Mobilizing for LGBTQ+ Equality
Interfaith Alliance insists that religion should inspire celebration not discrimination. For decades we have mobilized powerful coalitions of people from diverse faiths and beliefs to fight back against these degrading efforts and demand the right of all LGBTQ+ people to live with full dignity, safety and equal rights. We invite you to take action today by telling your Members of Congress: Co-sponsor the Equality Act.
As people of faith and none, we have a role to play in showing up for our LGBTQ+ siblings.
LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, and faith communities are ready to fight back.
The polling is clear that the majority of faith groups and congregations across America are inspired by their traditions to celebrate the inherent dignity of the many LGBTQ+ members of their communities. Unfortunately, there is an extremist minority who is hard at work distorting the meaning of religious freedom to discriminate against those who identify or believe differently than they do – and they are particularly targeting LGBTQ+ people.
Interfaith Alliance has long been a leader in this space, including a pre-Obergefell blue paper created by past Interfaith Alliance president Rev. Welton Gaddy on same-sex marriage published in 2009. Explore the links below to learn more about Interfaith Alliance’s work to promote LGBTQ+ equality.
