We value inclusivity and are committed to justice for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We recognize that people hold multiple identities—sexual orientation and gender, age and stage of life, race and class, cultural and linguistic diversity—and that our identity informs our diverse experiences in the church.
As a GLBTT person associated with the United Church of Canada, or as a GLBTT ally, you are invited to attend a regional gathering to tell your story, voice your thoughts and observations about the attitudes toward homophobia and heterosexism in the United Church today, and express your hopes for the future!
