LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer\/questioning, asexual, and many others like non-binary and pansexual)\u00a0individuals also have a unique history as spiritual people. Also,<br>they have been manifesting their expressions of spirituality in powerful and healing ways.

Also, more and more communities are embracing spirituality as a vital component to everyone\u2019s faith and a source for social justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spirituality is the practice of staying consciously connected with everything that makes us alive: God, ourselves, and others. Factors, such as Gender, race, sexual orientation, and being a part of a particular community, all impact and shape one\u2019s spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On\nthe whole, Queer Spirituality involves the process and practice of letting go\nof ideas about God, the Bible, church, family, sexuality, and our own bodies\nthat are not true to an individual\u2019s experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;What is most\nimportant is honoring and recognizing that these individual experiences are a\nsource of revelation and can be trusted to point them to the Divine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Queer_Spirituality_in_the_Ancient_Times\"><\/span><strong>Queer Spirituality in the Ancient\nTimes <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout history, Queer people have been spiritually inclined and have been revered for their <strong>spiritual leadership across different cultures<\/strong>. The Hindu Sanskrit texts from medieval and ancient India prove that homosexuals and the &#8220;third gender&#8221; community not only existed in Indian society back then, but they were also widely accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Queer people have played spiritual roles in tribal cultures as shamans, priests and priestesses, and go-betweens. The ten identified spiritual roles that Queer people have played throughout history are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LGBTQIA_Identities_In_Past\"><\/span>LGBTQIA Identities In Past<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Catalytic\nTransformers<\/li><li>Consciousness\nScouts<\/li><li>Sacred\nClowns<\/li><li>Keepers\nof beauty<\/li><li>Caregivers<\/li><li>Mediators<\/li><li>Shamans<\/li><li>Priests\n&amp; Priestesses<\/li><li>The\nDivine androgyne<\/li><li>Gatekeepers<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Queer people have also played a<strong> leadership role in the Western monastic tradition <\/strong>from the beginning of the Christian Era to the fourteenth century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the American Indian cultures respected the&nbsp;berdache and androgynous, cross-dressing people, who were considered neither men nor women and believed to be \u201ctwo-spirited.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;berdache&nbsp;had important spiritual functions to perform within the tribe, such as healers, dreamers, visionaries, and mediators between the human world and the <strong>spirit world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of <strong>prejudice and religious abuse<\/strong>, Queer people over time either rejected or lost the connection with their spiritual heritage.&nbsp;It is now time for them to look inside, do self-discovery, and reclaim their spiritual nature as priests and priestesses, prophets, teachers, artists, keepers of beauty, visionaries, messengers, mediators, and healers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Queer_Spirituality_in_the_Modern_Times\"><\/span><strong>Queer Spirituality in the Modern Times<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today,\nmore and more Queer people are embracing spirituality and practicing it in\ncommunities of faith like Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC).
