Ok, so this is a question that's been bugging me for a really long time. Do you think its fine, for us as Christians, to make/headcanon fictional characters as LGBTQ+? I ask this because there are a lot of other things in fiction that we(just Christians in general) interact with, that isn't Christian, and I wanted to know if this was a similar case. Sorry if this is hard to read; I struggle with putting thought into words.
i used to make many LGBTQ characters, both for variety’s sake and for my own interests and views. but now as i get closer to the Lord and learn about HIS views, i would say this: what is the purpose of the characters you’re making?
as Christian artists and writers, there is something more important than variety and personal interest. and that is bringing glory to the Lord. making a wide range of characters is good and important; it helps people connect with your story. but if they’re portrayed to support something that God doesn’t support, then consider what the message of the project is. is it to support that group or that set of morals, or is it to shine the light of Jesus?
i’m not saying LGBTQ characters never have a place in a story, but think about what you want people to take away from your work. our talents are gifts from God, so we have a responsibility with the influence we have through our creations.
“So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God (..) I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.” (1 Corinthians 10:31,33)
