Solidarity Prayer

In affirmation of the inherent worth and dignity of every person
And in our desire to promote justice, equity, and compassion in human relations,
Let it be known that we wish to live in solidarity with each other and to rejoice in our
diversity.
We pray that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight people experience justice, enjoy peace, and spread love throughout the world.
We pray this in respect for and appreciation of the interdependent web of which we are all a part.
Blessed be.

Solidarity Pledge

I will work for civil and human rights for all people, including gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders.
Civil rights are not special rights.
I will seek to stop jokes and unkind language about anyone, including GLBT persons, when spoken in my presence.
Bigotry and words that hurt are not funny.
I will speak out against any slander, debasement, lies, or dehumanization of anyone, including GLBT persons, especially when spoken by political or religious leaders.
Violent speech leads to physical violence.
I will work to stop physical violence against anyone, including violence against GLBT persons.
Violence against any person is violence against all persons.
