Southern Baptist Convention Calls to Ban Same-Sex Marriage

7. Absolutely.

I attend an Episcopal church. In 2026, that denomination will celebrate 50 years of "affirming that LGBTQ+ people have a full and equal claim to the love, acceptance, and pastoral care of the church." Source: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/organizations-affiliations/lgbtq/

I can attest to the fact the Episcopal Church is serious about this stance of inclusiveness. Among, other things, the rector of the church I attend is a married gay man, and the parish is one of the sponsors of local pride events.

I hate it when people accuse all Christians of homophobia and transphobia, based on the actions of denominations like the SBC. Christianity is NOT a monolith. There is great diversity among various denominations, on this and other issues.

I know some here are down on religion in general, and that is their right. I just object to "all religion" or all branches of Christianity being tarred with the same brush on issues where I know that is simply not true.
