December offering: Q Spirit Kittredge Cherry 2023

[Update on Jan. 8: You can still donate in January: $228 needed. Many thanks to all donors!]

Donate now to support LGBTQ spirituality with a gift to the December offering for Kittredge Cherry and her LGBTQ spirituality project Q Spirit.

Your contribution brings hope, stands up for artistic and religious freedom, and liberates people to experience the divine in new ways. Please help foster love for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Inflation raised the cost of running a website, and donations in December help pay expenses all year long.

“Some of our best resources, that push the edges and make us re-evaluate, do not have a regular source of funding. This one is well worth your donation,” says one donor. You can also sign up to give monthly.

I am passionately committed to Q Spirit / Jesus in Love because it grew out of my own personal journey as a lesbian Christian. Since I launched JesusInLove.org in 2005, my projects have grown to include my popular Q Spirit blog and newsletter.

Readers call it inspiring, informative and “always fabulous.” Listen to the voices of readers:

▼“This work is essential and holy in the face of bigotry and intolerance.”

▼“Provocative, inspiring, uplifting!”

▼“Kittredge Cherry is a national treasure and queer saint in her own right, and her blog Q Spirit is an invaluable resource.”

▼“A very well written, well researched and always wonder-filled blog.”

▼“It’s very, very important to reach LGBTQ’s with the love of God, and I don’t know anyone who does that better than you.”

Q Spirit grew in both quality and quantity in 2023, evolving into an established website with a strong base of followers. My LGBTQ Saints group on Facebook grew by 10 percent with 263 new members, bringing the total to 2,723. The number of newsletter subscribers rose by 3 percent to 2,613. I joined Instagram and my Twitter following continued to expand. People were hungry for credible information and I answered more requests than usual from people asking for recommendations and referrals.

All-time pageviews hit 1.7 million, despite Google’s algorithmic changes that caused a modest dip in website traffic starting in August. This was also a challenging year for me personally as I faced the death of my mother and struggled to recover from COVID-19.

Q Spirit / Jesus in Love is not a non-profit organization, so your gifts to Kittredge Cherry for Q Spirit are not tax deductible.

Many thanks to EVERYONE who has given their time, talent, prayers and resources this year!
