SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Over 200 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) advocates and faith leaders will take part in the Faith & Family LGBTQ Power Summit Oct. 20-23. Hosted by the National LGBTQ Task Force, the four-day gathering will focus on elevating the voices of LGBTQ faith leaders, addressing attacks by anti-LGBTQ politicians using religion to discriminate against LGBTQ people, and providing communities of faith with tools to create a welcoming environment for LGBTQ people.
Bishop Yvette Flunder, who represents a coalition of over 100 Christian churches and ministries, will be giving the keynote address. The event will take place just days before the so-called World Congress of Families—a group monitored by the Southern Poverty Law Center for anti-LGBTQ hate crime activities.
