Still Stace: My Gay Christian Coming-of-Age Story
Is it possible to be gay and Christian?
Stacey loves being a Christian. Her best friends are also her church friends. Her favorite place on earth is Bible camp every summer. And she talks to God like they are old friends.
But one summer, she meets a girl who turns everything upside down. Is this feeling she has for her more than just friendship? Could it be a crush? Filled with dread, Stacey embarks on a journey to discover what it means to be gay, whether it is possible to change, and how to reconcile her identity with her faith. Will it even be possible?
In this young-adult illustrated memoir, Stacey Chomiak tells the true story of her teenage and young-adult years: of heartbreak, family conflict, trying to become ex-gay, wrestling with her faith, and finding love. Uncovering happiness and joy while surrounded by the loneliness of a world that actively excludes her seems insurmountable. Until she learns to love her full self. Then the possibility of being both gay and Christian seems not just possible, but the best answer of all.
"What a beautiful, vulnerable book! By telling her own coming-of-age story with honesty, heartbreak, joy, and whimsy, Stacey gives hope to every faithful LGBTQ+ kid who loves Jesus and yearns to find a path of both flourishing discipleship and love. What a gift." - Sarah Bessey, author of A Rhythm of Prayer and Miracles and Other Reasonable Things
Still Stace is charming, accessible, and beautifully illustrated--but it isn't afraid to tackle the real challenges faced by so many LGBTQ Christians. For those with similar experiences, this story is a powerful reminder that they aren't alone and that there's hope on the horizon. For people of any orientation, this lesson in unconditional love is not to be missed." - Justin Lee, author of Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate.
