Description
For centuries, religious communities have been a source of support, yet LGBTQI+ people can face exclusion from spiritual care and community. Faith leaders—especially those who are LGBTQI+ themselves—hold unique power to drive change, fighting for inclusion of the very communities they belong to.
In this session, Imam Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed, Rabbi Reuben Zellman, and Reverend Jide Macauley will discuss their work advancing LGBTQI+ rights within their faiths. They will share how they navigate tradition and progress, challenge norms, and foster acceptance, while addressing their personal challenges, the impact of their advocacy, and their ongoing efforts to ensure no one is left behind.
