Gay Christian Twitter, can you help? I& #39;m talking to a precious gay (but very closeted) Christian teenager. He lives in a very conservative state and comes from a very conservative family and church. His faith community and his family are decidedly non-affirming.

He can& #39;t even imagine coming out and living freely. He& #39;s even contemplated conversion therapy. He& #39;s afraid. And I can& #39;t blame him. I remember being afraid too. And the truth is, it& #39;s not easy for people like him to come out, not even in 2020. It breaks my heart, but it& #39;s true.

What words can you offer him tonight? What hope and light can you share? I& #39;ll make sure he sees this thread and the replies. Please speak words of truth, grace, hope and light into his closet tonight. #FaithfullyLGBT #UnchangedLGBTQ https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧡" title="Orange heart" aria-label="Emoji: Orange heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Yellow heart" aria-label="Emoji: Yellow heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blue heart" aria-label="Emoji: Blue heart">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
