SC Faith Leaders for LGBTQ Equality
Join the growing group of faith leaders who oppose anti-LGBTQ discrimination and support dignity, justice, and equality for all LGBTQ South Carolinians. Add your name and share with other faith leaders in South Carolina.
As faith leaders from across traditions and denominations, we strive every day to make South Carolina a safe place to live, work, worship, and learn for all people, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. We join together to oppose anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and support policies that affirm, include, and protect LGBTQ+ people in our state.
Many recent anti-LGBTQ+ attacks target young people in our state. LGBTQ youth deserve the same opportunities to thrive as any other young person in our state. This means being able to access the essential medical care they need. It means being able to turn to supportive adults at school to speak confidentially about their lives. It means being able to participate fully in every aspect of school.
LGBTQ+ people are our friends, neighbors, and family members. We are all God's children and made in God’s image. We all deserve to go about our daily lives without the fear of discrimination.
Across our diversity of faith traditions and backgrounds, we share the fundamental belief that we are all called to treat others with respect and love. We encourage lawmakers to join us in this public commitment to equality, respect and justice for all by opposing discriminatory bills and supporting dignity for transgender youth.
