This inquiry presents liminality as an analytic tool to explore the discursive strategies of the negotiation of oppositional identities. Interviews with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning Christian college students disclose appeals to essentialism, labeling, and identification. Specific findings cover appeals to being “created gay,” the naming of identity labels that support and resist both traditional sexual minority and religious labels, and the deployment of a gay Christian identity as evangelism. This paper examines how disciplinary rhetorics create the conditions for the emergence of rhetorical agency, allowing for a nuanced comprehension of the transformative possibilities of minority sexual identity formation.
