Progressive queer churches in America distinguish themselves by being LGBTQ+ welcoming, accepting, and affirming.
They use the term "open and affirming" to acknowledge the respect and love LGBTQ+ people deserve from God, regardless of their identities or whom they love.
Queer churches like Sunshine Cathedral Church embrace the idea that everyone is a Divine Child of God and treat all individuals equally.
These churches celebrate queerness as a gift and prioritize authenticity, going beyond mere acceptance.
Progressive queer churches strive for equity, aiming to provide individuals with what they need and acknowledging that some may require additional support.
