Believe Out Loud

Believe Out Loud is a digital community working to move all people toward an expansive, transformative understanding of divine love. We center and sanctify queer spirituality across our programs, from our online worship services led by LGBTQIA faith leaders to our grantmaking program supporting faith-driven LGBTQIA peacebuilders around the world. On our social media platforms, hundreds of thousands of queer people of faith and allies gather to experience affirmation of their divinity—and to heal from damaging societal messages that alienate the LGBTQIA community from spiritual resources. 

Believe Out Loud knows that faith and sexuality can coexist. 

Too often, the world tells us that queer and religious identity are incompatible. Yet queer communities report high levels of faith engagement. Our mission is to meet this need for spiritual content tailored to the LGBTQIA community—resources that go beyond tolerance and acceptance to use the LGBTQIA experience as a framework for understanding the divine.  

Believe Out Loud will be moving on from our organizational affiliation with Intersections International as of the end of August 2021. We are currently seeking a new home for the program to continue to expand our programming of LGBTQIA-affirming spiritual resources. Donate now to support Believe Out Loud's new phase!
