We seek freedom from religious and political oppression for Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Queer and Questioning People

Soulforce is an organization which seeks out dialogue and non-violent protest in the vein of Mahatama Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr against bigotry and oppression both political and religious sectors.

WHAT IS THE PRIMARY GOAL OF SOULFORCE?
We believe that religion has become the primary source of false and inflammatory misinformation about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people. Fundamentalist Christians teach that we are "sick" and "sinful." Liberal Christian denominations teach that we are "incompatible with Christian teaching." Most conservative and liberal denominations refuse to marry us or ordain us for ministry. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that our orientation is "objectively disordered" and our acts of intimacy "intrinsically evil." They teach that we should not marry, adopt, co-parent, teach children, coach youth or serve in the military. Members of Dignity (the Catholic GLBT organization) are refused the use of Church property and the presence of a priest to conduct a Dignity Mass. We believe these teachings lead to discrimination, suffering, and death. Our goal is to confront and eventually replace these tragic untruths with the truth that we are God's children, too, created, loved, and accepted by God exactly as we are.
