    While I totally get there is a lot of conservative Christianity deservedly driving the narrative for this meme. There are some modern religious composers putting out great music, and respectful/celebratory of people with LGBTQ identities.

    My current favorite is the Unitarian Universalist musician/composer Lea Morris. Some of her songs:

    Only One Love

    Joy is Free

    Keep Moving

    Edit: the live music program at UU congregation is one of the main reasons I keep going. We hired guest lead vocalists who were trans for trans day of visibility this year, it was a moving experience to perform with them. Here’s a link to search for UU congregations in your area if you’re interested. It’s possible to reclaim what it means to be religious from conservatives!
