What&#;s at Stake

We celebrate major advances in LGBTQ+ rights at both the local and national level. However, members of this community still encounter discrimination that violates personhood and challenges rights. Some religious communities have been among the worst offenders, with claims of tolerance masking a mission to “correct” behavior regarded as incompatible with their interpretation of scripture. Standing in defense of the marginalized and oppressed, Old South has been a dedicated advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals for decades — even before we rushed to embrace the community in the midst of the devastating AIDS crisis. We are proudly open and unabashedly affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families, and work toward breaking down the barriers that prevent their full inclusion in society.
