Jesus in Love supports lesbian, gay, bi trans and queer (LGBTQ) spirituality, with an emphasis on art and literature. It promotes artistic and religious freedom and teaches love for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. It is based on these beliefs: God loves all people, including sexual minorities. The creative process is sacred. The queer visions, especially the gay Jesus and LGBT saints, will free people to experience the divine in new ways and lead to a more just world.
Jesus in Love was founded by lesbian Christian author Kittredge Cherry as her personal gift to the world.
Today Palm Sunday begins a week of reflections on "The Passion of Christ: A Gay Vision" at the Jesus in Love Blog. Visit the blog daily for LGBT-friendly inspiration.
Gay Passion debated today at HuffPost
Heated debate erupted today when Huffington Post ran a major article and slideshow on the gay Passion of Christ.
Most of the 650 comments denounce it as "blasphemy" or "ridiculous," so please go to HuffPost and add a comment telling why you like "The Passion of Christ: A Gay Vision."
Kittredge Cherry wrote the article, which includes a cool slideshow of Passion images by Doug Blanchard.

New review: Gay Passion is "the real deal"
"The Jesus in this book is the real deal," says
award-winning poet Jendi writer in a new review of "The Passion of Christ: A Gay Vision."
She writes, "I found this book very helpful for my own prayer life. I would love to have a stronger heart-level connection with the person of Jesus, but often struggle to connect with the ubiquitous beard-and-bathrobe representation of the Savior, which feels clich� and remote from my experience. I felt a stronger bond with Blanchard's Jesus." See review at Reiter's Block

One day, two processions; One meek, an arriving Lamb, soothing, offering Grace; The other, Dreadful Power speaking intimidation. One died, and thus lives on. The other lived on, but now is gone. Eric & Scott Hays-Strom
