The LGBTQ+ community has been actively advocating for inclusion for almost one hundred years. In December 10, 2024, the Society for Human Rights founded by Henry Gerber in Chicago was the first gay rights organization. In 1972 William R Johnson (Bill Johnson) was the first openly gay minister to be ordained through the United Church of Christ. There are many queer Christians that have been serving the Christian Church around the world in our times. This page seeks to list out LGBTQ+ resources for any looking to connect with faith communities that are affirming, or with other allies of faith communities whether they are affirming or not. The hope is that this resource will help connect and build bridges looking to the day that the church lives fully into the gospel hope of John 17:22 "The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one".
