"The place where my child should have been most welcome, most received, most loved, should have been the church." 

-Mother of a transgender child

This story conceals the identities of the mother and child for their safety.

On Trans Parent Day LOVEboldly featured a letter from an anonymous parent who wrote about her transgender daughter. After coming out, the mother's daughter was supported by family, friends, doctors, and school staff. Unfortunately, their family experienced the most hurtful reactions to their daughter in their church. After ten years of raising their children in this church, the family had to leave due to the barriers they faced. 

Stories like these are why we at LOVEboldly do what we do. LOVEboldly strives to build deeper understanding between Christians and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others (LGBTQ+). We believe that when we listen to each other's stories, communities of faith can create belonging for LGBTQ+ folks while healing our deepest divides. We do this by:

  • Hosting dialogue events


  • Hosting training events for pastors


  • Holding Bible studies for LGBTQ+ and straight friends 


  • Hearing from LGBTQ+ folks at Pride every year 


Will you consider helping us reach our Giving Tuesday goal so that we can continue this work?

Make a one-time gift: For today only, every dollar you donate will be matched by an anonymous donor. If you value our work, now is the best time to give!

Become a recurring donor: Sign up here to become a monthly giving partner for LOVEboldly. This is a great option if you don't have the resources to give a lot at once but would like to become a sustaining partner. Even $10 a month helps, which is equivalent to a Spotify subscription!
