Outside the Lines: How Embracing Queerness Will Transform Your Faith

by Mihee Kim-Kort

What a person desires tells the truth of the person’s being. Desire frees us to see our innermost being, and that shines a light into the caverns of each person around us. When that desire is given space for expression,

it allows humanity to expand outward, and the love that results is richer, fuller, and sweeter.

a person comes to their identity through internalizing the influence of certain people, specifically one’s mother and/or father. Each human being is an amalgamation of the people who would have the most influence, a combination of genetic and personality traits. Identity is a symbiotic process between the individual and the community.
