Religion & Faith
Thanks to the work that’s being done by HRC and by countless others, faith communities around the world have grown to become increasingly more welcoming, inclusive and affirming of the LGBTQ community and our right to equality.
Faith is a core part of civic life. Around the world, people look to their faith as a source of guidance, hope and inspiration — and LGBTQ people, as well as our families, friends and allies, are no different. In times of trial and in the face of rejection, LGBTQ people of faith have held on to our beliefs and traditions — and at times have formed new ones. We belong in every faith tradition across the world.
The HRC Foundation Religion and Faith Program is working to build a world where LGBTQ people of faith are celebrated for every part of who they are, while fighting to ensure that religion is not used as a weapon of hate and discrimination.
