An Invitation from Eve Tushnet, a celibate gay Catholic “Oh, I wasn’t raised in the faith, so I don’t have all that baggage.” I used to say that a lot. I converted in 1998, at age nineteen, having come out as a lesbian when I was about thirteen. For the first time I realized what I was really saying, and it shocked me. I was saying that it’s typically easier for a gay person who grows up outside the Church to know God’s love than for a gay person who had a Catholic upbringing. Because we are made in the image of God, a false image of God necessarily becomes a false image of oneself. My hope is that this book will contribute to an ongoing transformation in gay Christians’ lives and in our churches—a transformation in which we begin to see the mistakes we’ve made in the past, with which almost all of us have been in some way complicit, and rediscover the sweetness of God’s love.
