How Can I Help?
Whether you are a business, a non-profit, or a community of faith, it is critical to take steps toward LGBT+ inclusion and equity.
Communities of Faith
The tangible presence of LGBT+ individuals within our communities, families, and congregations cannot be ignored. You might fear that engaging with LGBT+ people will require you to compromise your deeply held convictions. It may seem messy, but God calls us to embrace the complexity of caring for people.
