Did you know that Christ died for non-straight people as well as for straight people, on the cross? Yep! He died for everybody! Bless you my friend and do not let anything come between Him and the work you are doing for Him! (I am straight btw, and you are right: I cannot even start to comprehend the struggle you guys are going through).

I told a small group of people I was gay at church today and I got overwhelming support

I needed this so much I cant even explain. I just wanted to die for the longest time because i thought i was broken, that my life was worthless and there was no point trying to start over because "my sinful thoughts" would never go away. I've had anxiety attacks and nightmares and times i felt like God never loved me and wanted to burn me. No one should ever have to feel like that, thats not what God wants for anyone i dont care who says otherwise. Im literqlly crying thank you again for this it means so much to me.

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

I'm slowly accepting who I am because I really thought I wasn't into girls, but really I was just scared of what people would think of me. I've broken up with many of my old girlfriends because I felt so scared and bad, and I didn't want to keep it from people. But now I'm talking to a girl I really see myself dating, when she's ready for it. I'm gonna for as long as I need to because I really, really like her. But I'm gonna let my family know when I'm ready. Not just yet, but I will someday. This video really helped!

I'm bisexual but christian and I've always been scared jesus would send me to hell but now I feel alot better!💖

As a Bisexual, this helped a lot. This helped me know that I am not the only one out there who is going through what I am. As a kid, I wondered if God would except LGBTQ+ into heaven. It always confused me, and this video helped me understand. Thank you, and bless your soul 🤍🙏🦋

I think it's only bad if you get far away from God I'm gay and Christian and I love Jesus so much! But sadly some Homophobic Christian keep saying to gay people that they are going to hell so some gay people got far away from God and started to hate him :( But I love Jesus so much!! ❤️ Spread Love not Hate❤️

I'm reading the comments and im crying... We exist. We are not alone. And god loves us so much..

I'm not gay, but I am finally learning to become an ally in the church. Your videos help toward that end, thanks, Brother! And I'm definitely going to read your book, Torn!

Being a Christian isn’t defined by your sexuality or gender. It’s your faith, trust, and love. God loves you! Stay safe 💗💗💗 Happy pride!

I get it from all sides. Christians and atheist. It's exhausting. But I get a lot more annoyed with Christians because at the end of the day, God makes no mistakes

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that you cannot be gay! This was something that was man made for their own personal beliefs. Just have a relationship with Jesus and you’ll find your personal answer for where HE wants to guide you.

I'm bi and christian. Finally starting to accept myself.

I'm struggling to deal with Christianity after finding I discovered I'm bi

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! I caught myself today in deep depression overthinking to myself if God still loved and accepted me for being gay. I love God with everything that I have & im just afraid that he dosent approve of me liking the same sex & makes me wonder if I’m single for that reason 😔

This means a lot to me as a nonbinary person who is not yet out to my family. I accepted Christ into my heart when I was very young, and when I later discovered I was nonbinary many years later, it was very difficult to find a balance between my faith, what my Christian family had told me all my life, and the undeniable truth I knew about myself. Still is sometimes. I feel I cant live the rest of my life pretending to be something Im not, but I fear that my family would not see things as I do. I have to learn to trust God even though Im afraid. Im not ready to come out to them, and yet I wish I could be there for any other struggling trans and nobinary christians. Seeing you speak up about this warms my heart, and gives me hope for the future. Thank you for being able to share your faith and identity, it really does help those of us who struggle.

I needed this soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! I am literally crying because you are soooo right! This made me subscribe to you because I just- thank you!

Thank you for your videos! Theyve made a HUGE impact on my sanity!! Love and blessing Justin

well said.......there is no sin in being gay, only in being homophobic. I do wonder if you can be a homophobic christian.

Thank you for this. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I love this girl. But I love god. Everyone I meet is homophobic and tell me that being gay is a sin. I don’t feel alone anymore. Thank you.

Try being Trans and Christian where the pain of denying who you are can cost you your life. What saved me was that I knew God knew my heart. Pointless to deny myself. Isn't this what grace is for, covering the things you cannot change.

Just discovered your channel. I commend you for sharing your story and 'putting yourself out there.' Your message is deeply needed! How I wish I had you to help me through the gay+Christian struggle when I was young! God bless you, Justin. I pray your speaking and writing will reach a wide audience, and change hearts and mind.

This is one of the best talks. I learned something. God bless you!

I came to this video thinking I might be gay. Turns out I just have HOCD but I am straight, but this video is still a great help to me regardless! I struggled with a flaw I thought I had found in Christianity, I wondered how god could create people and also send them to hell because of their sexuality that they’ve had since birth, and this video has answered that question. He doesn’t! God loves all! Have a great day my friend

Please help... I've watched videos and some people say it's ok to be gay and then people say it's not.. And I'm scared I don't wanna go to hell for being bisexual... My parents hate people that are gay.. I'm scared. So much.

It would be nice if we could just stop "Coming Out of the closet". Coming out stories are great but not necessary. LGBTI youth should *Just be*

Thank u so much for this 💖🙏🏾

Thank you this video helps me out a lot

Thank you! I get hate comments saying no you can’t be both. But I am so... well thx this was helpful

I loves this video and im pansexual i think this was very impactful i loved this

Thank you for this video

bro literally these comments are my happy place... like my mom accepts me but idk . i honestly dont know if im going to heaven or not i heard so much stuff idek. like i love God i grew up on him idk how i ended up Gay, like im just attracted to girls and i tried to stop so i wouldn't feel guilty but idk im scared

The Lord poured out his Spirit on me as a gay man. He didn't require me to be straight before I was baptized. He made no other demand of me then that I should trust him. Same requirement for everyone else. See Acts 10 for the reaction of the apostles on how they reacted when the Lord poured out his Spirit on a group of people they, as first century Jews, thought he would not save.

Just ran into your channel. I love your nuanced approach to this topic and hope to learn more from your videos! The "big tent" approach to Christianity is what Jesus wanted. This is the only way forward IMO.

Omg thank you so much!! I think this is the sign I was asking God everyday in my life I've been praying and reading bible and I was asking him if being gay is a sin and if I'm going to hell? And I said that God give me a sign please if being myself is a sin? I hope this is the sign from God!

Thank goodness... I needed to hear this. I've been so insecure and depressed and trying to be straight for awhile, I grew up always hearing my guardian/Grandma say "God made girls to like only boys" "God only made two genders" "Trans people are bad" I'm sick of it, thank you so so so MUCH❤❤❤

You are so approachable, Justin! This is wonderful.

Is it ok if I support gay and lesbian people and I’m a Christian

Hi Christian gay Justin! I have loved you for-ever! I am so happy to talk with people about my gay Christianity [or my Christian gaiety!]. I am 69 y.o. and been a Christian for about 32 years and never felt I had to be ashamed or embarrassed even to let church leadership know. I even gave my testimony more than once. No one had a heart attack. After 3 church memberships, I went through every attitude from "Just stop doing it!" [Though I wasn't doing anything.] to "Let's call it same-sex-attracted, not gay!" [huh?] and am attending a very loving, "non-condemning" church [Come up with your own definitions of that!] We're dwindling in attendance and are deciding to change the music [It's never the pastor, is it?!] in order to embrace millennials. Now I'm about to embark on an urgent mission with a straight millennial to open the hearts of our congregation to the idea of "nuance!" Can't wait to read your book! We will never forget GCN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this. I've been raised in a Christian home that does not support LGBTQ+. My entire family makes jokes about it, saying that in their time they knew how to keep them in the closet. Saying that if your LGBTQ you're going to hell. I'm a closeted non-binary and bisexual, but I feel I can't come out to them. That they can't except me for who I am. Every time they say "She" I can just feel a little part of me break. I'm so tired of being closeted, but knowing if I came out I wouldn't be excepted. This life is so tiring. I've been trying to find proof and videos saying that it's okay to be LGBTQ+ and Christian, thinking that maybe if I found enough videos, and proof, that maybe I could change their minds on me going to hell. I've been desperately praying for an answer, wether it's okay or not. This makes me feel a bit better, that's it's okay. Sorry this was long, I just needed to rant a bit since I can't tell anyone else yet.

Love this! Love you! ❤️ So clear! And I truly appreciate explaining the terms. “Gay” being defined as external behavior is usually what keeps so many walls up in our faith communities. Gay is about orientation and design (not a choice), not behavior (which is a choice).

i love this so much

I'm a gay christian, love God and proud!

We are big Justin Lee fans! :)

Justin, very interesting topic, would you able make another video about Sodom & Gomorah story from your perspective, Thanks

I’m a bisexual and I am Christia thank you 😊

I’m non-binary and nomin-sexual and this is so helpful for me!

Beautiful! Thank you Justin!

At least I’m not alone

Lots of love to you and this crucially important ministry, Justin.

😭thank you

Guys support me In our Declamation program I'm gonna talk bout LGBTQ Community I hope no one cancels me and that's the day I'm gonna come out too 😊❤️

It’s nobody’s Business which are sexual orientation as that’s between you and God why debate this?

Lol yes I'm a Gay Christian" aswell ❤🙏 I have respect an love the Lord but I've been Bi sense i was 8 or 9 so yeah Straight folks just don't understand my brother 👌

Amen brother well said

This explains very little. You jump over just about the most integral part of the gay Christianity debate - can gay people have gay sex without being made to feel like they're sinning, or feel pressurised into being celibate. I don't disagree with you that not all gay people are sexually active for a variety of reasons. But you've essentially just skipped past the elephant in the room as though it were nothing more than a swarm of midges.
