Places of Faith
These are places of faith that are explicitly welcoming for those who identify as gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgender and, thus, also are places of support and safety for their family members and friends. These are good places to take our children if we want them to grow up respecting and accepting others. If you would like to have your place of worship added to this page, please contact us at kreim@earthlink.net
