HUFFINGTON POST | GAY VOICES
By Kittridge Cherry
Visions of a queer Christ are on the rise as Easter approaches this year -- because the conventional Jesus is no longer enough. Christ's story is for everyone, but lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people get excluded when conservatives use Christian rhetoric to justify hate and discrimination. Every community presents Jesus in their own way. There is black Jesus, Asian Jesus, female "Christa" -- and now queer Jesus to set people free and heal some of the damage done in Christ's name. Many, including me, see the queer Christ Jesus as a blessing that builds faith by embodying God's wildly inclusive love for all. Others attack our ideas as blasphemy. [link]
