Welcoming LGBTQ+ and Allies
Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists (UUs), we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome. Learn more

Side With Love Message of Love and Solidarity with Trans and Nonbinary People
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Plattsburgh welcomes, celebrates and supports the lives, relationships and contributions of its lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual members and friends. Listen to our Side With Love message of love and solidarity.
We affirm and include people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer at every level of congregational life — in worship, in program and in social occasions — welcoming them as whole people.
We pledge 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, and 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. We speak out when the rights and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people are at stake.
