In a 2009 study, 60% of LGBT adults described faith as “very important” in their lives. However, many LGBT adults have shared a history of spiritual disillusionment due to discrimination at the hands of religious communities and leaders. If faith is a part of what keeps you healthy, begin the process of reconnecting with your spirituality by seeking out an LGBT religious community or affirming congregation in your area.
