What is Thrive LGBT+ About? What is Thrive LGBT+ About? Mission Statement Thrive LGBT+ seeks to help others escape the destructive impact of religious stigma against the LGBT+ community in all its forms with an emphasis on helping people leave and heal from ex-gay ministry and conversion therapy. The truth is, affirming LGBT+ people is honoring the Image of God in us, as we are. Thrive LGBT+ believes most people seek to love and affirm LGBT+ people but have been conditioned through religious stigma to shame and condemn us through forced behavioral modification and imposing a false context on our lives. Thrive LGBT+ seeks to change that by empowering LGBT+ people and our allies to navigate out of, heal from, and live beyond stigmatizing religion. Whether they are a LGBT+ person of faith or not, we seek to help people move forward to live emotionally and relationally thriving lives within the context of a healthy self-esteem, life-giving relationships, and equal standing within their community. Thrive LGBT+ as an organization, and all of its staff and volunteers affirm that LGBT+ people, whether religious or not, are worthy of dignity, honor, respect, spiritual affirmation, and full equality in every sector of life. We condemn fear-based religious efforts to promote ex-gay ideology and “conversion” therapy. We applaud all the courageous efforts to help LGBT+ people develop and have access to more life-giving resources as they seek to avoid or escape oppressive religion to improve their lives. Life beyond stigmatizing theology and ideology is possible. We are here to help. "After a lifetime of believing destructive ideas and pursuing false hope, I now embrace that LGBT+ life can thrive and should be celebrated. We are who we are. You are loved." We are here to help those seeking to transition out of fear and instead thrive in life as LGBT+ individuals, families, and community. What is Thrive LGBT+ About?
