and I worry that in any faith community I join, I will wind up being asked to play that poster child role by default by politics and organization and people, rather than being able to view it as an aspect of my worship, and a facet of the love and justice of God.
Ah, I totally understand this. I think maybe this issue can be ameliorated by being part of a church which actually already has a decent queer community? Part of the reason that you might feel pressured to be the poster child is because you're the only one, or one of three or whatever. But if there are 10 of your it's a little easier? Or 30?
