More information
The primary source of spiritual violence and misinformation against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) individuals comes from religious leaders and institutions who adhere to a rigid theology and misguided teachings used to condemn and shame non-heterosexuals. It is the mission of Soulforce to work to end spiritual violence perpetuated by these anti-gay religious policies and teachings. It is our hope that by learning about these policies, dialoguing with denominational leaders, and taking action, we can help cut off the suffering at its source. We seek freedom from religious and political oppression for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning people. We believe in relentless nonviolent resistance against religious and political oppression of LGBTQ people. We believe that the LGBTQ community consists of people from every race, class, and walk of life and that the liberation of LGBTQ people cannot be achieved without working in solidarity against all forms of discrimination and oppression.
