“And God created the human being b’tzalmo in . . . [God’s own] image” (Genesis 1: 27a).¹ Perhaps no Biblical verse has meant more to gay people than this one. It con-firms what LGBT people know in their hearts to be true: We too have been created in God’s image. We too deserve respect as God’s own handiwork. Our sexual orientation is part of creation’s original design. We are as much a reflection of God as any straight person may claim to be. We are entitled to as much dignity, as many rights, and as much happiness as any other
