For what seems like an eternity, the Christian church has possessed a heavily guarded sealed box. It is made not of wood or steel but of something far more impenetrable: doctrines of the church regarding its beliefs on homosexuality.

The box contains the errant thoughts and prejudices of five centuries, permitting church leaders and members to ostracize, demean, and criminalize their own. This box must be opened, the contents examined, and its errant beliefs changed so more pain is not inflicted on Gay Christians in the future.
