Metropolitan Community Churches

STATEMENT:
Three organizations added their accolades to President Barack Obama for his affirmation of marriage for loving same-gender couples. The Global Justice Institute works in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America to support full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their families; the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries is a network of primarily African American congregations; and Metropolitan Community Churches has been performing marriages for same-gender couples for more than 40 years.

Metropolitan Community Churches
We are so proud of President Obama. He listened to committed couples; he listened to his daughters whose friends have same gender parents and he listened to the message of love in the Bible. He understands that two-tiered systems are never equal and affirmed his support for marriage for all loving couples. Through the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, President Obama heard faith leaders support marriage equality. He knows that pastors in the Metropolitan Community Churches around the world have performed thousands of marriages for loving same-gender couples for over forty years.

The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries
We hope everyone who felt that somehow being a person of faith conflicts with being an advocate for equality will take to heart the words of President Obama and find the courage to pray and reflect on the meaning of believing in a God who is defined as love. As a network of primarily African American churches that support same-gender-loving people and their families, we know the importance of equality before the law.

Global Justice Institute
We will not give up until Marriage Equality is the law, not only in North Carolina, but all across the United States and even the globe. President Obama’s evolution in thought and his courage in sharing his convictions give us all hope for the kind of changes globally that will guarantee freedom and equality for everyone. It is this conviction that gives us hope for a future where the world will live in peace with its God-given diversity.

Call for Celebration of Historic Moment in the Midst of Temporary Defeat

Call for Celebration of Historic Moment
In the Midst of Temporary Defeat:
All People of Faith Must Continue the Good Fight!

Office of the Global Justice Institute
Metropolitan Community Churches
The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries

For Immediate Release: 10 May 2012

Today Metropolitan Community Churches and congregations of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries around the globe can lift high the banner we were founded under: God’s all inclusive love and the right of every human being, including God’s LGBTI children, to live in the fullness of that love.

While the state of North Carolina passed a referendum making good, decent,
law-abiding, tax-paying citizens from all walks of life, including children, less
than equal citizens under an amended state constitution, the President of the
United States declared his support for Marriage Equality.

“I have to tell you,” President Obama said in an interview given yesterday in the
Cabinet room of the White House, “that over the course of several years
as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about
members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous
relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I
think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there
fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t
Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in marriage,
at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for
me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to
get married.”

While the North Carolina vote was and remains an act of violence, designed not only to limit the rights and social acceptance of LGBTI people and our families, but to marginalize heterosexual partners in committed or civil unions, the affirmation by President Obama is an act of courage that says clearly to every American, no matter our sexual orientation or gender identity, no matter the type of commitments we have made, we are all full and equal citizens who should be treated as such.

We hope every child who heard a sermon advocating extreme violence against those who are different from the majority will find strength in the President’s heartfelt interview today, and be able to hold on for the day when difference is no longer vilified or condemned. We hope every child who hears the President’s words will find hope for their futures.

And we hope every adult who felt that somehow being a person of faith conflicts with being an advocate for equality will take to heart the words of President Obama and find the courage to pray and reflect on the meaning of believing in a God who is defined as love.

“The North Carolina vote, while very disappointing,” said The Rev. Dr. Jim Merritt, Director for Marriage Equality and Adoptions for the Global Justice Institute and Public Policy Team, “must not be seen as the final word on Marriage Equality anywhere. Coalitions of those committed to equality and justice for all people have been built and empowered in ways that will enable them to continue working in North Carolina and all over the country. We will not give up until Marriage Equality is the law, not only in North Carolina, but all across the United States and even the globe. President Obama’s evolution in thought and his courage in sharing his convictions give us all hope for the kind of changes globally that will guarantee freedom and equality for everyone.”

Six states in the United States as well as the District of Columbia and 10 nations currently guarantee marriage equality. The Department of Justice in the United States has been ordered not to defend DOMA {Defense of Marriage Act} in the federal court system.

The day is coming, friends and colleagues, when marriage equality will be the rule of law, because it is the will of God. We firmly believe this. It is this conviction that gives us hope for a future where the world will live in peace with its God-given diversity.

Hold on! Don’t ever give up! The defeat in North Carolina is only temporary. A better, more accepting and supportive world is before us.

Grace and Peace,

+Nancy +Yvette

A Call to Prayer and Action for International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia {IDAHO}

globaljusticeteam — Thu, 03 May 2012 15:20:51 +0000

A Call to Prayer and Action

for

International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia {IDAHO}

May 17, 2012

Each year on May 17^th people around the globe together lift their voices in calling for respect and equality for LGBTI people.

Initiated in 2004 by the French academic, Louis-Georges Tin, the date coincides with the 1990 removal of homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases by the World Health Organization, and has grown to include participants in over 70 nations. The Parliament of the European Union and the governments of Spain, Belgium, Mexico, Costa Rica, the Netherlands, France, Luxemburg and Brazil officially commemorate the day.

This year in the Philippines there will be a march to the Commission of Human Rights to present a list of those who have fallen victim to hate crimes, and MCC of Quezon City will sponsor the 3^rd annual Flores de Mayo LGBT Pride March in Manila.

In Morocco, Gay Maroc, an LGBT organization, will launch a national campaign to repeal Article 489, which criminalizes same sex relationships.
In New South Wales PFLAG will host a day commemorating the families of LGBT people.
In China, Hong Kong and Taiwan an IDAHO lesson kit will be distributed and a SAFE ZONE program to create friendly campuses for LGBT students will be initiated.
In Kenya, Women Working with Women will host a sports tournament between LGBT teams and allies.

Many will march, demonstrate and speak out for an end to violence and in promotion of peaceful coexistence among diverse populations, calling for unity and equality.

This year the Global Justice Institute, a joint ministry of Metropolitan Community Churches and The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, is calling all our churches and communities of faith to observe IDAHO by hosting a Prayer Vigil that day or designating the Sunday before or after May 17th as IDAHO SUNDAY.

Together MCC and TFAM have congregations and groups in over 40 countries and we can be a powerful and prayerful voice for ending criminalization laws and promoting social, political and religious policies that guarantee equality for God’s LGBTI children.

An on-line video about IDAHO, suitable for educational purposes is available in English {http://player.vimeo.com/video/41191271}, in Spanish {http://vimeo.com/41429156} and in French {http://player.vimeo.com/video/41191281}. — In addition to the video, a resources for liturgical use follow this letter.

Together, we can make May 17^th and the Sundays surrounding it days when the voices of LGBT people and our allies around the globe are lifted in praise for the gift of our lives and in petition for the day when the earth will be at peace with its own diversity.

In solidarity,

Violence Against Women

globaljusticeteam — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:56:25 +0000

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT

Issue Update: LGBTQ Provisions of S. 1925 Myths v. Facts

VAWA is at the center of a national discussion and will soon move through Congress. In fact, S. 1925, the real VAWA has been filed as a “motion to proceed” in the Senate and is likely to be heard on the Senate floor within days or weeks. While every politician has expressed their support for VAWA, some have not committed to support S. 1925, the real VAWA, which has been introduced into the Senate with key provisions that will protect all victims. Some Senate Republicans will be offering their own version of VAWA when the Senate takes up the bill and it guts the bipartisan S. 1925. We have to save S. 1925′s important provisions that provide better access to law enforcement for women in Indian country, better access for immigrant women who fear deportation if they report violence, and better access for LGBT victims who are finding doors to shelters and programs closed to them.

So our job, though it seems complicated, is really simple at the grassroots and community level. Tell your Senators and Representatives: “We won’t go back to the tragic days before VAWA passed in 1994. We won’t abandon girls and women, boys and men, just because they have special needs and special circumstances that have not been addressed previously. There are no ‘bad’ victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, only humans who need and deserve our embrace and help. Pass S. 1925.”

You may have heard concerns raised about the VAWA provisions protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) victims and survivors in your meetings and discussions with senators who haven’t yet signed on in full support of S. 1925 and perhaps in the media. It is crucial that all advocates understand and fully support these critically important provisions in VAWA. For that reason, the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, a member of the National Task Force, has compiled the following responses to misinformation being circulated about the LGBTQ provisions. Please incorporate factual information about the LGBTQ provisions in your VAWA advocacy and use and distribute these facts to respond to any concerns raised.

The Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization—S.1925

The Truth About LGBTQ Provision

Myth: Domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking and dating violence does not affect the LGBTQ community.

Fact: The LGBTQ community experiences these types of violence as the approximately the same rate as non-LGBTQ victims– 25-33% of relationships — however, they often face unique barriers to receiving services.

LGBT victims are denied services. For example, 45 percent of LGBT victims were turned away when they sought help from a domestic violence shelter, according to a 2010 survey, and nearly 55 percent of those who sought protection orders were denied them.2
Service providers lack cultural competency. A 2010 study found that many victim services providers lack services specific to the needs of LGBT victims and have not received training in how to assist with the unique needs of these victims. Specialized services are particularly important for this population because reporting rates and prosecution rates are very low.3

Myth: Provisions addressing the LGBTQ community in VAWA are expanding services to a whole new population not previously covered and/or mandating LGBTQ specific programs in every state.

Fact: LGBTQ survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking and dating violence are already receiving services under VAWA. However, LGBTQ survivors face additional barriers when accessing services. The proposed changes help make clear to STOP state administrators and others the LGBTQ individual and programs can be served and funded under VAWA.

These provisions reflect a comprehensive needs assessment. Thousands of service providers, law enforcement, court personnel, victims and family of victims were consulted over a two year nationwide assessment of what is working and where improvements are needed in the response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Those efforts consistently revealed the desperate need for more training and targeted services to effectively address the needs of LGBTQ victims.
There are no mandated LGBTQ programs. There is nothing in VAWA that mandates that a state fund an LGBTQ specific program. The modest changes to VAWA simply clarify that LGBTQ programs are eligible for funding.

Myth: Including non-discrimination provisions protecting the LGBTQ community will expose service providers to litigation hurting all survivors.

Fact: Enforcement authority for this provision lies with the Department of Justice. If DOJ finds that a service provider receiving federal funding is violating the non-discrimination provision, they must give the provider notice and a chance to stop discriminating. Otherwise the Department is able to stop the funds going to the service provider discriminating against victims.

No danger of litigation. There is no private right of action in the VAWA.
All victims deserve services. No program being funded by federal VAWA dollars should be allowed to turn away a domestic violence victim because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity.
