Beloveds,
The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) recently joined eight other denominations in issuing an interfaith collective statement of support for trans, non-binary, and intersex people, affirming that they “deserve respect, love, and equal rights.”
The collective statement (which can be read in full on the UUA website) “unequivocally proclaim[s] the holiness of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people,” and that the signatories from different religions “share a fundamental belief … that all people hold infinite value and dignity, and we are morally compelled to care for those living under persecution.”
UUA President, the Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, shares a personal video message of care and community connection honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance 2025. The video also includes a list of Trans lives lost or harmed by violence in the past year. We honor these vibrant, beautiful lives as we recommit as people of faith and good will to continue to work to build a world where all people are safe and can thrive. The video closes with a litany of affirmations on the sacredness and wholeness of Trans people. I encourage you to view the video message by clicking the button below.
Transgender and nonbinary people seeking support and resources can visit the UUA’s UPLIFT blog, a platform for the UUA to highlight LGBTQ+ issues and concerns by featuring related programming, reflections, and content, can be accessed by visiting https://www.uua.org/lgbtq/blog.
