THE RAINBOW DOOR: WHY IS THIS PETITION IMPORTANT?
This spring a rising trend of hate crimes toward the LGBTQ Community in NYC has led to an atmosphere of fear in our neighborhoods. Given the fact that most of the homophobic rhetoric in our country comes from faith communities (or justifies itself through the faith lens) it becomes particularly important that open and affirming communities of faith stand up and be counted. Not only do we want these communities to visibly identify themselves as "safe sanctuaries" to the LGBTQ Community, we want their voices to be heard in the wider faith dialogue in this country. PLEASE READ THE STATEMENT OF INTENT, SIGN THE PETITION & PASS ALONG TO YOUR FAITH COMMUNITY!https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQDifxFsjjfSz1jZ&w=154&h=154&url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.controlshiftlabs.com%2Fpetitions%2Fimages%2F6620%2Fform%2Frainbowlogo.jpg%3F1371052517http://action.groundswell-movement.org/petitions/rainbow-dooraction.groundswell-movement.org
