10 REASONS GOD LOV GAY CHRISTIANS
When I started wrg my new book, God and the Gay Christian, I was well aware that Christians who oppose same-sex marriage the church have long ed the Bible to fend their pot of view. As a gay Christian om an evangelil church Kansas, that stat quo has had a damagg impact on my life, which is one reason I'm settg out to change the flty perspective. Here are 10 reasons why God accepts gay Christians. * christians that support gay rights *
Acceptance of homosexualy is risg across the broad spectm of Amerin Christiany, cludg among members of church that strongly oppose homosexual relatnships as sful, acrdg to an extensive Pew Rearch Center survey of U. Among Christians, this trend is driven partly by younger church members, who are generally more acceptg of homosexualy than their elr unterparts. For example, roughly half (51%) of evangelil Prottants the Millennial generatn (born between 1981 and 1996) say homosexualy should be accepted by society, pared wh a third of evangelil Baby Boomers and a fifth of evangelils the Silent generatn.
At the same time, however, a larger segment of olr adults some Christian tradns have bee acceptg of homosexualy recent years, helpg to drive the broar trend. Regardls of age, seven--ten Catholics – whose church teach that homosexual behavr is “trsilly disorred” – say that homosexualy should be accepted by society, a 12-percentage-pot crease sce 2007.
Most Mormons and evangelil Prottants still say homosexualy should be disuraged by society – le wh the teachgs of many of their church – but 36% of both groups say should be accepted. For example, among members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, the share sayg homosexualy should be accepted by society grew by 12 pots (om 44% to 56%) between 2007 and 2014.

And although Pentestals who intify wh the Assembli of God rema largely opposed to homosexualy, 26% now say should be accepted by society, up om 16% 2007.
