Summary:

If a culture war is happening, LGBTQ+ conservative Christians are on the front lines. While many people assume LGBTQ+ people have to say goodbye to the religions with which they grew up, and many do, others occupy the intersection. Choosing Love shows what happens when two identities seem diametrically opposed - conservative Christian and LGBTQ+ - are joined together within one person.
