Saints' Day
The saints and martyrs of the Christian churches include numerous examples who could be described (in modern terminology) as LGBTQ. Some are officially recognized, some could be considered as saints by popular acclaim - and some have been martyred by the church, persecuted for their honesty in speaking the truth on sexuality and gender identity.
