<p>This study explores how social support shapes the religious and spiritual experiences of gay and lesbian Christians. Many gay and lesbian believers report ongoing tension between their sexual and religious identities as they engage with religious traditions and institutions that vary in their recognition and accommodation of homosexuality. While prior research has emphasized internal cognitive strategies or institutional dynamics, this study centers the interpersonal realm—particularly the emotional, informational, and appraisal support that enables identity integration. To address the lack of research examining how support is experienced and enacted in everyday life, this study uses narrative analysis of reflective essays from 47 self-identified gay and lesbian Christians recruited through an online research platform in the United States. The findings reveal how support from friends, partners, and chosen families functions as a buffer against religious stigma and facilitates the development of a personal theology. Participants described building accepting relational networks that offered validation, resilience, and a renewed sense of spiritual worth. The results highlight the transformative role of relational support in fostering not only well-being but also theological reflection and self-acceptance. This study expands Social Support Theory by demonstrating its relevance in the context of intersecting sexual and religious identities and offers implications for both scholars and faith communities.</p>
