Jackie Hill Perry Responds to Pride Month ‘Discourse’ About Her Story

Author and speaker Jackie Hill Perry responded to “the recent conversations around my story and Pride Month,” which she said began when someone on Threads wished her a “Happy Pride Month.” Perry is known for her book, “Gay Girl, Good God,” which tells how God led her to himself and out of acting on her attraction to other women.

“[Y’all] know I don’t respond to everything. There is a time to be silent but there is also a time to speak. Discerning the difference between the two is a function of wisdom,” said Perry in the caption of her video. “A wisdom we all have access to through Christ. To me, this moment feels providential and purposeful. Especially because I’ve been quiet on socials and quite comfortable with it but for such a time as this, I won’t be.”

“When it comes to the recent conversations around my story and Pride month,” she said, “I thought it wise to speak to one singular reality, the GOSPEL. Tell the truth and shame the devil.” Her caption ended quoting ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭17‬.
