WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER
Our nation is in crisis. Our people are in pain. Fear runs the show. This is the right time to center Love in the cultural consciousness. By broadcasting the National Pride Interfaith Service on television, thousands of LGBTQIA+ affirming spiritual leaders and millions of people of faith can speak one truth with many voices: that LGBTQIA+ people are sacred, whole, and welcome. We stand in solidarity on the side of Love to create the Beloved Community.
