Who We Are:
We are an interfaith network of people who all share one thing- a deep commitment to our faith tradition, which kindles our deep commitment to social justice. As rabbis, ministers, priests, and lay people, we are all dedicated to working for equal rights for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community in Virginia. We recognize that LGBT citizens are not faceless and nameless, but are members of our religious communities and our families, friends, neighbors, and people with whom we do business. We also recognize that God loves and sustains all of creation and that we must act when any part of that creation is endangered- physically, emotionally, or spiritually- by misunderstanding, hate, and discrimination.
What We Do:
We seek equal rights for all citizens through prayer, education, organization, and advocacy. We challenge those who equate religious faith and intolerance.
- Through prayer, we ask for God's care of all those who are without legal protections in our society.
- Through education, we provide resources for people of faith who approach issues of equality from unique theological perspectives.
- Through organization, we provide religious communities and individual believers with a statewide network that enables an effective response to any GLBT issue.
- Through letters and lobbying, we speak of our common vision to all candidates and legislators.
