WAY OUT PARENTING: Looking for the Right Church? Take the Church-Receptivity-to-Gays Screener

You've just gotten pregnant and your long dormant spirituality has begun to
awaken. Or you have a high-energy three-year-old and you're starting to think a little
values infusion couldn’t hurt. It’s time to shop for a church, you decide, but you're gay so you naturally have a healthy dose of cynisicm, skepticism, and other "isms" when it comes to organized religion. What if you land in a Christian cabal of gay haters and they want to exorcise you? What if they decide to brainwash you back to grace, turn you against your partner, find you a suitable opposite sex mate, and help you discover the joys of Adam and Eve in the garden?

One field trip to a church can tell you everything you need to know about the clergy and congregation's attitudes toward people who are different. So go on a "mission," observe carefully, and then take the simple screener below to find out if you've found a spiritual home for your gay family.
