This article by David Gibson of Politics Daily is well worth a read. He explores some of the reasons why Gay men in particular are “more” religiously invovled than their Straight brethren. Some of the conclusions drawn by one of the studies done by sociologist Darren E. Sherkat are laughably funny, but the piece overall has some points well worth reflecting on.

+Alexis,
Thank you for calling attention to this. As my spiritual director once taught me, the spirituality of LGBT persons is deeply rooted in the desert and exodus experience: A faithful God walking with us and leading us through a wilderness requiring of us deep trust, faith, and hope.
Also as a formation director, I can testify to the threefold calling of all: the call to be, to live, to do. LGBT persons are confronted like no other group to really discern the first question that makes the others possible: Who am I?/How did God create me?/Why did God create me this way? Only then can one really answer: how am I to live my life and what am I to do with it?
