Although religion remains the biggest obstacle in the fight for equal rights for the LGBT community, not every faith can be blamed.
The Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center (MGLCC) is hoping to showcase some of the local inclusive churches and faith groups in their first annual Faith Fair tonight (Tues., Nov. 11th) from 4 to 7 p.m.
“Our goal is to bridge the gap between the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community and the local Memphis religious community. We welcome you to help bridge that gap for those of us who have felt turned away from faith regardless of creed or denomination,” reads the event’s Facebook invite.
Ministers and faith leaders of various churches and organizations will be present. The event is open to any religion and every denomination.
