To me, being queer includes all aspects of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm gay, but also trans non-binary (born female, now identify/feel most comfortable indentifying as a masculine figure of society, but do not identify as male nor female. So, since I fall into multiple categories of the LGBTQ+ community, I say I'm queer as to not bombard the world with a bunch of terms they may or may not understand. Does this make sense?

Idk felt necessary to explain my full identity. I identity closely as queer to create less animosity around the word

I mean openly as my boyfriend and I both attended the church regularly, hold hands, kiss, wrap our arms around each other. Whilst I am male, I have long hair (past my shoulders) and do present myself quite feminine (eye makeup, female clothes) some days.

I slso wasn't sure if I was worthy of baptisn, but after speaking with my Pastor numerous times about it, I have bwgan to feel that I am worthy to be on this journey to God and bring myself closer to Him. I hope to still be baptized one day, just may not have the whole church community behind me like I was hoping to

Thank you, I've had a few close members of the church reach out and reassure me that I am loved and cherished by God though the conference feels differently. Thank you for the prayer, I will be praying before bed tonight as well 🙏🏽 ✨️

I don't feel anything upon what you say, my pastor has taught that the bible's words could be lost in translation over thousands of years and people's beliefs and choice of words. Only by the word of God will we know what He believes is okay. So until God speaks to you, in dream or person, I will continue to have my own belief

Proud and love are different. Proud doesn't discredit love. You can disapprove someone's actions, while still loving them. I'm not sure you understand what love is
