Gay Christian Activism

This page is designed to assist those who are wanting to make a positive change in society and in the church.

There are three common types of gay Christian activism. There is gay Christian activism within the Christian church. Gay Christian activism can be within political circles. Activism can also be taking practical action to help those who are hurting.

Church Activism

In some cases, change can be made by placing pressure on church leaders to bring about change. These efforts, while challenging, can be very successful.

Some changes can be made simply by encouraing those who are doing wonderful things to continue to improve the lives of gay people and of gay Christians.

Political Activism

Some political leaders will act once they know they have the support of many people. Others understand the need for gay rights, but are afraid to stand for what is right, in the face of powerful interest groups. Change can be made when we encourage political leaders to do what is morally and ethically right. For more information on how to change society through democratic processes, visit our Political Activism page.

Our Activism

We believe activism needs to take two approaches. Those who are doing wonderful things for gay people need to be encouraged and supported. Those who are sinning against God and against gay people with their actions need to be held accountable.

We give awards to churches and church leaders who have done wonderful things for gay people. Churches and church leaders who have done outstanding things to assist gay people recieve the "You Make Jesus Smile" award.

We also give awards to church leaders and churches that hurt gay people. Those awards are given to help church leaders and churches realize they have sinned against God and against gay people with their conduct. The award such church leaders and congregations receive is the "You Make Jesus Vomit" award.
