LGBTQIA+ Equality

We are a Welcoming Congregation, recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association. This means we affirm and include people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer at every level of congregational life—in worship, in programs, and in social gatherings—welcoming them as whole people.

As a Welcoming Congregation we have pledged to:
  • Honor the lives of all people and equally affirm displays of caring and affection without regard for sexual orientation.
  • Celebrate diversity by using inclusive language and content in worship.
  • Incorporate an understanding of the experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons throughout all of our programs, including religious education.
  • Affirm and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer issues, and history.
  • Affirm marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings.
  • Advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, promoting justice, freedom, and equality in the larger society.
  • Speak out when the rights and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are at stake.​
​We recognize that there’s always something more to learn and remain open to deepening our understanding of the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.

​
Our UUCY LGBTQIA+ Equality Team:
  • has hosted the PFLAG York Support Group (Parents, Friends, and Family of Lesbians and Gays) since 2003. Their monthly meetings are held in the Carriage House Library on the 3rd Tuesdays from 7-9PM.
  • has partnered with the Rainbow Rose Center to host regional Pride events, including the family- and child-oriented Equality Fest, Jr. for three years, and co-sponsors Equality Fest on an annual basis.

Our Purpose
Through action and partnership, the UUCY makes a commitment to welcoming and affirming individuals and families of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
