I'm pretty much atheist, but I've only EVER felt attracted to Christianity when it's been explained to me by LGBTQ Christians, or Ally Christians. I find it difficult to take people seriously when they talk about a loving god who nonetheless rejects love between same-sex couples (or triads, etc). When people talk about an all-loving god who does embrace love between everyone who loves each other, however, that makes sense.
In short: I take your faith FAR more seriously than I would the faith of anyone who says that god justifies bigotry.
I don't know if I've linked you to this before or not, but just in case: My Heart Goes Out is a blog by Carol Boltz, ex-wife of Christian singer/songwriter Ray Boltz. They divorced after Ray came out as gay a few years ago, and Carol is now a fierce Ally -- and a fierce Christian.
