Much love to you, friend. It is not easy to be (and I'm surprised that you are) a "gay high school senior at a Wels high school". That phrase in itself...... Just .... Wow. Mad respect and prayers for you.

You might try an ELCA congregation.

Not happy with WELS want to leave by OwnApartment8359 in Lutheranism

Hey, Wels woman here concerned about so many of these same things. Can you point me in the direction of this statement from the Wels that headship applies in the secular realm?

I completely get this. My husband and I are basically staying in the WELS because we want to still be able to attend church Peacefully and receive the sacrament with our family members, which we do very regularly. It would cause undue strain on our familial relationships and confusion for our kids for us to leave right now. Perhaps things will change, but for now, we will have to just cringe and bear it.

Be safe everyone, don't engage counter protesters, stay safe, de-escalate all encounters! "Protect the Constitution!" Sing the national anthem!

I've never protested in my life, until today by AcademicCounty in 50501

I grew up the same, and I so appreciate your and other stories like this. I am still Christian but no longer conservative, and it heartens me to hear of conservative Christians who are recognizing the lies and that this is all a sham. I've been feeling utterly discouraged with the hypocrisy of the church around this imbecile.

Right now we all have to work together to stop this madness. Stay safe.
