During times when you have highly visible voices chiming in on everything from gender expression to sexual orientation, it is important for LGBTQ+ individuals, especially within the African-American community to feel affirmed and supported.The Bible says that “God is love” and in many cases, simply saying those words while affirming one’s sexual and gender identity can change a life.

If you are a Black religious or spiritual leader and you would like to commit to standing in solidarity with the Black LGBTQ community in word and deed, we are asking that you sign the "Love Thy Neighbor" Pledge.

Our goal is to achieve 10,000 signatures to show the negative influences that strive to invalidate the lives and experiences of the Black LGBTQ+ community have no space in this world. Your signature will serve as a Voice of Healing reminding LGBTQ+ people around the world that they are valuable, worthy, and loved.
