Side B Christian
Side B Christians are Christians who identify as LGBT, but take a traditional view of human sexuality and thus remain celibate. The term Side B derives from an Internet forum where Side A Christians, with an affirming view of LGBT sexuality, were contrasted with Side B Christians. Prominent Side B Christians include Eve Tushnet, a lesbian Catholic based in Washington, DC, and Bekah Mason, executive director of Revoice. In particular, Side B Christians reject conversion therapy. Side B is also distinct from Side Y, which does not affirm LGBT identification. History
The distinction between Side A and Side B first took place as part of the Gay Christian Network, founded by Justin Lee. Some make additional distinctions, including Side X, representing ex-gay Christians. In 2018, Revoice was launched as a conference for Christians predominantly identifying as Side B. Much of the movement of celibate LGBT Christians has its origins in the US evangelical movement. Prominent Side B Christians
