Churches have a long way in opening up their arms and doors to LGBTQ individuals. And with the passage of marriage equality, churches have embraced the community and perform same-sex marriages. Luckily, as one of the most diverse cities in the country, Christian LGBT have many options for where to worship in the city. So, put on your Sunday best and get ready to get holy.
