Our Friend, Our Creator and Source:

We come to you with words of grief,

but also, silent rage. We know that You

have made us and called us:

We are trans. And we are holy.

We are intersex. And we are sacred.

We are gender-diverse. And we are divine.

We know that Justice is

always on the side of the

Oppressed. Stay on our side now,

Creator. Call your people

to this place. Remind them

that Love is

more than saying.

Love is being and doing.

This government may try to

find ways to outlaw our existence.

Help us to lift up that higher law. The Truth

that each and all of us exist

as a complete expression of humanity.

And help us both to heal and to rise. A people

marked by difference, but chosen by ourselves

and each other, to be known, to be recognized,

Beloved and belonging, Unitarian Universalists.

We are trans. And we are holy.

We are intersex. And we are sacred.

We are gender-diverse. And we are divine.

For all these things,

we give thanks and say,

Amen.
