    Abstract: The article discusses the manner in which gay and lesbian members of lesbian- and gay-affirming U.S. churches in the South challenged deep-rooted Christian beliefs about homosexual sin. Strategies used by gay and lesbian church members to accommodate to heteronormative conceptions of the "good Christian" are described. Topics include lesbians who minimized their sexuality as secondary to the Christian identity, those who normalized their sexuality be enacting Christian morals of monogamy, and those who challenged homophobia in the church.

    Abstract: African-American communities in the United States have used spirituality, particularity Christianity, to both define family and community values and bolster and uplift the community. Spirituality continues to allow African-Americans to draw on strength in a higher power to affirm their humanity and mandate social equality. While Christianity continues to function as a tool for social justice, it has been misused to deny rights to African-Americans who are same-sex attracted. This research study explores African-American lesbian and queer women's responses to Christian-based homophobia (CBH). We defined CBH as homophobic messaging and behaviors motivated by homophobic Christian beliefs or rhetoric. Participants experienced CBH through various institutions and relationships, and their lesbian and queer identities prompted numerous strategies for navigating, surviving, or avoiding conflicts. The themes and subthemes found in this study make it evident that the responses of lesbian and queer African-American women to CBH are not uniform and simplistic, but that they vary based on internal and external factors, relationships, and institutions. Findings from this study are important to acknowledging African-American lesbian and queer women's abilities to challenge, to navigate, and to transform spiritual and religious traditions, institutions, and spaces into affirming entities.
