December offering: Q Spirit Kittredge Cherry 2024

Donate now to support LGBTQ spirituality with a gift to the December offering for Kittredge Cherry and her LGBTQ spirituality project Q Spirit.

Your contribution brings hope, stands up for artistic and religious freedom, and liberates people to experience the divine in new ways. Please help foster love for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Donations in December help pay expenses all year long. “Some of our best resources, that push the edges and make us re-evaluate, do not have a regular source of funding. This one is well worth your donation,” says one donor. You can also sign up to give monthly.

I am passionately committed to Q Spirit / Jesus in Love because it grew out of my own personal journey as a lesbian Christian. Since I launched JesusInLove.org in 2005, my projects have grown to include my popular Q Spirit website and newsletter.

Readers call it inspiring, informative and “always fabulous.” Listen to the voices of readers:

▼“This work is essential and holy in the face of bigotry and intolerance.”

▼“A very well written, well researched and always wonder-filled blog.”

▼“It’s very, very important to reach LGBTQ’s with the love of God, and I don’t know anyone who does that better than you.”

▼“Here is a concrete way to support one of our Queer community’s true prophets and revolutionaries, Kittredge Cherry, who just keeps on summoning us to see and walk with our Queer family members.”

▼“Kittredge Cherry is one of the bravest souls on the planet. No one else anywhere in the world does what she does, finding and promoting Queer Christian visual arts. And no one is more articulate and prepared for this task than she is. For many years she’s braved ferocious fundamentalist reactionaries and secularist scorn. She's doing this for you all by herself, and she needs your help.”

Q Spirit reached more people in 2024, especially on social media. The biggest growth was on my Instagram page, where followers more than doubled to 1,000 during 2024, my second year on the platform. My LGBTQ Saints group on Facebook grew by 15 percent to 3,146 members. The number of newsletter subscribers rose by 3 percent to 2,674. All-time pageviews surpassed 1.8 million at Qspirit.net.

This year I spent more time updating and expanding the base of more than 300 articles online at Q Spirit, and less time creating all-new articles. Next year I aim to complete a book about LGBTQ saints.

Q Spirit / Jesus in Love is a labor of love, not a non-profit organization, so your gifts to Kittredge Cherry for Q Spirit are not tax deductible. A faithful base of small donors keeps Q Spirit going.

Many thanks to EVERYONE who has given their time, talent, prayers and resources this year!
