Coming Out Young And Faithful

Some live lives surrounded by love and support. Others live in constant fear of rejection and violence. Some are actively involved in their faith communities. Others have left their faith traditions behind. These are the stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning teenagers who describe their experiences in their communities and churches. Speaking for themselves in their own voices, young people tell their lives in a fresh, candid and honest manner. They speak of their hurts and hopes. They speak of their vision for themselves and their church communities.

The stories and information in this book, including ministry and advocacy resources, will help individuals and faith communities open doors of affirmation, love and commitment to the needs of LGBT youth and young adults.
