About Jesus in Love

Jesus In Love is a network of people and websites that affirm gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) spirituality. JesusInLove.org was founded in 2005 by lesbian Christian author and minister Kittredge Cherry. Now Jesus In Love’s websites receive thousands of visitors per year. We cosponsored the first National Festival of Progressive Spiritual Art.

Our logo shows the face of Jesus in a pink triangle, the symbol imposed on gay prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. Inside the pink triangle, Jesus joins queer people in transforming suffering into power.

Our goal is to match LGBT-affirming artists with the people who are eager to see queer spiritual art.

Our vision

Jesus in Love serves gay, lesbian, bi and trans (GLBT) people who have spiritual interests, and our allies. We promote queer spirituality and the arts, with an emphasis on books and images. We believe that God loves all people, including sexual minorities. We believe that the creative process is sacred. We hope that the new visions, especially the gay Jesus, will free people to experience the divine in new ways and lead to a more just world.

“I am a m2f transgender person, & I’m just beginning to learn about the many feminine aspects of faith, of God—of the universe, really! And the art work that you display and link to gives me so much just to look at and so much of life to receive into my heart and enrich my soul. May God bless you abundantly!”

—Sandi

“Keep up the wonderful work.”

— Theodore W. Jennings Jr., Chicago Theological Seminary professor

“Kittredge Cherry is a courageous champion for gay and lesbian religious art. In an age where it is hard for any artist to get visibility, it is especially hard for those who pursue gay/ lesbian religious themes. That such artists are visible at all is almost entirely her work.”

— Douglas Blanchard, artist
