Growing Up Queer in a Christian Home as Told by Mean Girls

Many kids grow up in Christian homes; some leave their ties behind, while others stay. Still, the experience of coming out as LGBT in a Christian home is unique. One that can only be told through Mean Girls GIFs.

Here's the story of being LGBT in a Christian home:

When straight pastors dwell on LGBT things.



When straight Christians tell you how to handle your sexuality.



When straight Christians get all up in your sex life.



When straight Christians force their interpretations of scripture on queer people.



When Christians try to “save” you from your sexuality.



When Christians invite you to bible study but you know it’s really an intervention to your sexuality.



How you feel being the only queer at youth vespers.



When Christians introduce you as “same-sex attracted."



When they say you can’t be LGBT and Christian.



When there’s a conference on “homosexuality” but all the speakers are straight.



When Christians ask how many LGBT persons the church has hurt.



We know how to handle these types of Christians.



Just kidding they’re our family in Christ. XOXO
