“We are here as Christians to say it’s part of our faith to honor the worth of all human beings, including our trans youth, LGBTQ folks and women.” Participants say they have one message to those who feel targeted by the legislation: You are not alone.
INDIANAPOLIS — Members of the United Church of Christ held a prayer walk to support transgender people who are harmed by current and pending legislations around the country, as well as protest anti-abortion laws.
“These bills are not to be justified by using the Christian faith,” Reverend Emma Loane said. “We are here as Christians to say it’s part of our faith to honor the worth of all human beings, including our trans youth, LGBTQ folks and women.” Other participants say they are asking legislators to show more consideration for those who will be affected by the new laws.
