it seems that we mostly talk about gay men with major role in their local church. do we know if they also had a discourses about christian lesbians ? did women allowed to lead local church at that time ? or even now ?

it's interesting because when you think about gayness and church, you don't really think about self-acceptance in this way. usually around me, it's because the church wasn't able to approve this part of your identity that some friends left the institution.

it seems that the rules in the American Catholic Church are more liberal than in Europe or at least in France ? with many differents schools of thought. and way more easier to create your own. this particularity seems to have a specific role in the high number of "gay-identified churches" at that time, in comparaison with other countries for exemple.

I agreed. In the city I live, Marseille, young queer people from different religions or spiritualities created a collective named Prière Queer Marseille, with the intention of rethinking rituals. But also because they are religious people who didn't find enough space in queer network to live their religious beliefs.

it is the very first time i heard about "gay-identified churches". does a movement like that exist in France as well ?
