Hello all! My partner and I are planning to purchase our first home at Fieldstone in Richmond. Currently, I am a member of an affirming congregation near Cypress, but they are moving farther away. My mom goes with me, and we drive from inside the loop out to Barker-Cypress/290 area. Since my spouse and I are moving to the burbs (with Richmond being the most convenient for both of us), I am looking for any gay approachable or gay affirming Christian churches in the area. I am Lutheran and my partner grew up Episcopalian, but isn't practicing. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!! |

Sorry... This is the blurb in the website I meant to paste. It went to the main page, which is good too! It is a common media misconception that an attitude of acceptance and love for LGBT people and a sincere belief in the message of Jesus Christ are mutually exclusive terms. However, if you look at the number of people in the country that identify as Christian (78 percent) and the number of states that have embraced same-sex marriage and other matching rights for LGBT people you will quickly see that that idea is a statistical impossibility. Plenty of Christians tolerate, adore, and respect LGBTs as equals, just as many LGBTs are people of faith. As luck would have it we live in the most diverse city in the United States, and the only one of significant size that sports an openly queer mayor (who is also cold enough to honor a transsexual metal musician with her possess official day, so there). Those who want to bask in the church-y goodness of God's Love have plenty of options. Or at least ten. See also: Mayor Parker Honors Plan Armageddon's Alexis Hollada With a Day 10.
