Glass Closet Sanctuary

Hi. My name is Michael and I am starting a new LGBTQ+ religion: Qism, Q+ and establishing Glass Closet Sanctuaries around the globe.

Why a New LGBTQ+ Religion?

Simple Answer: 1st Amendment Rights

FREEDOM of RELIGION

FREEDOM of SPEECH

FREEDOM of ASSEMBLY

FREEDOM of PRESS

The Right To Petition the Government.

All religions are man-made. This one is no different. It is specifically designed for LGBTQ+ Spirits, individuals, and communities around the globe.

We need your help!

The time is now!

This is a call to action!!!!

This new religion was developed out of great urgency and extreme need for an LGBTQ+ religious institution to combat the hate, discrimination, and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation directed at us. This religion and the establishment of the Glass Closet Sanctuary are serving that ever-growing need. We are not (despite often hypocritical beliefs) welcome in other religions or their meeting places. For example, recently, a Christian church in Florida is making members sign anti-LGBTQ+ statements stating they will not engage in LGBTQ+ relationships. (First Baptist Church in Jacksonville - Heath Lambert, Senior Pastor.) This is NOT welcoming and is direct blatant discrimination and nothing more than sanctioned hate. Why would ANY LGBTQ+ Spirit WANT to attend there or other churches or religion with similar beliefs? These abhorrent hate-filled "Houses of God" are not Our home. But now, we have one!

Typically, we do not fit within the confines of ANY of the world’s main religions (Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hindi, or Buddhism), as evidenced by the need to sign an oath at the aforementioned Baptist denomination of a Christian church. There are countless examples of other churches/religions and their leaders preaching hate and intolerance against us. Actions by non-LGBTQ+ individuals within the confines of traditional institutional religions have not been our friend. There is a LONG history of persecution. However, in these modern times, this persecution is getting worse. There have literally been calls by religious leaders for us to be shot or encamped on remote islands and left to die. Non-LGBTQ+ propaganda is evil, misguided, and discriminatory and is seen as a threat.

All of this unwarranted hate is UNACCEPTABLE and we will NOT TOLERATE it. We needed a religious institution to combat all these negative forces we all face. We now have Qism and Glass Closet Sanctuaries where we can satisfy our religious needs, meet with others, and always feel welcome and safe while fighting for our rights.

We have a very specific belief system based on a Core of 12 Beliefs and our own Doctrines and Teachings. We are fluid in our beliefs and not held to the rigidity of a permanent unwavering doctrine as with most religions. Ours will change over time, as needed. We are a modern religion for modern times. We don’t punish members for not believing EXACTLY what we do. As with ALL religions, people may often omit or embellish parts. This one is no different. We are not afraid to grow, and this religion may evolve, expand, and hopefully spread across the world as we gain members. Despite this fluidity within our religion the basic philosophy, message, and core beliefs must be upheld and remain unchanged. We also have an Official LGBTQ+ Agenda that is also fluid.

Thank you for your support!
