What type of Christian organizations are available to gays? Are there certain denominations that are more open to gays, or is it a function of an individual pastor, priest or minister?

Many Unitarian Universalist congregations, some United Methodist churches and other liberal religious groups are using the label ‘open and affirming’ to signify that they not only tolerate but actively welcome and support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered folks, and actively work for justice for sexual justice and les/bi/gay rights. Blessings on your quest.

I loved the heart of the question. I saw a searching heart. Yes, there are churches that are open and affirming to gays. But the real quest for your search should be churches that teach biblical truth. Is homosexuality sinful? Yes, along with adultery, murder, stealing, lust, etc. Romans 3:23 says we’re all sinners. Does God love heterosexuals more than homosexuals? Certainly not. He loves each of us perfectly. He sent His Son Jesus to die for all of our sins. Joy is found in trusting the God of the Bible. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). Read the Bible and trust Christ alone for salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Don’t find a church that accepts homosexuals. Find a church that accepts the God of the Bible. He loves you and wants a relationshp with you. In His love you will grace and forgiveness and He will begin the wonderful work of sanctification. And there is great joy in the journey! Blessings to you as you search~
