I was taught growing up that being gay was a choice and that I shouldn't ever talk about it because it was a dirty topic. I remember being 7 years old and playing wedding with my best friend while my other friend videoed the "ceremony" with an old flip phone. When my mom found us, we were told to delete it and given a lecture about acting appropriately. I'll never forget the way my mother looked at me with disgust, or the fear in my best friends eyes when my mom mentioned her parents finding out. I'm still a lesbian and I'm still afraid, but I will never let hate stop me from embracing the love I feel.

Im here to tell you just how dangerous this is. My friend was a mormon. At 14 he was sent to a conversion center to help him "work on" his issue. They did horrible, vile things to him in the name of god and what was "right" His family would send him back there several times until the age of 18 when they kicked him out. This is when i first met him. We were close friends very quick. He was so damaged mentally and physically that he used lots of drugs to numb himself. Looking back I would have done things so differently and intervened, tried harder, anything. Just to save his life. 3 months after his 20th birthday he overdosed on heroin and god knows what else. His birthday he seemed so alive for a change and his outlook was brighter. We joked about being able to legally drink in a year. Being that we drank all the time it was quite funny. I talked to him that Friday and he was dead on Sunday. So many things I wish i could've and should've said. Im 38 and I still miss him all these years later

I was still in the closet at that time, so I assumed that's why she confided in me about her disgust at the Supreme Court's decision. Her rationale being that her Church didn't support the LGBTQ+ community and so neither would she. It just made me question if I really wanted to stay friends with her at all.

I told my mom I was Bi, and it didn’t seem like a big deal- however every time we’re watching a movie an woman kiss or men kiss she goes “ew” and tries to say she isn’t prejudice, “she just doesn’t want it thrown in her face.”

@@adaeze4873 If you're trying to help people then you first need to encourage them to believe and want to follow God. You will not draw them in by opening with "this is a sin that come with this consequence", you will only push them away and make them feel like enemies of the whole religion. Also, many other practices that were considered sinful are commonplace now such as divorce, but people have refrained from criticizing it because it is recognised that it is harmful to the persons state of mind and self esteem to be critical of it. Since we all know of someone who has gone through this, we can more easily relate to it, and not want people we feel akin to be harmed by such actions. So why then is it alright to harm the LGBT communities state of mind by criticizing something we feel we cannot change and is good for us even if you personally do believe it's a sin? Is there a double standard regarding some sin? Finally, while you and others may believe it is a sin to be gay, there are sects and Biblical interpretations that do not believe it is like this one: wouldjesusdiscriminate.org . Since we cannot prove beyond a doubt that your belief is any more correct than mine, we are at an impasse where we have to accept God as the only one who can judge and we can pray for mercy and guidance for each other. I would not try to force you to believe as I do and I appreciate it when others treat me with the same kindness. Peace be with you.

But i knew it was a sin.. I did not pray away the gay.. I simply said "Jesus i choose you and will do whatever it takes to have a true relationship with you. I need you to help me change because i cannot change myself".. He not only changed my sexuality but so many other things i had carrying with me. He wants us to willing ask and have the desire to choose him over our sin, no matter what that sin is. He changes..It's called a miracle. but if a person wants their sin and God..

I’m a Christian woman. I define as straight but I’ve been attracted to a non-binary person. I was so confused at that time and very disappointed in myself. I also thought that when I die I’ll go to hell, since God made man and woman and I was attracted to a non-binary person. But then I became more and more educated about the LGBTQ+ community. I became aware that sexuality is fluid and started accepting mine. I also started thinking that God made me the way I am and that he loves me for who I am. It’s been a process but I’ve been to Pride parades twice and I just felt the love and pure joy of the people. I’m in a straight relationship.

Pride discriminates against no one. If homophobic people show up, we ignore, educate or show our pride. I don't understand why people would want to protest pride thought. If the reason has something to do with God being against it, that's not true. I myself am Christian and part of the LGBTQ+ community in many ways. God made us exactly the way we are. He made us perfect. Love thy neighbour. I am happy to discuss this more with you.

“probably one direction” ahhhh, a cultured woman you are.

I myself am a Bi Christian and I have heard and been told that being gay or a homosexual is just the same as being a murderer or a rapist. I used to question, how can I be compared to a murderer for loving someone? I now know that despite what gender, religion, race, sexuality, anything, you are loved and valued. No one can tell you different. You were made to be you, not who someone else wants you to be.

“Probably One Direction” I am cry laughing. I actually had to pause the video.

Oh my goodness. This is such a good video and spiritually challenged me. I know that there is a lot of hurt in the LGBTQ+ Community but my heart broke when I heard their testimonies of abuse and rejection. I completely agree that in order to love people we need to be uncomfortable and spend time with the opposite side of us. Because isn’t that what love is? Even when we disagree we find a ground where we can both appreciate, respect, and truly want the best for that other person. Thank you so much for making this video. This has made a huge impact on me; I deeply appreciate you’re open mindedness and curiosity. Again thank you for making this report.

“Probably One Direction” I LOVE YOU

There is nothing more invalidating than a parent saying they don't care about LGBT rights and safety when you yourself are LGBT.

I think people shouldn't have kids if they aren't prepared to have a LGBT kid, disabled kid, a kid who might go against their religion, a kid who dates outside their race, a kid with different values and opinions, mentally ill kid, etc.. It causes stress on the kid they chose to bring here all because it doesn't sit right with them.

I was a Christian until a pastor pulled me aside and told me I was going to hell for questioning my sexuality. (I’m bi) and he then told my dad to kick me out of the house. I was 17. He told me I was no better than murderers. He compared me loving people to killing people. I can’t believe that loving people is a reason to go to hell... I haven’t been to church since because in Texas where I live there is no lgbt friendly churches near me and I don’t want to be made to hate myself again. I don’t want to feel bad that I am myself. So I don’t identify as any religion but I do believe there is likely a higher power but I am just going to live my best life the way I see fit, not following an outdated book written by people.

Trust me you can be gay and Christian...they arent mutually exclusive. I'm really sorry you were hurt by that evil pastor

I felt the holy spirit just while watching that little snippet of a prayer at the Baptist church. I am a queer christian as well

What a stunning video. I love what you are doing to bring more love and inclusion in the Church. Even though I'm no longer a Christian, I want the Church to prosper and be filled with love.

My Christian friend found out I was atheist, so she encouraged me to replace Jesus, who I had disavowed, with Timothée Chalamet. She told me to worship Timothée Chalamet

I love Grace's work so much. She brings humanity together and forms a unity towards love and faith. It's hard to find queer Christian representation in the religious community, but I'm glad that I've finally found someone to relate to. I have learned a lot, thanks for everything you did Grace. I have a lot of questions on this subject, hope to see more of ur videos !!!!!!!

I hope his parents are not deceiving him like that. He may never trust them again. A really bad experience at conversion therapy camp can require years of therapy to recover. Get as much information about the camp as you can. Ask him to write you a letter using the camps return address. Then you can find out. If it is really a weight loss camp you can relax a little. Either way let him know you will love and support him when he returns.

I’m an atheist lesbian. I’m super fortunate, everyone I know supported me, and I’m very fortunate. I’m happy that my parents have never forced me into this stuff. I’m always very scared that someone is gonna want to do something like that to me, and I have no reason to. It’s just scary to know this truly happens.

I was amazed to see you talking to Jackie Hill Perry. I don’t agree with her, but I feel you both were very honest and sincere when talking to one another. You’re a brave woman to talk to her, and that bigot at the rally.

it's 'love thy neighbor' not 'love thy neighbor unless they are gay' God accepts and loves us all no matter our sexuality or how we identify as. have a good day 🏳️‍🌈❤

God loves us all... he offers that love in the form of forgiveness..... but He doesn't love everything we do. Sin cannot enter heaven.... and all human beings are sinful... the only way to have our sin 'removed' from us, is to be forgiven. And, we can't be forgiven if we don't ask for forgiveness. And the only way to ask for forgiveness, and receive it, is through acknowledgement of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As he said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me"

Idk I think she’s just very confused about Christianity and how serious to take what the Bible says and what preachers say. Divorce has been considered a huge sin in Christianity so to think that divorcing someone... to fake being strait is a holy decision, is once again picking and choosing what to believe in. Bottom line is treat others the way you would wish to be treated, and mind your own business when it’s not your place to judge. If you’re religious you should know well that the only person allowed to pass judgment onto others is god. The only exception in judging others in my opinion is those who are arrested and under trial for crimes.

Yup. I think it's because her message has been taken into the hands of the more extreme side of Christianity and made into something different than what she's saying. I don't agree with her, but I don't think she's a Westboro Baptist type either lol

Aw I love the civil conversation she had with Jackie 💕
