[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve always assumed it’s because most LGBT people reasonably assume churches are homophobic until proven otherwise. A rainbow flag communicates immediately that this group seriously marginalized by many Christians is welcome and will be affirmed.[/quote] +1 it's also a message to people who are not LGBTQ+ that the church is welcoming to all. There are a lot of straight people who don't want to be part of a church that shuns any group of people. My Methodist church went through a process with the congregation to formally becoming a "reconciling congregation", https://rmnetwork.org/ part of a group of Methodist churches that explicitly welcome LGBTQ. We lost members over it. This was before the break up of the United Methodist church over this issue. [/quote]
