From the Unitarian Universalist Association’s office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Ministries (LGBTQ Ministries)
LGBTQ Ministries offers many resources to aid individuals and congregations in increasing their welcome, inclusion, and understanding of people with marginalized sexual orientations and/or gender identities. The office no longer accepts orders for physical copies of resources, as all of our resources are available online.
