Abstract

Religion is a double-edged sword for LGBTQ people: It fuels much of their persecution, while at the same time providing many with hope, and motivating others to help. This presentation will describe the dilemma facing LGBTQ+ people who flee in search of safety, with special attention to the role of religion in their challenges and supports. It will then focus on recent efforts among American Christians and their churches to welcome LGBTQ forced migrants, notably including asylum seekers and refugees.
