We work to decrease homophobia within communities of faith in Michigan and to create a safer and more open environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, both adults and youth. We attempt to articulate the underlying roots of the physical and psychological violence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and to make linkages between homophobia and other oppressions, particularly racism.
Emphasis is on creating a safe space where questions and concerns can be addressed.
AFSC has begun a special focus on the needs of young people.
