Faith Leaders Against Discrimination Open Letter

As pastors, ministers, rabbis and other faith leaders, we collectively voice our shared support for the full equality of LGBTQ+ Texans – equality before God and equality under the law. This deeply held belief is shared by many diverse congregations all across the state of Texas. 

Our faith compels us to oppose anti-transgender legislation, discriminatory laws masquerading as “religious freedom,” and any other attempts to treat Texas' LGBTQ+ community as second-class citizens.

Individually and collectively we will continue to speak out against all attempts to use our faith to demonize, discriminate against or bring harm to our LGBTQ+ siblings, to include the use of our faith as a strategy to undermine their dignity, respect, and equality. Furthermore, we encourage all Texans, including our state leaders and those across the country, to support policies, such as comprehensive nondiscrimination protections, that treat all Texans equally under the law, with dignity and respect, including the LGBTQ+ community.

Respectfully,
