Today, I was the featured guest on the BBC's "HardTalk" show. We discussed my book #UNDIVIDED, conversion therapy, & more. Watch on iPlayer if you live in the UK: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0… For those outside the UK, here's a lower-rez Youtube version: youtube.com/watch?v=b319T7w2…

If you read one book on faith and being Christian and LGBTQ …. May I suggest to you @vickybeeching’s book ‘Undivided.’
Truly one of the greatest books of our time. ❤️🏳️🌈

In a special episode this weekend, Dan and James relive a moment from their documentary with @vickybeeching, who explains exactly how abusive this pseudoscience is. Trigger warning.

One challenge of COVID-19 ‘shielding’ = having to face my fear of self-injecting as my local nurse or doctor can’t do it. These needles are long & it’s not pleasant but I’m getting there gradually. Only took me 40 minutes of psyching myself up today...! #chronicillness

Great 2 hear from u! Did some singing@home instead of church today. (Haven't done that for ages) Picked this song 'cause lyrics fitted my mood. Just then noticed that the original version is yours🙌 (Didn't know I knew one of your songs) So thanks for that. Have a blessed day! <3

Greetings, Twitter. I’ve stayed away (other than retweets to support my publisher) for a year & a half due to horrible trolling. Now that I’m in #COVID19 self-isolation because of #autoimmune health issues I think I need social media back in my life. How are you guys doing?

This is a really good way for people to understand those who suffer from chronic illness. Particularly the many who are housebound. As well as dealing with illness there is daily grief on missing out on the simplest things people take for granted.A cafe.A walk. A bus ride. Views

It’s also now a pandemic of human disappointment. Cancelled trips, art openings, sporting events, book tours, concerts. Things folks have been planning for, working toward, and excited about - that’s a lot of grieving on top of sickness. 🙏🏻

Brilliant book by a very open and honest person. Helped me in my decision and understanding of lesbianism and homosexuality which I now no longer regard as a sin. Sin is a choice, being gay isn’t! Nuff said!

@vickybeeching, thank you. 🙏🏼
You are so, so brave. Your story and your advocacy for inclusive faith communities are beyond inspiring, and your example challenges me daily to be brave in my own community. #Undivided is such an important book, especially for people of faith ❤🌻

I have used your book in conversations with young people struggling to hang on to faith: thank you for writing it. They are desperate for some honest dialogue with the church.

Lots of us Twitter folks will make sure you don't feel alone this Christmas, Jonathan :-) I, for one, wish you a wonderful few days and really hope you get well soon. We're all here to keep you company in cyberspace. I'm handing you a virtual mince-pie across the miles!

Due to illness, I am spending Christmas alone. But I have good company: a (rare for me) second reading of •Undivided•, by the wonderful @vickybeeching. A personal tale of the need for acceptance and inclusion of everyone, not least in the Christian church.

Thoroughly enjoyed @vickybeeching inspirational book #Untitled, on the Church & #LGBTQ. The church has changed teaching on slavery and other things. Time for another change. Buy it here for £3, and decide for yourself: amazon.co.uk/dp/B06W2JL9Y9

@vickybeeching mum read ur book I left by her bed. She called me to say she LOVED it. On Sunday she spoke to a lady at church who was visiting with her wife, welcomed her and expressed her support and apologised for how churches had treated her. Thank you for your words ❤💙💜

Bought @vickybeeching Undivided today from @Foyles
It was a struggle, as I had to awkwardly ask a man to stand up from the step he was sitting on, so I could climb up to the top shelf to reach it.
I did not let polite British social anxiety get in the way of me buying this book!

Sad to hear, but understandable. I was horrified at the abuse you received

Thanks, Sabine! I really miss being active on social media. Other than RTs to support my publisher/book it’s been a year since I was properly active on Twitter. There’s only one reason I left - the trolls were affecting me too much & my health is still too fragile for that. ☹️
