Bisexual Gay Lesbian Transgender Equality
The Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations supports full equality for Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and/or Transgender people (BGLT). We believe that our first principle, respecting "the inherent worth and dignity of every person," applies equally to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. As an Association, we covenant to promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations, and so in addition to welcoming BGLT people into our religious community, we also work to protect the civil and legal rights of BGLT people and families across the country. Unitarian Universalists have been at the forefront of the same-sex marriage debates, advocating for the right for each person to marry the partner of his or her choice. We also support, among other policies, non-discrimination in employment practices and job-related benefits, legal protections against persecution and hate crimes and the right of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and/or Transgender people to serve openly in the United States military.For more information contact la_bglt @ uua.org.
