The role of faith and religion in the gay community


This article, based on the results of a survey of 9,000 lesbian, gay and bisexual Americans conducted by an evangelical Christian pollster, looks at the important role faith and religion play in the lives of the majority of gays and lesbians.

"Although there are clearly some substantial differences in the religious beliefs and practices of the straight and gay populations, there may be less of a spiritual gap between straights and gays than many Americans would assume," pollster George Barna said.

Metropolitan Church of the Rockies and Open Door Fellowship are two of the most well-known gay congregations in Denver but you can check out www.GayChurch.org to find a gay or gay-friendly church near you.
