirming towards LGBTQ people. And Evangelical Christians are coming around. There are more evangelicals everyday saying they believe in equality. The tide is turning. We are moving forward.

I originally wanted to talk about all the reasons why Christians should be open and affirming, why people haven't been putting the "clobber passages" from the Bible in their proper historical context, and I also wanted to say why I believe that Jesus is with LGBTQ people, but I'm not speaking to Christians with this video and I'm not trying to convince LGBTQ people of how great I think Jesus is. I don't want this to come off as, "Hey, look how great Christianity actually is. You had it wrong. Take a second look and come be a Christian." All I have to say is that everyday, there are fewer and fewer Christians who are against you, and more and more people who are on your side, and that is something to feel hopeful about.

Add your voice to the chorus: submit your own NALT video!
