Statement regarding the US Presidential Election

Dear friends,

The result of last evening’s presidential election is disappointing for many and, most certainly, has left a sense of uncertainty in the hearts and minds of many in the LGBTIQ community as to what it means for us. 

For nearly 40 years, SDA Kinship has been speaking with and on behalf of current and former LGBTIQ Seventh-day Adventists and those who support them. Today, this is clearer than ever before: The opposition is united and this is our chance to stand together. 

We need you now, more than ever, to stand with us. We must be strong together as we build bridges within our communities, especially now that marriage equality, protections in the workplace, and transgender rights are on the line.

Even so, we must still hold on to these truths: that love trumps hate (this is how we respond) and that we are stronger together (yes, we must stand together). 

And so, in the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., it is our hope that "while the arc of the moral universe is long, it bends toward justice."

Consider partnering with us today in the fight for justice by donating $5 or more.
