A Call For Inclusion

from In The Life:

"Sinful" is how conservative preachers and politicians describe, demonize, and justify opposition of full equality for LGBT people. Progressive religious leaders provide a vital counterweight, preaching full LGBT inclusion to their congregations, threatening an establishment that would prefer policy come from the pulpit. In our lead story, we profile Emily Eastwood, an elder of the LGBT-faith movement and Interfaith Alliance President, Rev. Dr. Welton Gaddy, both, leading the call for tolerance, inclusiveness and religious freedom for all.
