Photographer Eliel Cruz was looking to put a face to LGBT communities of faith and humanize them. Though you certainly wouldn’t know it by reading Queerty, the last pew religion report shows there are more LGBT people of faith than none believers.

His first batch of shots features Christians, mostly in the millennial range, drawing from across gender and race spectrums.

Take a look below as each shares a bit of their story:
