“The issue of sexuality, especially nonhetero expressions of sexuality, is a complex matter within the Black Church community. Even with all of their diversity, Black Church people are regarded as strikingly similar in their attitudes toward non-heterosexual sexualities. They are viewed as not simply homophobic but more homophobic than other populations of society”\u00a0 (Douglas, 2006).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 2022, LGBTQIA+ individuals are still fighting for affirming acceptance within The Black Church. In this issue our contributing guest writer Author, Activist\u00a0 Monika M. Pickett explores the nuisances on the prevalent and pervasive homophobic sentiments of the Black Church. We recognizes that not all Black Churches are homophobic. We also recognize that the main pillars of Black denomination systems are! Yet, LGBTQIA+ individuals still maintain their\u00a0 memberships and serve in their ministries silently!<\/p>\n
