Caring members of faith communities are afraid to question queer theology or accidentally use wrong pronouns. Parents of gay kids are catatonic with terror, dread-stricken about their child’s damnable relationship with their Creator. Homophobia is branded on the church that is deemed to practice hate while preaching love. Really?Meanwhile ... gay couples seeking God’s blessing on their marriage are deemed lewd and sinful. Drag queens are cast as the new pariahs endangering our children while the horrors of conversion therapies are forced on gay youth. Non-binary individuals are coerced into one of only two genders, and trans people are vilified for embracing their authentic selves. Really??Amidst all this, where is God? Is there any place in 'religion' for us queer folk? Can we ever bridge the divide? Dear Religion: God Made Us Gay!! is a thought-provoking memoir exploring author Jamie Van’s experience as a non-binary gay teacher who has navigated the challenges of bullying, bigotry, hatred, and religious trauma. Through a series of personal reflections and hopeful letters, they share the encouraging lessons they’ve gleaned from these experiences. A lifeline for both the church and queer people, this memoir affirms queer spirituality through letters of God’s unconditional love, lived experience, and spiritual reclamation.
