Welcome Home.
My best days are spent listening to other people’s stories and sharing my own, finding out that although we’re different, we have much more in common than we ever guessed.
My calling is to encourage others and foster a sense of belonging and spiritual home, especially among those who feel marginalized by the church.
How Can Churches Create a Place of Belonging?
Sally Gary longs for the day when every person feels like they have a place at the table. That’s why she’s passionate about Christian leaders, faith communities, and families walking alongside their LGBTQ loved ones. Sometimes that means stepping out in courage. In a recent sermon at Restore Austin Church, Sally inspires us all to be courageous Christians in doing the work of God.

Stories
Sally is a storyteller. Read real-life narratives on her blog, along with her other musings.
In this deeply personal memoir, Sally traces the experiences, conversations, and scriptural readings that culminated in her seeing her sexuality as something that made sense within the context of her faith—not outside of it or in opposition to it. Along the way, she shares a journey of loneliness, futile attempts to change her sexual orientation, and the fear of intimacy that followed a lifetime of believing same-sex relationships are sinful, before finally embracing a love of her own.
Sally’s story—one of heritage, learning, courage, and love-—is written especially for the generations of LGBTQ Christians after her who are questioning whether they can stay part of the church they call home. It’s a resounding reminder that, just like Sally’s own heart, things can change, and sometimes, when we earnestly search for the truth, we find it in the most unexpected places.
