Loving thy neighbor means everyone.
The Public Religion Research Institute found in a 2019 survey that the majority of Texans across faith groups support equality for LGBTQ people.
Don’t let your religion be co-opted by those who use scripture as a sword. If you are a pastor, rabbi, imam, or other faith leader, your voice is important!
Sign here and let the LGBTQ community know that they are loved, supported, and welcome in your congregation and in Denton.
These places of worship have pledged their support for Equality in Denton.
Denton Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
www.dentonuuf.org
“We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person.”
The Denton Wesley Foundation
www.thedentonwesley.org
“Christianity is a verb, and its content is liberating, intersectional love seeking mutuality and equality.”
Trinity Presbyterian Church
www.tpcdenton.org
“Both myself and the congregation I serve (Trinity Presbyterian Church) would welcome a non-discrimination ordinance, though one that exempts faith communities in their hiring of pastoral leadership. As I have written in the local paper, and repeated in emails to City Council members, such an ordinance would send a powerful message that Denton has the back of the LGBTQ community, that they are not alone. As a follower of Christ who blessed the marginalized, I believe God calls us to no less.”

Kaleidoscope Lewisville
www.facebook.com/kaleidoscope-lewisville
“When you are you, in your whole, unique personhood, you belong here. When you have been told that you are worthless, and you’re starting to believe it, you belong here. When your gender and sexual identity and ideals clash with what ‘good church folk’ say you should be and believe, you belong here. When you suspect that there might be a God who truly, genuinely, unconditionally loves you for who you are, you belong here.”
We support our LGBTQ siblings, too.
Equal rights for all of Denton.
Y'all Means All
