I am thankful for this community that says yes to me. In June of 1970, the General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalism Association passed its first General Resolution supporting the gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities in their struggle for equal rights and acceptance. The result of our affirmation process is a commitment to a dozen substantive ways in which we intend to make clear to our community our opposition to homophobia. It is dedicated to the spiritual, political, and social well-being of Unitarian Universalists who are confronting oppression as lesbians, gay men, bisexual persons, transgender persons, and heterosexual allies. It celebrates the culture and lives of its members.
Interweave membership is open to all interested UUs of any sexual or affectional orientation.
It has chapters in many Unitarian Universalist congregations and districts, as well as a Continental chapter. It is not surprising that gay people are reluctant to reach out to the very institution that oppresses them. Includes an affirmation and nondiscrimination clause in our by-laws and other official documents affecting all dimensions of congregational life, including membership, hiring practices, and the calling of religious professionals. Celebrates the lives of all people and welcomes same-sex couples, recognizing their committed relationships, and equally affirms displays of caring and affections without regard to sexual orientation. Seeks to nurture ongoing dialogue between bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender, and heterosexual persons and to create deeper trust and sharing.
