There's a poet out there who writes stunningly beautiful poems about gay angels and queer Jesus and occasionally I dig out their work and feel all the feelings and wish they had a book deal.
Okay I guess we're doing this, so here is a thread of Queer Christian poems by Keaton St. James, who has a patreon that you should DEFINITELY support: https://www.patreon.com/kstjames and who I discovered years ago on Tumblr, and whose work I've loved ever since. His writing is exquisite.

Anyway, as I said, Keaton is honestly one of my favourite poets, and the fact that he doesn't have a bestselling collection of Queer Christian poetry is an absolute travesty, and you should all go and subscribe to his patreon, here https://www.patreon.com/kstjames
